I'm presuming that the answer will be a 'yes' from everyone. What always strikes me is that no matter the amount it's always spectacularly nasty, so much so that it's generally hard not to conclude that Paul was essentially correct about that matter.

No, but only because I've always seen it happening indoors instead.

Ah. Given that this is an Al post, the interpretation comes as no surprise, but I think when people argue nastily over small amounts of money it's because they perceive their honor is at stake.

Ah rowing as in fighting.  I was wondering what being in a boat in a flooded avenue had to do with money.  I'd never seen row, in the sense of a fight, being used as a verb before, only as a noun.

I've never seen 2 people physically fight in the street over money before, no.  I'm not even sure I remember the last time I saw adults fight....it's been a long time.  Just doesn't happen all that much in non-crazy parts of the world.

Well, Mr Juncker talks like a cheated husband or an angry lover. It must be the cupiditas messing things up.
