lol ok so don't kill me it's just a thought but livewire1701 kind of gives me the impression that he/she is the OP

I know how you feel, my father owes me six grand. I had to just cut my losses and tell him I couldn't help him out (if there is a) next time, since he has neglected to give me a single dollar of that money in the past three years. FYL OP. Hopefully you won't get evicted.

I know someone you could probably get $400 from... But it's all in $20 bills and the bills might have a little extra somethin'-somethin' on them from him rubbing them all over his naked self.

You have to make an effort to convey such things. In general, I have a pretty good sarcasm detector, but enough people say shit like you did in earnest and you had no indication either way... makes it difficult. Then again, there's always Poe's Law, too. Long story short, *indicate* your sarcasm somehow for more effective communication. Sorry for snapping at you like that, but this is a really sore issue for me. My family used to fall beneath the poverty line (built ourselves up pretty well since then, but social mobility takes a long-ass time or extreme luck). This didn't used to be much of an issue for me until I went to a private college with the other students having mostly come from upper-middle to upper class homes who never understood why I've never left the country or how my parents are not terrible people for not being able to afford me this or that luxury or whatnot and it eventually built up to the point where I couldn't take the bullshit any more. And, well, that brings us here. Cheerio, good sir, but please be more careful about your future communications.

your father owes you money? I would give all my money to my father and I would never ask him to return it.

FYL and your dad is a piece of crap

what a nice dad

be careful about your future communications? his comment wasn't bad it was funny and I for one got the sarcasm. Dude I've seen worse comments. Lay off....

deadbeat

Please, tell me how you were able to distinguish this from somebody sincerely saying it, or trollishly saying it, given that that happens pretty often around here in a very similar format? There simply was not enough content in 4 tokens to establish tone whatsoever, and John Gabriel's GIFT is usually in effect, despite Hanlon's Razor. Fact of the matter is, there actually are a lot of people who do honestly think that the poor deserve to be poor and that they've brought it upon themselves and that if they would just work harder they could get themselves out of being poor and yada yada. _A_lot_ of people. I think it was fair to assume against sarcasm and to advise him to make himself clearer.
