lol, I can't tell if you're joking or not.

Some people were seriously feeling bad for this guy. Granted, I feel bad he lost his sponsor and everything but there are homeless people/rape victims/battered families out there that need money. Some people would rather give their money to fly some kid to a video game tournament than help the needy?

Yes, I was joking. Who would ever give someone money that just comes out of the blue. I hate it when people call or ask for donations. I give to the charities I find worthy.

Yep, please add one more vote in favor of banning cyber-begging on AT.

Looking for jobs type networking is cool, but let's stop the begging.

Here's another beg for $ thread that's begging to be LOCKED.

As mentioned, please make this a vacation-worthy offense.

People need to take responsibility for their situations, pure and simple: If you get yourself into debt, then you get yourself out of it. :disgust:

I can give you a loan of 50 cents. It comes with a great interest rate of 15% that is calculated by hourly. On every other day of the full moon.

I can, but I won't. How 'bout some case screws instead?
