ha ha ha, my sons school wants him to set up a web page then spam the shit out of all of his friends and family.......

If I wanted him spamming the shit out people id have a site set for him to promote then pocket the money.... Its for the heat association from which 45% of all conversions go toward research, if he makes $1000 in conversions he gets a brand new "knock off" razor scooter.... LOL

Sounds like it's time for you to teach your son the black arts of Myspace friend whoring.

Man, I can remember we had to do door to door magazine sales for our school's fund raiser. The kids these days are fucking spoiled!

I hear that, I remember selling boxes of candy bars, only to recieve a comic book or some shit.....

If my kid is going to be doing any spamming, he's going to pocket the money! well 50% of it anyway ......

Sorry I was wrong, its .....

35% Public Health Education (and our taxes arent enough)
23.4% Research (marketing research to devise new was to use our kids)
11.9% Professional Education
7.3% Community Service
14.6% Fund Raising
7.2% Management And General (he he he)

"These figures are for the American Heart Association and Affiliates 2004-2005" seems like the figures are a little out dated .......

2 things:

1) I'd rather have my son emailing (or me on his behalf) my family with a link to a donation page than knocking on strangers doors

2) I'd rather get an email from a nephew or friend's kid than have him in my face asking for money. It's a lot easier to ignore an email than say no to a friend's kid.

Have him run your spam sites for you, skip the stupid school program.

jerxs

I do have him working on one site every other day, he gets 20% of all revenue from it.. he's 9 now im hoping he will be the first full fledged addition to the birth of a family business ... (he's not spamming though)

Shit. In gradeschool, I remember selling candy bars door to door and getting those stupid little furry creature toys in return. Not sure what they were called, but the kid who had the most of them at the end of the contest got something stupid like $50 cash.

$500 worth of candy bars = $50 cash.

Awesome.

Whens the last time you sat down and had wooped your old mans ass at a game of Soul Calibur, or prank called some 1-800 numbers selling BS? As long as my kids respect me, mom and other people that respect them, get good grades and dont do drugs its all good.

My dad taught me Basic when I was about that age. I think I just called myself out as an 'old man' on the threads here.

That's cool though, he's at a great age to learn the value of some decent work.

Someone

I was learning BASIC at 9... i don't think old would be appropriate.

DaveEMG

Good shit. At least I know I'm not the foger of the boards here. Or maybe I am, and I'm not the only one

They didn't even have BASIC when I was 9. I had to learn RETARDED.

Oh god, i remember this crap. Yes, crap. Back when i was in 5th grade we were given this pile of junk. Some guy from an entertainment company would come to our school and literally awe us with these "cool" electronics, gadgets, and useless crap I can't believe i even wanted.

When I look back, I don't believe i learned anything from this junk. I was a fucking pawn to them.

But, not to take hte fun away from it...don't get carried away with it.
