    1. She did not ask for money - someone asked on her behalf.

    2. I have been in contact with her since her partner died - I am not gulleble I got her into a place where the correct support could be offered for what she was going through.

    3. Those two points above - show that you have no farking idea at all ... but I am please you seem to know your ignorance is there.

    I agree with a lot of your points - not the ones in this thread - the way you make your points - you arsehole manner "god like I am right manner" - those are just side effects of your closeminded shortsightedness.

    Mixed in with a bit of Personality Disorder (that's why Katman loves the PD thread, makes him feel at home), most a likely. But then none of us are perfect (despite what some of us believe). We are a very diverse Species.

    Someone tell the westpac crew they should'nt be asking for donations.

    Yup! Considering the majority of those rescued have probably never given a cent!

    I have no problem with people asking for help. You can choose whether to help or not, and do'nt need to be-little them and make a whole thread dedicated to their further destruction.

    Sometimes karma works far too slowly.

    Karma doesn't work at all, it's superstitious bullshit

    Why, we have ourselves, asked for money/support when Zac was fundraising to go to Belgium, some gave, some didn't.
    I remember back when fund-raising involved people getting off their arse and doing something for the money they received. Collecting bottles, chopping firewood, washing cars..............

    My, how times have changed.
