It will be great. I love kids a lot. My goal for the foundation will be to make it the most efficient non profit ever. Nobody will take a dime out of it, 100% will go to the kids. While anonymous work are awesome... the goal of it will be to generate a lot of publicity about the troubled kids of the world. So I think the more awareness the better.
Last night on my freeway exit I ran into a young homeless kid. I went home and got some bread, apples, apple sauce, water, candy bars and went back down the hill to give to him. After brief chat, I learn that he's 20 years old from Arkansas... he's out here because he did a few stupid things in Arkansas and he had to leave. According to him he boosted (stolen) 37 cop cars. Dumb kids stuff; he was 17 when he did that. He didn't seem like a bad kid, but just a lost one that mad bad decisions. I gave him my # and told me to call me in end of march. i might have some work for him to do. just told him to stay out of trouble in the mean time.
I'm actually a fan of orphanage, I think properly setup, they are great. I've seen a lot of foster home kids when I was working at my dad's liquor store for some 15 years. I think kids who move around through the foster homes usually get messed up... and also, damn the liberals, they give foster kids WAY too much power now days. Kids need discipline...
hmm... well, i'm going to need a lot of good help on the foundation. better start looking soon. man i already know what my parents are going to say.... worry about myself first. hahaha.

Believe me, you have absolutely NO concept as to what it takes to keep a site like this going, with the numbers of users and amount of content that lives here.

Frank if you could please select 3-4 dates in late 2Q or 3Q 2007 I should be able to make one of them. You seem so busy, I hope you can squeeze it in. Bring the "me love you long time $5" friend as well!!
As for me, well I am busy also, but could make time for this event.

ps, f you. i help the kid out because i felt like it, not because i can come here and talk about it.

I really wonder why you come here.
The only thing you have in common with racing is that racing involves tools and you are one.

I have a company that builds large web sites for a living (Oracle-driven stuff for banks, governments, game companies, etc) and trust me when I tell you that you should stick to your racing... you're MUCH better at it than computer stuff.
And THAT is a scary thought...

TD, I once read that "Profanity is the tactic of a weak mind trying to express itself forcefully". So true here.

Ghettoe told us of his plans to maybe move to LA. It appears that he tried it out this weekend, and wasn't accepted there very well either.......

Even though he tried to use an alias, the "harassing Japanese tourists" part gave him away!

I said nothing about your intent. Your intent could be as pure as snow for all I know. I hope it is.
I pointed out to you that if you choose to engage in charitable acts, which I highly commend and urge you to do, you should take the focus off yourself, place it on the beneficiaries, and consider DOING IT ANONYMOUSLY.
In your first post in response to me, you recount a charitable act, which shows you totally missed my point.
I still think your parents are right. Somehow you cursing me is almost like a badge of honor in light of some of the things you say.
Just so that you can connect the dots, here is how it went down:

IMHO, all of the best charitable work is done as anonymously as possible. Good luck with that.
