So you have a technically unlimited source of money, in realistic terms.

Charlie Sheen was/ is an insane baseball fan.  He once bought all the seats in right field at Angels Stadium in the hopes of he (or the 15 or so friends he brought along) could lay claim to a landmark homerun of Cecil Fielder.  He owns the contract that sent the Babe from the Red Sox to the Yankees.  He slowed down his collecting when one mornign he opened his bedside table and found a road-jersey that belonged to Ted WIlliams that he did nto remember buying.

All of that was before he was making Two and a Half Men money.

Now he makes somehting like $22 million a show, and spends the money in a similarly self-serving way -- bricks of coke, hookers and pushing expensive cars into ravines.  Keep in mind, he's not irresponsible, he still turns up for shoots, says his lines, does his job.  Sure there was the locking a hooker in a closet, and a racist rant in a restaurant, but coke can probably do that to a man.

Then you have Bill Gates.  He has more money than most of us on this site -- more power too.  He's married, has kids.  Spends most of his time these days convincing other rich people to give their money to his cause to cure malaria and polio in third world countries.  It sounds pretty honorable, but not like a lot of fun.  And if it is fun, there is probably a psychological disorder in there waiting to be diagnosed.

I got to say, I'm not sure which road I'd take, or even if one is better than the other.

Is this an example of Id versus Ego?  Nouvea riche?  Gates grew up with money, so it's probably not novel -- but then Charlie was the son of Martin Sheen.

Any and all thoughts on behaviors of those unencumbered by restricted finances welcomed.

"He has more money than most of us on this site -- more power too."

Who here has more money and power on this site than Bill Gates?

I'd like to be myself too, and if failing that I'd like to be Yoda. Even if I didn't have enough money to live as I'm doing now I wouldn't be bothered by it at all. I mean I've amassed a whole pile of crap over time, as have other people in the house. The pile keeps growing, but if it were to stop would there be much difference? No. Actually, there wouldn't be a great deal of difference if the pile was gone either.

Unless you don't have enough money to eat or for medical expenses then you aren't really encumbered by a lack of money IMO. At least I wouldn't be. Which is easy for one to say without being in that situation; but one can come to that conclusion through other avenues!

Now let's be serious for a moment.

I'd rather be him. Yes, even though he has red hair!

Or at the other end of the spectrum:

That totally is Pachter.  Are we going to do any more research on this?  Leo, was there a credit roll on that movie?  Who was he listed as, we have to be able to solve this.

You need to post this on GameTrailers on his video series!

Can we compare his glasses frames?  That should be some pretty good proof.

Aspro, why are you seeing dicks where there aren't any?

I'm no miner, but that looks like a shaft to me.
