Thanks for reminding me of folks for whom English isn't their native language (and there are many here).
For those of you who didn't grow up speaking English all your lives, a "double-negative" results in a positive. Thus, if someone were to say, "I don't never do that," what they're really saying is, "I always do that," and in like manner, when someone says, "I don't owe you nothing," they're really saying, "I owe something to you."
