Of course, I'm not under suspision for murder, but I could use a few thousand extra bucks...
Could you give Drew a few bucks?

I hope that the site costs more than he receives.gsabc wrote:"Drew Peterson says a Web site established to raise money for his legal defense will be a test of the American people's generosity."
More like one of their credulity. Like we say in the quality business, once is an accident, twice is a trend.
Stranger things have happened. There was a story a couple years ago about people begging for money online and getting it. So Peterson may do the same thing.gsabc wrote:"Drew Peterson says a Web site established to raise money for his legal defense will be a test of the American people's generosity."

If people can still fall for those e-mail scams and send off their money hoping to get millions, I can believe nearly anything about the credulity of the general populace.earendel wrote:Stranger things have happened.

How'd that work out for them?kayrharris wrote:One of the morning shows last week (I forget which one) had a story about an ad placed in a NYC newspaper by a couple asking for donations so they could buy a million dollar upper west side apartment they couldn't afford.
I think they were more or less asking for one or two really rich people to just give it to them, rather than have the money trickle in a little at a time.
Thanks, uly - I was trying to remember that quote.ulysses5019 wrote:"No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."

Keeping track of those little $5 and $10 donations can be so tedious!kayrharris wrote: I think they were more or less asking for one or two really rich people to just give it to them, rather than have the money trickle in a little at a time.
Even if I was, am I not lovable enough (on this bored) where people might overlook some minor flaws?minimetoo26 wrote:Because you're not a sociopathic scuzzbucket?

Let's think about this another way...if you knew someone only from what they post online, and you find out they've got a web site where they're groveling for money, would you give them something?minimetoo26 wrote:Minor flaws like killing off your wife?

I'd probably give them grief. That's what I'm famous for!Rexer25 wrote: Let's think about this another way...if you knew someone only from what they post online, and you find out they've got a web site where they're groveling for money, would you give them something?
Sorry, lb, I can't help you either. I promised my mom one of mine if her remaining one goes out...minimetoo26 wrote:I'd probably give them grief.

Real answer: I dunno. Depends on too many factors. Right now, I'm saving up for the kidney transplant I know beast is going to need if he doesn't knock it off with the Pepsi addiction....
(J/K, beast. You lose your kidneys, you're on your own!)
My husband lost one when he was 8. He has to take care of the remaining one. Luckily, he has 4 siblings in case anything goes wrong...Rexer25 wrote:Sorry, lb, I can't help you either.
