I wonder if you can amass that kind of wealth without being a douchebag .

To run big business? Not a chance. To ride a bubble in the market the right way? Yeah, little bit little bit

...Rather easily? Not everyone with money is Alec Baldwin or Donald Trump. In fact, most aren't. It's just that the douches are the ones that seek public attention.

You can and people do. There are plenty of super wealthy people that are douchebags and plenty that are not, and it occurs in much the same ratios that normal folks are douchebags and aren't. The difference is that they're placed under far more scrutiny than your average schmo, and the wealth maginifies the qualities that exist.

That's the collective opinion of all 4.5 million New Zealanders right now too....

The Oracle guy.

And I don't know.

The man tried to buy a Harrier jet and was quoted as saying he would use it to fire a missile through Bill Gates' window if he could get his hands on one.

So there's that...

Ahh.. Team Oracle made a huge comeback and is currently tied for the lead in the America's Cup.

He is. My aunt used to work for him, and he's worse behind closed doors than his tantrums in public.

Jelly? Hell no ... I didn't want the Kiwis to win. I want the Cup here in the US.

Your post was about Ellison being a douche.

Exactly the same?! I guess I have been going about this all wrong.

Disregard wealth, acquire cocaine... GOT IT! All of my dreams seem so much more attainable now! :P

1) A negative assessment of one's character is not an indicator of envy.

2) My post was NOT about Ellison being a douche, it was about Team Oracle successfully defending the America's Cup in what was arguably one of the finest comeback stories in the history of sport. I just tossed out the fact that Larry is a douche because ... well, he just is.

The only thing I see in your post is:

"I still think Larry Ellison is a big fat douchebag ...

(But ... way to go, guys!)"

And your post ISN'T about him being a douche?

Brian, The Life of > delete-me-please123

Not specifically, no.

Look, I see you're trying to defend your boy Larry's honor here and, while that might be considered respectable, you're just spending way too much energy on it at this point.

Especially since he actually is a big fat douchebag.

Agreed. He's a douche, but I like his plane too.

Not at this point. Just trying to figure out why you wont admit that your post had nothing to do with AC and everything to do with Ellison. You really don't get that?

Oh, and you're jelly.

Victorious Secret > Brian, The Life of

Someone lacks reading comprehension I think...

You said you still think Ellison is a douche, which is a fair assessment that I can sympathize with. You also said you're glad the cup says in America.

Valid statements, carry on.

Besides, if hating someone successful makes me jelly then damn, I'm jelly of a lot of people. It is possible that a person can just be a douchebag regardless of their social status or success. But project failed reading comprehension.

Well, basically. Cocaine = wealth.

Shit, I shouldn't have said that out loud.

Brian, The Life of > delete-me-please123
09/25/2013 at 19:25

Quite simply because I never would have posted anything at all related to Mr. Ellison were it not for the fact that Team Oracle managed to keep the cup in said fantastic, historic comeback. The "Ellison = Douchebag" bit just came along for the ride.

Ok, you got me ... I'm TOTALLY JELLY because I've always wanted to be a big fat douchebag and I just never made it. Are you happy now?

The braggadocio + the residue = appearance of wealth! Cocaine ain't got time for the real value of the underlying assets

09/25/2013 at 19:30

Most of the people I've done shoots for are rich beyond belief, yet they are humble as pie.

Its amazing that people don't NEED to be jackasses about their wealth. Most aren't.

09/25/2013 at 19:36

How are you not getting this?

"The "Ellison = Douchebag" bit just came along for the ride." It was the ONLY thing in your post. How are you still defending that your post had nothing to do with Ellison?

Brian, The Life of > delete-me-please123
09/25/2013 at 19:39

Seriously, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT A THROWAWAY COMMENT ON AN INTERNET FORUM?!

Unless ... Holy shit, you're actually Larry Ellison!!!

Why cant you admit it Captain Caps Lock? If you're gunna post shit, at least read what you wrote.

09/25/2013 at 19:54

Fucking tired of talking to 3rd graders around here.

Brian, The Life of > delete-me-please123
09/25/2013 at 19:54

First, I did not use caps lock. I was so serious about that question that I actually held down the shift key while I typed that part.

Now, let's break down the original post. First I said:

"I still think Larry Ellison is a big fat douchebag"

Note the word "still." Still after what? After the Oracle team managed to come back and keep the Cup, that's what. Again, had this not happened, I would have had zero reason/motivation to even write that line. Which leads us to:

"(But ... way to go, guys!)"

Now, Mr. Ellison, even your douchie self can recognize that this bit had NOTHING whatsoever to do with my (nor the vast majority of others') opinion of you. Not everything is about you. So, either file a lawsuit against me for positing that you are a douchebag (comma, big fat) on an Internet forum or kindly shut the fuck up.
