Oh yeah, we have our own internets in Finland where nobody else goes.

Oh wait...

Originally posted by Krypton I've had a nice look at Carlos Slim. A huge portion of his assets are in Mexican telecommunications of which his company basically dominates the Mexican market. With the huge returns coming out of developing markets like Mexico, his share of stock has given him billions in capital gains. Stocks really do make billionaires.

He has plenty of investments in telecoms around Latin America too. He bought the major provider in my country from Verizon at the start of this year. The guys is expanding his business pretty aggressively. I have to say though, he has a hell of marketing staff.

edit: Also this is old news, he was declared richest man on earth months ago.

Yeah, becus we all no that teh intarnet is teh best place 2 look if u want to learn betta english.

Besides, four hours a day on the internet typing doesn't make up for speaking English twelve hours a day.

and he owns CompUSA. He walked into our store and bought all our Playstation 3s on our initial shipment day.
He said "Hola, como stas?" to me, and I said "hello. I'm fine."

That's awesome.

Why was he buying all the PS3s?

Ah yes, because I'm an ignorant finn (and a nerd, obviously, that would had been your next low blow anyway) I only use english to type on the internet. Surely there is no possibility whatsoever to have a job where I would be required to speak English every single day.

Keep fighting the good fight, lad. I'm going to bed.

I don't know. A lot of their higher executive people came into the store to buy two things: Game systems or cell phone pouches.

'could care less. couldn't care less.' my heads 'bout to blow up.

Surely there is no possibility whatsoever that you could rationally accept that someone who lives in an English speaking country, surrounded by millions of other English speakers, and speaking the language since the age of three, is going to be more well versed on English sayings and/or colloquialisms, and the English language in general, than someone who lives in a country where English is NOT the primary language, has not spoken it their whole life, and is not exposed to a large number of English speakers, all from different areas and dialects, daily?

I didn't think so.

Who am I kidding, I like pointless argument and unnecessary controversy just as much as you; I think I've made that perfectly clear since I arrived here in January.

However the phrase is "could not care less", and always has been.

p.s I wouldn't call you a nerd because I'm not into cheap name-calling or low blows unless the person is a complete moron (which I do not consider you to be) and deserves it. The fact that you're Finnish wasn't meant to be an insult either; merely pointing out the fact that English is not your "natural" language.

you can say:

i could care less...

or

couldn't care less...

doesnt really follow proper grammar rules, but what spoken english does?

i prefer the second|

They're both complete opposites though...

i couldn't care less

http://incompetech.com/gallimaufry/care_less.html

could or couldn't have touched more nerves than alot of things in the cor recently.

In regards to the whole could/couldn't care less saga.

While it doesn't really matter for this topic I feel compelled to back Beat Blog up that the correct phrase to demonstrate somebody who doesn't care is "couldn't care less"

As in "I care so little that I couldn't possibly care any less."

If I could care less then that would suggest that I do care to some degree...

Do you care that I care that people couldn't care less whether they care that they could care or could not care whether they care not less or not?

Yeah, if you care. If you don't it's plain wrong.

Uh, right. And here I was thinking you were actually a sensible person.

Originally posted by Igaryok This guy is a major piece of shit. As a matter of fact he criticized Gates and Buffet for giving to charity, by saying that whatever you make you should keep for yourself. So i'm sure if Gates had the same mentality he'd be worth around $100 billion right now.

So? If that's his value system, how is it wrong?
