My mother, a die hard conservative needs a bit of help

[Bad Dog]

Dearest Kevin, It appears you are (as we say in Texas) pumping a dry hole here.  Might I suggest you proceed to Democratick Underground with your pitiful plea.  Just change a few details ie: Mom's politics and such and you will receive a bounty of healing white light in no time. 

[Eupher]

No, I'm not going to put personal info out on the web..... especially when I've already had one awesome person here threaten to spam my facebook with rudeness and false facts. What else would be done by skeptical people with wrong ideas if given my actual personal conatct info?

I love this part tho:  "You are trying to use an emotional appeal to ask strangers for money, money you haven't earned.  That is called 'begging'. It's the same thing panhandlers do" You know who else does this? Politicians. hmmmmmm. So are all your favorite political figures just a bunch of beggars too?

I mean..... like what the hell? Conducting myself as a proud veteran of the 82nd?? I'd like to think that I'm conducting myself as a son who cares greatly for his mother and is willing to seek help from strangers to accomplish what he cannot by himself.

Your alleged military service plays no part in you standing there on the cyber-street corner like a whore with your skirt raised.

Go fix your mother's plumbing problem yourself -- that is, if you can figure out which end of the wrench to use.

[Kevin Hale]

Not a problem, ****tard. I have no problem telling you you're a lazy asshole with his hand out expecting somebody to fill it.

Now what, chump?

Ball's in your court.

More to the point, Big Dog said it much nicer than I did. And that's a mark of his graciousness.

I'm not nearly as gracious as he is, especially when I see an asshole on a conservative political forum with his hand out.

Did you enjoy that pineapple, asshat? Was it good for you? 

I hope you find the fulfillment you seek to make yourself feel better by trashing others and being so foul in a public forum. Ooohhh big guy over here. Yup, you sir are awesome and I cannot compete with you. Keep trolling, seeing as how you've nothing nice or constructive to say and I'm not here to wage an internet badass contest.... this shall be my last reply to you. 

Good day, Sir.

Thanks for the advice, but I think I'll stray away from any public forums that are political in nature. Even if do share the same views and aspects of the party the site may be constructed towards.

You want us to compare you to a politician. Politicians are beggars and whores. Do you really want us to think of you as a beggar and a whore?

Men don't beg. It's sad that a total stranger had to teach you that lesson.

You're losing points fast, son. You may want to fold up the tent on your traveling show and ride off into the sunset. Nobody here will donate money to you after your last few posts.

I hear yhe Democrat Underground is big on this kind of thing. At least they'll promise you some healing white light.

This is not about me, chump. This is all about YOU. You and your hand out. You speak of trolling, but it's you who is trolling. You're trolling for money.

You don't see that? Oh, sorry, silly me. I forgot you're not speaking to me. 

Take you and your skirts and do what has been suggested -- head over to DU where you can change your story and your mother's political affiliation (better dump the 82nd Airborne bit too, while you're at it) and post your hard luck story over there.

Nobody's buying your shit over here.

[Big Dog]

Well... bye.

I could understand all the downing and bashing for "begging" if it were for my own personal gain. But it's not. I'm not here saying "I" want your money to better myself or because I'm a lazy layabout. I found the gofundme site and it seemed like a good way to raise money to help better my mother's living situation. I still don't consider this begging, merely a one time ask. If you'll notice, all my posts after my initial were in no way still asking for anything or trying to continually convince others to help. The beggar label may be appropriate if every other post of mine was like "hey c'mon guys... please and pretty please", but it was not.

Even though I came here with good intentions and for a good cause, I can see this was a failed attempt. it's a bit disheartening but oh well.

I know what you're saying. Every panhandler has a sad story about a sick mother, broken-down car, or dog who needs a sex change operation. There's no way to verify your story, so you shouldn't be surprised that we are skeptical. Your behavior here has also damaged any trust generous people may be willing to extend to you-

and I'm not a generous person. I expect a man to earn it, not beg for it- no matter how good his story is.

8 years total at Fortress Bragg? Why did you change battalions?

My son is there now, working over on smokebomb hill. What was your mos?

What was your jumpschool class number? Who were the guys just to the south in the turtleshells?

Well Kevin,  You know what they say about good intentions.  By the way, was your name Steve in another life?

I was an 11B. As for jumpschool, I have no clue. That was over a decade ago and the class number isn't something very significant. I didn't change battalions, the Army did when they restructured everything to become all in one brigade combat teams. The 3/504 became the 1/508 and was added as a part of the 4th BCT. I've never heard the term "turtleshells" used while I was there, but I was also at the far end near Pike field. The closest I got to smoke bomb hill was going to the 24hr PX.

You waltzed in here under the pretense of "I am a conservative,help my mom".
This is normal to you?

Instead of trying to clarify all you do is troll,now you have a bad back.
Your entire screed reads exactly like a DUmp thread.

Fail.

No. I walked in here under the pretense that I could reach more people, people that I thought my mom & I shared common interests with and possibly could help the cause I am working towards. People keep saying or wanting to assume this is all about me, but it's not.

Please tell me what it is I'm not clarifying for you, and I'll get right on that.

I get it.

You're saying, 'gimme money. It's for my mom, trust me.'

How's that working out for you?

*Edited to add: you used the word 'pretense'.   Paging Dr. Freud...

Piss off asswipe,even though I am a civilian I can tell you don`t have an ounce of respect or humility that a conservative and 8 year veteran would possess when introducing themselves to others.
You act like an arrogant,snot nosed 25 year old,which is exactly what your pic on the gimme website looks like. 

[Mr Mannn]

Well, it looks like your mom will die because her son is too lazy to roll up his shirt sleeves and help her out for a few weekends.

Looks like you will have to fund your Disney vacation some other way.

25 year old? oh that's very kind of you. Try adding about 10 years to that and you'll be a bit closer, you presumptuous piss ant. Funny you should say anything about the way I introduce myself when I was more than respectful in a reply that you come back to calling me an asswipe. I can tell that your maturity level must be off the charts, lucky you.

I have abandoned all hopes of anything positive coming from this, like I said earlier.... it was a failed attempt. So c'mon, bust out the third degree and scrutiny for whatever you want. No matter what answers I provide or details I may disclose, this will not change anything to the position I'd like so what's it matter?

So bring it on, muchachos.

(Oh shit, now I'm probably gonna be labeled as some sorta illegal alien for using that word, huh? what's next guys?)

Good catch....I went over to look & he already got rid of the evidence.

Sucks to be busted doesn`t it.

Dan(iel) Burris is me. What of it?

Sucks to be busted doesn`t it. 

And what exactly am I busted on, smart guy?

[Mr Mannn]

And what exactly am I busted on, smart guy?

being a leech. A real man wouldn't beg, he would take out a loan or get a 2nd job to help his mom. But not you, cause you're not a man.

and for the record, no one is falling for your tale of woe.

I've already explained part of this, but as for her moving in with me... It wouldn't work seeing as I live in a 700sq ft one bedroom apartment

  Now, Kevin.  If you *really* wanted Mom to move in to get out of the mold and disrepair, you would give her the bedroom and you would sleep on the couch.

Surely she has sacrificed for you a time or two (recall that you mentioned that in your original begging screed).  It's time to repay the debt.
