We all know that God helps them who help themselves, do we not, Stan needed help, asked for it, plain and simple, persecute him, ridicule him, whatever, he asked and we answered, rather negative or in a giving manner... it shows the STUFF we are made of. I for one, would help ANY member of this if the need be.

Let's not try to skin this issue. We know the underside! The point is... Let's help a fellow AMERICAN in need! We are all on the front line here. We all have a hard time, or at least I do, being single and female, makings ends meet from time to time. One day I may, or YOU may have to ask for assistance.. and would it not be great if you felt you could ask you FRIENDS her for that help.

We are all Gods children, lets learn to help one another without judgment!

I guess now I am the next one to hate instead of 07 but Deb please re-read my post. The point has nothing to do with Stan as a person or a person in need, and most certainly not judging.

Note that I said lets help him, however help can be in many ways. I am also confused as to how your being from the South helps matters. This does nothing more than infer that you are somehow more gracious that someone from the North. Whether someone is from the North or South has nothing to do with their commitment to their brothers or mankind, neither does that mean that they are more or less generous. I do not in the slightest need to speak about my generosity to win you over or prove how good or bad of a person I am. My posts are simply based on a few key principles here.

If the forum is a place that people in need can ask for money when they are down, we open a small pandoras box. You speak of helping people; I can surely direct you to a few people in need that are far worse off than Stan and of no fault on their own. They would love to have a car let alone a sports car. Now is no reflection on Stan but rather on the principle that I mentioned in using the forum for this.

Lets help Stan, but let’s do it right. That is the point! It is not about skinning the issue, its about doing what will help Stan the best way. You guys sending Stan 5, 10 50 bucks will help but, don’t you think that if I owned a company that could help Stan get re-employed would really benefit him? That is another way as well that can help.

I want someone that has the reputation here (forum admin or moderator) to take a lead on doing something like this for a member that we know. Who knows tomorrow someone may make us a story and start a fund on here for my new wheels! Would that help the next person in trouble or just make the rest of the forum members mad?

This needs to be done the right way and actually help and not hinder the benefits for Stan and other members who may also be in need!

I do hope that you understand that my post as a 6 month member is to make our forum work best for all members, but hopefully my comments can be taken correctly. If you are in doubt just re-read my post and understand my true position and also PLEASE Know Deb that I am not poking you in the eye but want you to see the bigger issues here.

Thanks
