Yeah man, I agree. Hate it when people do that.

The funny thing is I'm being blasted left and right, on accusations of being jealous (as I said), being bitter (said that too), being lazy (because I'm poor?), you name it. While fully admitting to being green with envy, and not feeling ashamed because of that because it's perfectly human to want more than what we…

Don't worry, easy mistake to make considering the majority of commentors here are from the States. And thanks for taking the time to just ask instead of pass judgment, most of the comments to my original posts have a very... negative tone. Which I can understand, yet still find strange and annoying.

I respect you mate, I come from a background of special education and I know a lot of kids/people with autism and even did some remedial teaching with/to a few of them. You do good work :)

Really? I didn't know this, would explain a few things. Got a link(s) detailing this situation?

At least, and I agree with others that rightfully corrected me on that, he earned his money fair and square. No underhanded tactics, no tax evasion, and regardless of what we can say about the fairness of his forture compared to other jobs, it's clean money. That does make it easier for me to swallow, though I admit…

Hi Limeloop, I find that I also agree with a lot of the posters who disagree with me, so I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle. Then again, I openly admit to being a bit sour about things, so there you have it.

Do you know that you're the first one to ask me that? Everyone else just goes on about bitterness and jealousy (which I openly admitted to in my first post) or pedantically tells me that maybe I shouldn't be paying for internet then (which costs like 10 euro here, so yeah, and implies a whole load of other things). So…

And actually call back afterwards.

I already this to another person, so I'll summarize: maybe you should stop judging people before knowing all the facts. And even if you do, please don't be so pedantic about it. Your point could've been made without sounding like a dick.

I donate a total thirty euro's (not dollars) a month to three seperate charities (amounting to 6% of monthly income), considering I live in one of the richest countries in the world (Netherlands) and have it quite well even though I'm broke as fuck and considered poor, so I consider it a duty to pass on that privilige…

Oh, I've always enjoyed that comeback a lot! It implies that my money management skills are poor, and that is part of the reason why I'm poor. Correct? Even the assumption that one can live a decent life without internet or phone is amazing, but okay, I'll humor you.

Looks hella uncomfy if you ask me. Also, as a Person Of Girth it looks way too small for my royally endowed behind, which makes me wonder how Notch is gonna fit his on it. But that's beside the point I guess.

That was very eloquent, exactly what I wanted to say as well. Good show, chap.

Ugh, beige is such a cheap and icky color for toilets, I'm right with you on this one.

I'll need to clarify I think: I'm okay with this, Notch ain't flaunting nothin' in this particular case. The photo of him chilling is something I can respect, new house and excitement and all that, hence why I focused the post on my own jealousy and admitted to that.

Still sour about those 6k shitters tho'.

I especially dislike it when it's flaunted. I just found out I have to survive with a measly 4 bucks until the 23rd, can't even pay the busfare to school tomorrow, yet I hear Notch forked over 70 mil for a house almost 80x the size of my measly appartment. He earned it fair and square, and of course I'm jealous, but…

I didn't mention military anywhere, but it's interesting that you infer that from me saying 'strong image'. I replied to someone else in this conversation thread as well where I clarified it, summary is that strength also means simply not bowing to pressure, flipping the bird against aggressors and simply not paying…

Then don't read it. Don't even give attention to it. This is a very hard fact to accept, I know, but terrorism requires attention to be terrorism and break spirits, and in the current age of omnipresent media this is easier than ever. We're gonna have to handle the way we handle terrorism differently, because as it is…
