Shameless begging
mccoy178:
Oh, Shmokes definitely deserves any response that comes his way, good or bad. He has never had a problem sharing his opinion.

which is why the thread was titled "shameless begging".
see I don't like tekken. So if a thread was called "tekken" I probably wouldn't click it.

yeah but this is EE so the title "Shamless begging" could have gone in any direction.....
I will say one good thing in shmokes favor....
At least his cardboard sign doesn't make the claim that he's a homeless veteran like some of the other bums holding their signs do.....

This is the type of thread that I would want to reference next time you take the high and mighty road to demonstrate where you lack in intelligence or responsibility. Don't get me wrong, you write some great comebacks and you must read a ton of papers with all of your references, but just by reading this thread, it shows an incredible lack of responsibility. I'm sure there will be plenty who disagree with me, but I don't think my opinion matters nearly as much as your daughters does.

I don't know. I think all things considered I'm probably above average responsible. I'm sure I could list some uninteresting qualifications. I imagine you'd just as soon I didn't.
The only thing I can think of that would suggest to you an incredible lack of responsibility on my part would be my post count. And for that I admittedly have no good excuse.

I work 40 hours a week, am a full time student, work part time in the college computer lab, have a wife and 2 kids and would never stoop low enough to beg for money for a trip for myself to go somewhere.....

Well . . . in my defense this was my entire sales pitch:
"Anyway, if you feel like helping (or even if you rather dislike me, but you want to impress someone who's watching with how charitable you are), there's a PayPal donate button on my MySpace page (where you can also see pictures of my wife and my new baby girl, Stacy and Madeline -- my top-two friends on my friends list). Any amount is more than I'm owed - I'd be grateful for a dollar."
That's the whole thing. No mention of my heavy workload. No mention of a new baby. No mention of any selfless, altruistic motives for doing the study abroad program. All of that has been defending myself in response to a seriously unwarranted negative element that sprung up almost immediately in the thread.
I'm apparently incredibly irresponsible, care only about myself and specifically not about my daughter, I ought to grow up and be a ---smurfing--- man, I'm spending money to boost my resume that should be spent on my daughter, I'm going to France to study American law (???), I lack class, I insulted everyone on the board, I'm crooked, I most likely no longer have friends here (thanks to this thread), my piorities are astounding (not in a good way if I'm reading it correctly), I periodically take the high and mighty road to demonstrate where I lack in intelligence or responsibility [sic], my daughter is apparently going to hold a low opinion of me because of this, I'm not as handsome as Zakk ;D , I'm going to be another lawyer which is, hello, lame, I am like a bum with a cardboard sign, I deserve any response that comes my way.
Good lord . . .

Do you think that would have helped? Because I am actually a homeless veteran. Did I mention that already?
