 Hybrid Level: 2 | Didn't watch them all but what I did watch was very interesting. The one raised a very good point. When you're begging on the internet then turn and threaten to sue someone for calling you on it, you open yourself up to scrutiny from all sorts of government agencies. Like the IRS among others. This all reminds me of the days when people would post their hardship classified ads in newspapers and magazines asking for people to send just $1.00. I always wondered how much they raked in. I also wonder how some of these people can live with themselves. | |||||

 I shoot you dead. Level: 9 CS Original | ^Because they just don't care. I really think some of these people just don't know, or don't want, to make something of themselves. Sometimes people are just down on their luck, but some just are too lazy to better themselves so they resort to e-begging. | |||||

Hybrid Level: 2 | Down on their luck is one thing. But I don't see that in these people. Electronics, games, road trips? They should be ashamed of themselves. The awful thing is that they're not. | |||||
