BTW, I'm a MS. not a MR. My parents taught me the importance of helping out your fellow man when they need it. When 9/11 happened, I gave blood. I am on the Red Cross Disaster Team in the event that something catastrophic happened here in Florida such as a hurricane or some other type of natural or manmade disaster. I give my time to people I do and don't know, not because I want to look good, but because that's what being an American is about.

So keep on posting your self-righteous posts, and I hope you enjoy your life. As far as I can see, they only thing you enjoy is insulting people and kicking them when they're down. We already have enough people like that in this country, I choose NOT to be one of them.

And if you are ever in a world of hurt, get hit by a flood, your house burns down or something catastrophic happens where you live or work, just remember that the people that come out to help you do it out of the goodness of their hearts.

And that's what this is all about...it's about people who had devastating flooding, and all AOL/Time Warner cares about is getting their money back. As if they don't have enough problems, now they make a major goof in their PR department. Over something that they could easily eat and it wouldn't even make a dent in their profits.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm done with this thread, I'm done posting to your insulting replies. Go feed off someone else's misery.

Well you got something right anyway. You finally aknowledged that TWC has a legitimated claim to the money. While I think this is a sucky PR move I'm really not sure what else a company that's losing money hand over fist and being investigated by the SEC is supposed to do. While writing off the money might be best from a moral standpoint we also have to consider what happens if they go under, or at least do major layoffs; and how much does this money actually effect the bottom line. As they say, the business of business is business, if they were in this to feel good about themselves they'd have started a charity not a business.

LOL, you pat yourself on the back, then call another self-righteous. That was golden.

I'm not interested in kicking anyone. I'm just saying that people should uphold their obligations.

The amount of emotionality on this thread is enough to make even a lefty puke.

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOUR OBLIGATIONS ARE ABSOLVED.

LAST NOVEMBER, I WAS HIT WITH $11k IN MEDICAL BILLS, AND I HAD NO HEALTH INSURANCE. I AM PAYING THEM BACK, AND I DIDN'T WHINE OR MAKE EXCUSES.
