Besides - I did add the caveat for those who can't afford to pay (which you so slyly left out when you cherry-picked).
Many welfare folks and illegals feel the same way as you do - they will take anything that's "Free" (being paid for by others) and consider it their just due. FR is that kind of "Free" - perhaps you've noticed the constant fund raisers because so few of the whole feel they should help pay for something because they can get it "Free" because others are willing to pay for it.
Go tell someone else your hard-up tales.
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate (even if he's "rich enough to do it on his own") as the next President.
I donate to the candidate I support and you should too, else, your "support" really doesn't have any meaning.
It's even worse if you use FR and don't donate. If you are one of those who feel it's OK to use FR daily w/o helping pay to keep the lights on, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit. Also, don't be surprised if others decide that your opinions are as worthless as your non-donations - hypocrites aren't worth listening to.
PS - If you are one of those unlucky few who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
I mentioned that I was one of those who couldn’t pay, I didn’t slyly leave out anything.
I wrote that 5 years ago. A lot has changed in my life since then, like a diagnosis of ARVD and I am unable to work. But then, you don’t give a damn about other people’s “hard up tales.”
Again, welfare recipients receive money taken from the working and then given to them, no one is taking money from you in order for me to be on this website. You freely donate.
Again no one is forcing Jim to offer this site for free, that’s his choice.
You claimed except for those who can’t pay, then berated me because I can’t pay, so I guess you don’t really mean it when you say it.
You can call me a freeloader all you want, but you can’t “freeload” something that is offered for free.
