Xander Vos Sith Emperor Joined: 08 Jan 2006 Posts: 19753 Location: The Sith Temple Think of proffesional sportsmen. They give up about 12 years of their life, maybe more, to purely staying fit and playing a particular sport. 24/7 365 days a year they have to be careful what they eat, work out, and perform. You're saying their salaries aren't deserved? I'd like to see you try and do what they do for a year on their salary. You'd give up. _________________ Time to start again.

Even though you aren't needed on the team, they'll pay you just for that.  Tell me thats deserved. _________________ Audi famam illius                                    Aftershock.
