Poverty advocates: a special request

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Here we have a DUer without financial means attempting to point out a serious issue regarding the content of ads on DU, only to be repeatedly told to buy a star in order to avoid seeing the ads. This continues even after the DUer explains that doing so would be financially impossible.

Let's see if there's any way we can get this DUer a star, if for no other reason to compensate them for what poor people often have to go through here on DU, which ought to be (and all too often isn't) a sanctuary for people in economic distress. I'd do it myself, but my situation is identical, as most here know.

And, while we're at it, let's also support the OP in urging management to do whatever is necessary to keep right-wing teabagger ads off DU.

2. I'd help, but am revelling in the finacial strain of the times as well with 2 grossly underemployed adults in the house supporting a college student and two cats.

Kicking, so someone sees this that can help out. People have gifted me, and when I have money I gift others back. Thanks!

PS: You might want to post this in other forums (if you can) that get more traffic. I've seen people in GD offering stars, I'd start there. Good luck!

3. I may be a bit late in responding to your post because I'm still a newbie.

I'll be happy to donate a star. I'm so very fortunate in having a secure job and whatever comes with it. It breaks my heart (read: it pisses me the **** off) to see posts saying "You didn't donate".

*How* should some of our DU brothers and sisters be able to donate when they only have the choice of either paying for meals / bills or buying a DU star? If we get going along these lines here on DU... that is sad. Very sad.

The dummy could use firefox which is free and use the free ad blocker thingy. I use that and don't see any ads on any of these forums.
But that would take a tiny bit of effort.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Does anyone see the irony in Skinner selling ad space for "R/W teabagger" ads to extort more money from the DUmmies for "stars" so that they don't have to view the ads........pure capitalistic genius.....

I actually think it's quite deliberate.  After all, Coach has assured us that Skinner is a capitalist at heart, and Skinner has proven him right time after time. :tongue: to the lurkers from the DUmp
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Skimmer doesn't want riffraff who can't come up with ten bucks. He wants the riffraff who can.

The thing about not being a donor is that you can't post to some of the sub-forums such as the jobs forum. How are they ever going to be able to afford their own stars if Skimmer doesn't let them into the jobs forum?
