Originally posted by StereoPrincess lol. what's the big deal. from what i understand. they are a couple that have a kid. their kid got sick. they found out that the kid needs special care. they know their kitchen is inadequate. they plan to renovate their kitchen. they have some money saved up. ooooops. not all the treatment costs are covered. their savings disappear. they don't have money now to fix kitchen so they enter a contest. no need to always be skeptical nellies and putting people down. just fucking vote. why does everything with you people have to be difficult. you don't even need to sign in for fuck sakes.

And this is why I love you, even if you post terrible pics of me lol

Originally posted by StereoPrincess lol. quit focusing on one fucking word. obviously not every damn person has a nursing degree. and has to know the difference. in the regular world, sterile does mean clean.

One doesn't need a nursing degree to know when people are manipulating a situation to benefit themselves. Which is exactly what's going on here.

I will give them credit for appealing to so many people's emotions though. Going for the lowest common denominator is always a sure bet.

Originally posted by ChemEnhanced this isn't meant to be mean but the sick child thing will get a lot of votes....they don't need a sterile or new kitchen because their child is sick. They wanted a new kitchen but had to spend money on medical bills and now they can't afford a new kitchen.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at earlier, was trying to be subtle (ha).

Really I don't think it's a big deal that they asked their friends to vote and collect votes because they lost their savings on account of some high medical bills (re: Margs' comment). But on the other hand, it's kind of low for them to be insinuating that this is for their sick kid, when it's actually for them. If they'd been honest about it and hadn't gone into the whole sob story, I might have tossed in a vote or two.

The difference between a genuine medical need and a financial need due to unforeseen medical expenses might be finespun, but it's pretty important.

Yeah but I do it for the lulz. It's not like I'm asking for handouts under the guise of...well, anything.

Why are you guys even debating this? Just show your support to Rachel by voting. Its a for a good cause. I don't even know her and I am showing support because it's the right thing to do. I don't think any of us are in the position to pass judgment on this situation.

I was going to get a new garage but I had car problems and had to spend my garage reno money on my car. I think you should support my cause and get me a new garage...my car needs a clean garage to stay in.
