Facepunch, I am going through some harsh times, and I could use your help. - General

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;25671737]It's fun to poke holes in his story anyways[/QUOTE] Its obvious now.. i thought it was the real deal on the 1st page.

[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;25671777]Its obvious now.. i thought it was the real deal on the 1st page.[/QUOTE] You're dumb, then. The story was obviously fake from the start.

[QUOTE=Epic Lul;25670936]I understand that it might not seem like my life is that diffucult, especially compared to some of the stuff that other people have gone through. I understand some people have more diffucult problems to face then I do, but I was just hoping that somone was willing to help me out and I know that getting a job would be the best solution but if you havent noticed getting a job in this economy is diffucult as fuck especially considering where I live the minimum wage is 10.25 an hour so people are much more tentative about hiring. I am trying my best to raise the money that I need, it isnt like I have just been saving money my parents give me or some shit. I was just hoping that somone would be willing to provide me a bit of help. I do work to get money, you guys understand that right? Recently there has been less odd jobs that I can do or I have been doing them for free for family friends (computer repair, manual labour, bit of tutoring etc). Do you guys honestly think I would ask for money without working for it at all? oh also im blind in one eye and have had two surgeries in the past two years. also my mom has a seizure disorder and has the possibility of a brain bleed. but really I dont want to keep throwing my problems at you guys to try and get sympathy, just understand that my life is a bit more diffucult then what my writing suggests.[/QUOTE] Sounds like everyone around you has problems and you want a PC.

Perfumly is here to save the day

Can't we just rename General Discussion to Blogpunch? That's all it's ever used for now, despite the big Blog button up the top.

[QUOTE=Perfumly;25671817]Sounds like everyone around you has problems and you want a PC.[/QUOTE] He is selfish Perfumly. Ignore him.

Uh This is real you guys, honest. I can go scan a bank statement of mine from a few months back hat shows I have $465 in the bank. Or you know you could ask my RL friends that are on FP. I am seriously not trolling. This is legitimate. Also perfumely I would agree with you with the exception that I have some problems of my own but they are less signifigant than you know, my whole family being in debt and all.

As someone who is poor and going through tough times. I can definitely say you're full of shit. I saved up $380 dollars, 3 years of saving all my money, and you know what I did? I gave it to my mother to support our family. If you were really "in harsh times" if you were really "in need of money" Your concern would be your family, and survival. Not a fucking computer. Get out of here, you disgust me. You're the exact reason why poor people are looked down upon. I gave away all my fucking money to help support my family, and here you are in "harsh times" thinking about your little computer and yourself first. You are pathetic.

This guy seems a complete selfish asshole who doesn't deserve anyones help.

Computer wont be of much use when your mom cant pay the cable bills.

[QUOTE=Monty Pie-thon;25671879]This guy seems a complete selfish asshole who doesn't deserve anyones help.[/QUOTE] He doesn't wanna help his folks in this time of crisis. Instead he wants to waste it all on a computer. He is trolling. He justs wants a new computer cause his mum and dad said no to him.

Troll or not, my point still stands.

[QUOTE=Perfumly;25671939]Even if what he typed is 100% true he's still not really going through "harsh times"[/QUOTE] I know. But still, I smell bullshit in that story.

You remind me of my brother who used to create fake stories in order to make people donate to him.

That and you know I have offered my mom money, but she declines. I really dont see the point in arguing this anymore, bobbyhill if you want to continue to discuss this with me for some strange reason PM me.

Mom declining money in time of need. Bullshit. Absolute Bullshit

I see no reason why people would donate money to you for your own selfish benefits, i'm glad Facepunch is full of sceptics and moderately smart people i'd hate to see people donate money to assholes!

[QUOTE=Epic Lul;25672009]That and you know I have offered my mom money, but she declines. I really dont see the point in arguing this anymore, bobbyhill if you want to continue to discuss this with me for some strange reason PM me.[/QUOTE] But, you already said you give money to your Mom. Also if she lost her house I don't give a fuck if she declines you're gonna give it to her anyways.

[QUOTE=BobbyHill;25672056]THERE. Right motherfucking there. Mom declining money in time of need. Bullshit. Absolute Bullshit[/QUOTE] And my mother declines money in time of need because she feels a lot of guilt from benefiting from her kids.

Oh god it seems Bobby was right. Also, why can't it be discussed here?

Decline my ass. You give it to her. SUPPORT HER. She raised you. So this would be a nice thank you to her

It isnt bullshit guys. I am sorry for wasting all of your time, I understand the frustration I might have caused all of you. That and bobbyhill you do understand that most parents, even if they are in a time of need will deny money from their children so as not to be ashamed. I am sorry if I came off a selfish, but every time I offer money to my mom to try and help her out she says "It is my money and I should use it on something I enjoy". You have to understand, I worry as much about my family's financial standing as my mother does, and she hates to see me under stress. If a mod could please close this thread it would be much appreciated, as I have nothing further to add to this matter. [B]I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GIVE HER MONEY, SHE WONT TAKE IT! I UNDERSTAND YOU GUYS THINK THIS IS WIERD BUT IT IS TRUE![/B]

[QUOTE=phobia-_-;25670429]Pretty sure you can wait for a new computer, not like you need it[/QUOTE] This. I was stuck with a PII PC until 2007, and if I can make it, so can you.

I was hoping i would support her. I denied games and toys just to save enough to help her. You are pathetic.

So you come up with an OP that makes you sound like a douche, complaining about your average, somewhat middle class life, then when people complain you add more details to the OP about your mom's supposed disease and your grandmother's broken hip (did you really need to tell us that) just to get us to help you [I]NOW?[/I] Goddamn, you better be trolling, boy.

Well if you have $120 then you can buy a decent pc off of dell.

For Christ's sake, I just came up with that off the top of my head, and it'd probably flatter her. You're a terrible son.
