VETERAN OF KOREAN WAR, LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR 22 . I AM $ 15000.00 IN DEPT AND WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR IT UP BEFORE I PASS OVER. I COULD SEND "ROBIN HOOD" $ 100.00 TO GAMBLE FOR ME AND HE CAN TAKE ANY AMOUNT OVER 15000.00 FOR SOMEONE ELSE. I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF DEPT WHICH I HAVE BEEN IN ALL MY LIFE. JUST A FEW YEARS OF NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE INCOMING BILLS. I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER BENEFITS THAT HE WOULD OFFER. I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF DEPT. I AM 80 YRS OLD.

Oh well, I am sure there is a family out there who has a video camera that is worse off than me. My debt could likely be paid off with what he is wagering...never mind his winnings!

I always assumed that whatever I walked in with was lost to the Casino... and it usually was. On that particular night, I left with $285. I put $200 back in the bank, and kept my promise with God and gave $85 to the church. I have not gone back since :-) One time, I went to the Casino with $200 and promised God that if I could just leave with what I went inside with ($200), I would give whatever I made over that amount to the church the following Sunday.

Take some poor family who probably don't know how to earn much of a living on their own and swoop in and "rescue" them. That'll teach the children a lesson about how to THINK the world works. How about using his forum to send the parents to skill training classes, money management counseling, etc? I hope he picks someone who is in financial straights because of something truly out of their control, not just foolishness or overspending. Take a look at that family near Atlanta who recently filed bankruptcy after ABC's Home Makeover "rescued" them. Paying off someone's bills for them doesn't teach them a thing except that maybe it'll happen again someday- just like gambling. Wow, what an idea.

I use to go to the riverboat casinos and play slots and alot of the times I was hoping to win so I could help my grown kids out with things like: tires for their car, or help with repairs and alot of the times when I was playing for these reasons and not my own gain I would win! One time I won enough to help a friend get his teeth pulled and get new dentures. He never fails to tell me how much it meant to him that I did that for him. Its a great feeling to give when its not expected or asked for. I think this is a great idea!

The Robin Hood from England actually _stole_ from the rich, notably King John, and gave to the poor. Calling someone Modern day Robin Hood can actually be taken as an insult, because 702 is actually _winning_ not stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Vast multitudes of Americans give to the poor with their earned money, and singling out one person as The Provider to the Poor is also an insult to other charitable Americans.
