wfram1977 - I find lots of humor in this whole thread and the fact that we as a nation are experiencing the worst financial crisis since the great depression, but I should pull money out of my struggling bank account to help a fighter that got hurt in a fight.
Ok, a fighter who got hurt in a fight? See were I am going.
If you're struggling that bad then politely decline. There is no humor involved. You aren't being lined up at gunpoint and told that you have to donate anything. My business has been hurting from all of this, but a few bucks isn't going to change my lifestyle one iota, so I threw it in the pot and I feel good about being able to do so because I like Corey Hill and I sympathize with what I saw happen to him while fighting to help raise money for the troops.
Your attitude is, "Everyone is struggling so it's best not to help anybody. Every man for himself". That's not a good attitude. Why stain what was a magnanimous effort by Frank Trigg to raise a few bucks for a guy in need by coming on the thread and shitting on it? What do you get out of doing that? Just ignore the thread and go jerk off to some Romoshop pictures. Then go to Dennys and stiff the grossly underpaid waitress of a tip because we are going through a financial crisis while you're at it.
