    if I talked about how and why the businesses go through the process I will pay you $10,000. Bet? Another Strawman?

    So? if I said it was a business strategy that worked I will pay you $10,000. Do you have any idea what the subject is here? Maybe you should try law school to learn to think and write logically?

    so you've defeated yourself without knowing it. Business is about risk. The guy who takes the biggest risk is often the winner. Yes 1000's go down the tubes because we are entrepreneurs, it is in our nature but the one who succeeds does so based on his spirit not the advice of a scared MBA paper pusher bureaucrat.

    You have no clue. There's a helluva difference between an entrepreneur and a corporate executive with a board of directors and shareholder obligations.

    Get back to me when you learn the difference. I personally am totally familiar with entrepreneurial risk taking. I have have owned three business and participated in 6 technology start ups in addition to my corporate career.

    Sadly you don't now what you don't know, and what you do know (your posts) appears more than enough to demonstrate that fact.

    your failure to grasp cultural references speaks volumes for your intellectual capacity. I get it, you can't help it.

    of course if true you would not be so afraid to give us the evidence of an absence of knowledge. Personal attack is used to change the subject when you lack the IQ for the subject.

    if true why so afraid to present evidence of low intellectual capacity? What do you learn from your fear?

    Caveat: I don't accept monoply money.

    Not sure exactly what you're betting on? My understanding of a standard logical fallacy?

    I can't help it if you can't reconize substance. As for losing, I wasn't aware it was a contest with winners and losers, but if you wish to couch this as a contest of knowledge and expertise, then your rhetorical declaration is to be expected.

    CAn you tell us what planet you are on?

    I totally understand your inability to grasp what experience, expertise and knowledge has to do with voicing opinions. AFterall you don't need any.

    1) you made a child like assertion (a strawman) on par with 1+1=2
    2) you pretended I disagreed with your child like assertion
    3) you pretended you were superior because you knew 1+1=2
    4) I bet you $10,000 I had never disagreed about 1+1=2

    now do you understand?

    if your experience has led you to logical conclusions why not present just one of your logical conclusions so we can see. So far only garbage from you, not logical conclusions.

    I think you need a lesson in how discussion boards work

    You QUOTE the person you wish to reply to by hitting the little button marked "reply" at the end of that person's post

    you said: "tragically you think you are making sense".

    1) that is not substance it is pure ignorance
    2) both sides in a debate always think they are making sense and your opponent always thinks you are not.

    a child knows this is a given so does not point it out thinking he is scoring points by doing so. Why are you acting so childlike??

    No actually its not, but then again I am not surprised in the fashion you interpreted my statement.

    1. your recognition of substance is the point of my statement so thanks for confirmation
    2. OH? perhaps in your experience of "debate", but in mine making sense is what its all about in the first place and going into a debate with such an prejudicial attitude is self defeating.

    A child knows these things, but for some reason when you have nothing else you decide to descend into nonsensical - you're being a child and you don't know how to debate. If only you owned a mirror.

    review of posts leads me to the logical conclusion that nothing can be gained from interacting with you.
