OK LOC,
I'll stop, I've said everything I have to say. Just one thing though, these people you call fools, they are just people; my brother, your sister, the hotdog vendor, the mailman. They are not fools, they are only interested in sharing the prosperity they've heard so much about. It's one thing to make an error in judgement and lose your investment, it's quite another when your investment never had a chance in the first place. I don't consider it 'correct' to make money because others are naive enough to lose it. They are not fools, only momentarily foolish. They did not commit any crime, they did not try and buy drugs and got ripped off, they made an investment in a scam that was never intended to succeed. They do not deserve to lose their hard earned money in a scam. Ourvillage.com will not take off. I'm not suggesting that these ideas of theirs simply don't succeed just because they are stupid (though they are), I'm telling you they were never developed and never meant to be. PABN makes money by issuing a HUGE # of shares, keeping most of them and selling during a runup following the latest announcement. It's that simple. Unbelieveable, but true. Technically, there may not even be anything illegal about it, I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. I will suggest that all 1.7 billion shares are now in circulation. Anyway, why on earth are you so upset with my 'bashing' your investment. If you believe me, get out. If not, then certainly you can't believe that the voice of one crying in the cyber wilderness is going to effect the success of a company. I know that it won't. There won't be any success, except for a few, who in my mind are no better than swindlers. But ironically, that outcome actually makes the venture a success, because that was the point all along. http://www.ragingbull.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=PABN&read=91095 |
