Perhaps its the new welfare system. :) BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do.

My name is Karyn, I'm really nice, and I ASKED for your help! :wtf: What on earth! I wonder if the people who supplied credit card details will find rather more than they pledged suddenly dissapearing. If she can't be trusted with her own money, what freaks of nature trusted her with theirs? :eek: Colin Davies wrote: just because the stupidity was incredible Thanks for a good laugh! :-D

Ok so that idea is now blown, can't do it again, that ship has sailed. So now someone needs to do the opposite. Don't ask nicely. Be an arsehole. Call people wankers. But still ask for money, but in a totally opposite way to sweet, nice, bimbo Karyn. Pull on some heart string like Karyn did, but in a really jerk off way. That has not been done so it will work (people are suckers for new ideas no matter how daft... inflatable dartboards worked for the first guy, made him millions, the copy cats though failed.) I would do it but John is still teaching me how to be like that ;)

You have to admire her ingenuity. I wish someone would have helped me back when I was up to my head in credit-card debt. Nope, I got to face the awful consequences on my own and if it wouldn't have been for a friend who suggested I go into consulting (for about twice the money), I would have had to file bankruptcy. I can still remember the creditors hassling me... what a nightmare! Regards, Alvaro

She took no responsibility, learnt nothing, and will be back in debt within the year, mark my words. You at least had to face it. She faced nothing but a rising PayPal account. You did not just reverse your debt, you reversed the habit inside you. Hers is still there. Anyway, just wanted to say that :)

Here, it is all too common. Shops are allowed to throw credit at people who cannot afford it. The people who do the interest free have 30% interest when the period ends, and on $1700 their monthly repayment was $52 first month ( I only paid $100 ) and $47.50 the next. Then when the time comes to pay the balance, they send you a letter offering to consolidate all your other loans, refinance this one, and lend you more. Most people don't seem to realise their credit card is at 12% and happily accept the offer to pay it off at 30%. Then they don't cut it up, and before you know it, they start a web site so other people will pay their debts ( thus bringing me back on topic :-) ) Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle.

I'm trying to do something similar, but on a much smaller scale (basically trying to get people to send me money so I can buy my housemate a bike, so he can cycle to work rather than getting me to give him lifts all the time!) Clickety[^] -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

I suppose, but it has brought the issue out into the light, yet again. Paul Watson wrote: She took no responsibility, learnt nothing, and will be back in debt within the year, mark my words. Well I sure hope not, for her sake and the sake of those who sent her money. I actually do believe she took responsibility: she found a way to get out of debt. The way I see it, there are two ways of being responsible in this case: 1. Don't get into debt in the first place -- she didn't do that one. 2. If you get into debt, find a way to pay it back. -- she did that. The irresponsible route would have been to get into debt and then just file for bankruptcy. The reason I admire her ingenuity is because she found a way to collect money (for her debts) without having to sell a damn thing. Regards, Alvaro
