But imagine if you were a billionaire... You could pay 1 different hollywood actress everyday to have sex...

 

 

what would you want to pay one of them things for?... id prefer a real human being.

 

anyway, theres no difference you know!

I prefer animals

 

That is my perogative

 

There are no starving kids in this country and if I donated my money to Africa it would end up funding Mercedes' and palaces for corrupt dictators and their cronies not helping the starving

 

When I die every penny I have will be going to designated dogs homes, donkey sanctuaries and charities that help endangered species

 

But are you doing things now?

Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is a fatal disease of the Tasmanian Devil. First seen in 1999, the disease has ravaged Tasmania's wild devils, and estimates of the impact range from 20% to as much as a 50% decline in the devil population with over 65% of the State affected.[1][2] Affected high-density populations suffer up to 100% mortality in 12–18 months.[3] The disease has mainly been concentrated in the State’s eastern half, although in early 2005, three cases were confirmed in South Tasmania.[citation needed]

 

DFTD begins as lesions and lumps around the mouth. The lesions and lumps develop into cancerous tumours that spread from the face to the entire body. The tumours interfere with feeding, and the affected animal may starve to death.

 

Using cultures of the cancerous tissue to study the condition, researchers have identified the cancer as neuroendocrine in nature, and all cancer cells have identical chromosomal rearrangements.[4] A virus was initially thought to be the cause of DFTD, but no evidence of such a virus could be detected in the cancer cells. The cancer cells themselves are an infective agent, with transmission of the disease occurring by biting, feeding on the same material, and aggressive mating. Final confirmation of this came when researcher Anne-Maree Pearse and colleagues found an infected animal that had a chromosomal abnormality in its non-tumourous cells that did not appear in its tumour cells, proving that the tumour cells could not be descended from the animal's own cells.[5][6][7] Pearse believes that this may prove vital to the survival of the devils. Since June 2005, three females have been found that are partially resistant to DFTD.[8]

 

The DFTD cells have a similar karotype to cancer cells from canine transmissible venereal tumor, a cancer of dogs that is transmitted between animals by physical contact.[4]

Yes I am

 

While I will keep the amount I donate to charity each year private as I don't want to play oneupmanship over that sort of thing it is a substantial amount of money and it is all donated to various animal related causes

 

I essentially agree with the original point - too much emphasis put on materialism, and the whole "lottery" thing was summed up extremely well by Jarvis Cocker in his song "Mis-Shapes" -

 

Check your lucky numbers

That much money would drag you under

What's the point in being rich?

If you cant think what to do with it

Cos you're so bloody thick...

 

Pretty much sums up people like the "King of the Chavs" really....

 

Me, if I had that much money, I'd firstly buy a fairly nice house in London for me and my girlfriend, preferably in Camden, make sure my family and mates were alright, save a fair bit of it for the future, go to the London Film School and do an MA in film-making (cos it's waaaay to expensive for me to do at the moment...) and then fund my first low-budget horror film as my graduation film..... :)

 

See, I actually have a plan of what I'd do.....

....... youre young enough scott ...lol.. my plans would be to stay alive as long as poss! lol..

 

but actually im being quite serious. im probably too old now to change to a different lifestyle... im used to and am comfortable with my life, though a few extra quid would be nice!

 

wealth though really does mean nothing. you arnt a better person by it, you wont get a front seat in heaven <_<, it doesnt really buy you any more time off the grim reaper, and tbh, id feel rather guilty living an opulent lifestyle when kiddies hospices are full of victims, wildlife is being destroyed, ........ man theres so much more important things.

And when I die I would donate the whole lot to animal charities

 

Good for you. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

 

 

I would give a lot money to animal charities too. Ones like the bears and elephants that are tortured etc, and try and stop animals being killed for their fur somehow.

 

I'm not interested in flashy cars. I wouldn't mind a nice house though.

 

I wouldn't tell too many people if i won, I'd soon see 'friends' coming out of the woodworm trying to be nice just to get money off me. -_-

what would you want to pay one of them things for?... id prefer a real human being.

 

anyway, theres no difference you know!

 

And I'm FANTASTIC, and I don't cost nowt so nerrr :P

 

No really I am good.

 

Anyway yeah I'd like a few bob, I have plans for the future and a bit of money would help a great deal, I'm not talking millions cos that's stupid cos I'd still work I couldn't be sat on my arse all day doing jack, but a bit of money to help jet start my life wouldn't go a miss...
