I've tried explaining to them how I would like them to give me craft beer for free but my pleas invariably fall on deaf ears. It's a very sad commentary on the world we live in today.

Check the URL. How thoughtless and rude. We're supposed to be Democrats here, not rightwingers who ridicule the poor. No one appointed you the judge to weigh someone else's plight and decide what meets your approval. If you don't feel inclined to give someone a hand, then just shut up and move on. Posts like this are very hurtful, and they drag down everyone by taunting those who are impoverished or have insurmountable problems -- for any reason! -- and might need to ask for help.

Delete this whole topic.

I've seen nothing to recommend your personal viewpoints as a valid source of information. The backstory might filter the current plea for you, OK, but just call me a bleedin' heart liberal, I can afford to part with a couple of bucks without getting an ulcer worrying about how it's spent.

Nevertheless, what does it say about everyone of you lot in this thread who ganged up on someone who probably is in need of more competent help than will be found here. Compassion costs nothing, but even that humanitarian response seems beyond the means of those who are gleefully piling on the kind of intentional and deliberate cruelty I woun't normally expect to find in DU.

...that's what you and what we get! You get right-wing attitudes! And now we're required, if we're to fall into line with the new sheriffs of the right-wing Democratic Party, then this is how we treat common con artists, WITHOUT compassion!

I was getting really, really close to deciphering his random thoughts. Nothing made much sense, but I'm convinced I was getting close, and there just might have been some there there.

...against my account....

....constant email spam....

....phone calls from Nigeria.....

....and the only time in my life I was threatened with collections, was when I received a bottle of 'enhancement pills' that were fraudulently billed to me.

I would not join in the ridicule, but people are understandably tired of all the bullshit going on out there.

If the post (about needing money for the tooth) is legit, I apologize to the OP.

If not (more likely) the ribbing is harmless.

I've enough connections on social media that I could probably make it happen.

I'm going to have to find a Friday, Saturday, Sunday home stand, a nice hotel nearby, money for nachos, beer, and souvenirs... I figure $3,000 would work.

I'll be sure to post a link. If you want to fly in for the games give me a total $ needed and I'll add it to the mix.

But taking advantage of good-hearted people and bringing your dog into it for sympathy really ticks me off.

I cannot afford to send you cash, but I will force myself to drink at least one or 2 beers in solidarity
