you're summary is perfect.
better for middle to upper limit, but believe me can be helpful for lower games. DRY, very DRY, but i liked it because i felt like i was learning. Imagine taking a college course on Hold em. It sucks reading a text book, but at least you like the subject matter... make sense?

these kids were between 5 and 8... too sad.
The thing that troubles me is that it wasnt like he went nuts and did it. I mean, say he just flipped out and attacked one kid. Thats crazy enough.
But i can imagine this scenario where they are waiting in live to have thier ears cut off. I mean, when he got to kid #15, wasnt he even saying to himself: WTF am i doing?

The lengths Drewbashers will go to foment dissent against him on this board is bordering on the ridiculous. This excrement(don't want any confusion here)
has got to stop. Now it's kabala stuff.
Wait...look over there...in the shadows! It's Bledsoe..he's out to get you!!
Get a hobby, man. Read a book.
Ok, thanks for the insult. Ill get a hobby and read a book tomorrow.
Now can you answer my question?:
Would people still support Bledsoe if his last name was Johnson? or Collins, or Gilbert? and he still played like he is now?

This fact could win you some mucho $$$$ in a bar bet. The fact that no one wears a cup is so unbelievable, i dont even know what to say...
WTF?

the real reason i wanted one is so when there are calls like this, and i want to bash the ref, at least i know that my bashing is correct.
Like last week, when the official said "the hold started outside of the endzone", why would i NOT believe him? But, like posted above, that was NOT the correct call.
What a crock of stevestojan.

Does anyone know where I can get an official copy of the NFL rule book?
I enjoy reading from time to time, but only very particular things (like "Texas Hold Em for Advanced Players" I must recommend that book, i can send it to anyone who wants to read it, just promise to return it!). Anyway, I would like to read all of the rules, in book format. Anyone know of a place to get it?

From CBS Gamebook, Cle at Dal:
Cleveland Browns at 0:09
1-10-CLV 1 (:09) (Shotgun) 5-J.Garcia pass incomplete to 80-K.Winslow. Pass thrown left sideline at the Cleveland 15.
PENALTY on CLV-73-J.Gonzalez, Offensive Holding, 1 yard, enforced in End Zone, SAFETY - No Play. Timeout #2 by DAL at 00:08.
Wow... !@#$ing wow!!! WHAT THE !@#$???

I have no clue how that blown safety call was made...(or wasnt made, i guess)
The hold started OUTSIDE of the endzone? Who gives a crap? The QB was IN THE EZ!!! And the hold continued until WELL INTO THE EZ!!!
I was so pissed (rather drunk too) at that point.

The only reason they're getting the backlash is because of idiots who look at the proverbial gift horse in the mouth. If you don't want the tax burden, turn down the car.
Or take some responsibility and pay the friggin tax on your own.
Are you saying that these poor people need to have Pontiac pay their taxes, because they're too feeble to do that on their own?
Or will this turn into the obliagtory hate the corporate America thread because GM is saddling the downtrodden with undue taxes?
hmmm... good post. I think you actually changed my mind with it.... especially:
"The only reason they're getting the backlash is because of idiots who look at the proverbial gift horse in the mouth"
Its true. You are right. I mean, if they hadnt gone to the show, they got nothing. Now they have a $27k car, easily sellable (is sellable a word?) for $23000, and then but a nice $15-$17K car +tax and be all set.
You're right!

There's this old guy that works at the Denny's I go to. He is super, SUPER nice guy. He always talks to my friends and I when we go in. He's probably about 75ish. He always makes sure we have everything we need, and always spends time with us. But not to the point where he overstays his welcome. He is indeed a class act, and his tips are always well above 30%. Anyway, like I said, he is a class act all the way. Super nice guy, and wouldn't take crap from anyone.
Point being, I still wouldnt want him to QB my football team.

I think you got more replies that you were supposed to. Since you didnt report that to SDS immediatly, the thread went Bye Bye..

Just to clarify - the cars were not a gift. AFAIK, gifts for tax rules can only be given by individuals. The gift taxes and related exemptions that people are talking about in this thread, are taxes levied on the donors, not the receipients. The reason is that the IRS doesn't want to lose out on the inheritance(death) taxes and doesn't allow people to trickle their estates away while they're still alive. Thus, they set a $12K/yr tax free amounts.
Real gifts are always tax free to the receipients.
The Oprah thing is not a gift from the IRS standpoint, but a marketing promotion by Pontiac, thus is fully taxable to the receipients.
Of course as others have clearly pointed out, anytime you have to pay $7,000 for something that's worth $21,000, you are a winner. I can buy a hell of a lot of $14,000 cars that will run for another 100,000 miles.
Quit crying.
Buuuuuut, if Pontiac didnt want any of this backlash (that they are obviously receiving), they should have given away a $17,000 car, AND paid the taxes on them.. They look GREAT (because now these people can actually DRIVE their car, and not have to go through the hassle of selling it, and then buying another car.

$80 a pop? Kinda steep, no? Actually, its $87 each...
I guess thats not that bad actually... the game is Sold out, right?
good find.

We all understand that "gift" and "prize winnings" are taxable, and while I do not have a problem in general with paying taxes on "prizes", why in the world should the government be able to tax a gift, of any size? Why shouldn't one be able to give their child $25,000 or $50,000 tax free (gift) to help them buy a house, or even "just because"? To accumulate that "gift", many taxes were already paid two, three, four times or more in various ways, etc. Same goes for inheritance taxes. Doesn't matter the amount, just because it transfers from one person to another, in the land of the free, the government should not have "dibs" on any of it. Sure, there exist some legal ways to get around a chunk of the "gift" taxes, (make it a loan and sign promisory note with very low payments, etc), but why must one have to weasel around the tax code at all? We all understand that the Govenment needs capital to fund the programs , roads, security, etc., we all want, but enough is enough. Damn, I sound a bit too conservative here, even for my own tastes.
I dont know why gifts are taxed... I know you can give your spouce a one time gift up to a certain amount tax free (I learned that from Shawshank Redemption
).... but if you didnt have to pay taxes on gifts, the Bills would never leave Buffalo. So, this thread kinda is on topic!
