This Is Why Poor People's Bad Decisions Make Perfect Sense

It seems a fair number of people bought into a fraud being perpetrated by HuffPo.

Where is the fraud? She described previously living from motel to motel and being poor now. I'm not sure how her coming from rich parents, or anything else you posted somehow makes any of that not true.

Hey Kentonio, I'm raising money for a charity. I took the liberty of signing your name up for all the deals I could find!

[kentonio]

Don't talk to me, ****.

The entire article I linked to is filled with reason why her claims are untrue.

Yet the stuff you quoted shows nothing to support your claim. I'll have to check the link out later, but so far it's a pretty total fail.

It's a 2 page article. Did you actually want me to quote the entire thing?

Hey, Kentonio got played by a fellow liberal traveller. Some people would man up and get angry at it, but Kentonio would rather kowtow. Speaks volumes.

I thought you were a conservative, Kentonio? Shouldn't you be upset when a liberal lies to you?

[Ban Kenobi]

I doubt kentonio ever gave her money or anything.

No, but logically if your article is a 'Gotcha!' it'd make sense to quote something that actually showed that.

[kentonio]

Ok, read the whole thing. The author is exactly the kind of douche I expected. The person who can't understand that you can be **** poor and struggling despite having started out with some advantages. Was the woman completely open about her background? No, as she said in that article "I would still know I'd be a cook forever and need this surgery I can't afford".

She's not **** poor. She's ****ing middle class. Don't be such a nob. She played the heartstrings of a bunch of idiots like yourself for thousands of dollars with a false story of her life.

[Ben Kenobi]

He's a conservative, DinoDoc. He can't be expected to have good judgment.

[kentonio]

She's not **** poor. She's ****ing middle class. Don't be such a nob. She played the heartstrings of a bunch of idiots like yourself for thousands of dollars with a false story of her life.

yeah, because people from middle class backgrounds can never end up in poverty. ****ing idiot.

[DinoDoc]

She's not in poverty, ken. What part of this is hard to understand?

If you can be poor and struggling despite starting out with advantages, then surely you can be rich and successful despite starting out without them right?
