These people believe $30 to be a lot of money.

Having 2 jobs, I'm starting to realize how LITTLE $30 really is.

Not little enough to hand out like candy, but yeah.

30 dollars may be small compared to say, a billion dollars, which some people have.

However, 30 dollars, is a lot bigger than 30 pennies, which is the maximum price I would pay to upload a GIF to the internet.

Even then, I would probably only give 30 pennies to somebody I really liked, like my Dad, my brother, or my best friend. Realistically, I would not have spared more than a dime on :xbone:

Would you choose destruction or creation, though? It's a delicate philosophical and moral dilemma

Except if the poster in question didn't have a reputation in the first place, you'd essentially be creating one with your attempted act of destruction. :2bong:

I would assume that someone named Marc is a butt, and an associate or enemy of his paid 30 bucks to immortalize this.

In Laissez's Faire in 2008 with "BULLETS CURE ISLAM". Goons in Platoons loved that style and there's a number of their members with similar names. Best riff on it in my opinion is SALT CURES HAM.
