So any of your friends that are wealthier than you should pay your bills for you? And you should pay for the ones you're wealthier than?

This is sounding a lot like socialism...
Giving your friend money isn’t socialism.

The government taking your money, and giving it to your friend is socialism.

see the difference?

This really is pocket change for Cal. I don’t know why the rich ask for our help with financial burdens. It is quite annoying.

That being said my thoughts and prayers are with Mike and his family.

Demanding someone wealthier to provide financial benefits to someone else simply because they are wealthier is exactly like socialism. The government aspect is irrelevant. There really isn't a difference to see.

Almost 100,000 grand really isn't pocket change for anyone. Particularly when you factor in tax burdens, his snd his families expense, and what he likely already donates to other causes. If Cal gives 100,000 to everyone in need, he probably isn't going to have much left.

You're also assuming a great deal. Perhaps he did offer and Pratt wouldn't accept.



P.S. if you're giving prayers why does he need the treatment?

No is demanding. They are asking. Where has someone demanded this of Cal? And to be socialism, by definition, a government body does have to be the middle man.

Someone who has what akin to a Gofundme isn’t going to turn down a donation. That’s a ridiculous take.

Leave my religion out of this.

Clearly you haven't been reading this thread. There have been several demanding that Cal pay for his treatment because he makes more money. Sorry if you didn't understand that.

Actually it does not. Socialistic principles are taking money from the wealthy to give to the poor to make them equal. Demanding someone wealthy like Cal to pay for someone not as wealthy is the exact principles of Socialism. Again, sorry if you're confused by this.

Sure they would. Did Pratt start the gofundme himself, or did someone start it on bis behalf? Perhaps he is more comfortable taking smaller donations from multiple people vs allowing 1 person to pay for it all. Again, you are making a lot of assumptions.

If you don’t want people to speak about your religion, perhaps you are the one that shouldn't bring it up in the first place. But I do love how you couldn't answer that one! 😉

PLEASE stop ruining the intent of this thread. Mike Pratt needs help. BBN has always helped each other in bad times, even those that bicker with one another. This is an awesome man with a big problem. If you don’t support this issue PLEASE show some respect and just don’t reply. THANK YOU.

So you feel you shouldn't donate but should blackball others into doing so because they are successful. Interesting take!

Clearly you can’t distinguish a conversation with someone from the rest of the thread. I’m not demanding of him, and you’re speaking with me. I’m not what the rest of the thread has to do with that.

Imagine calling someone out for making assumptions whilst making several of your own. Come on man, at least try to be consistent and not hold yourself to a double standard.

I said I would keep him in prayers. I wouldn’t say that’s me talking about my religion. But if that offended you I would suggest you stay inside on your keyboard.

You said, "no one is demanding. They are asking." Were you not talking about the other posters by using the terms "no one" and "they"? 😉

What assumptions have I made? 🤔

Prayer is religious. So, you were talking about religion. How was I offended? I simply asked why he needed the treatment if you were giving prayers? You seemed to be the one offended when you said, "leave my religion out of this". 🤣

Look at the join date and post count. Its an alt account of one of our cowardly Cal haters. They use them to bait KY supporters and post outlandish crap to evade mods.
If anyone is an authority on alt accounts it’s you. The dimwit who got caught replying to his own posts last year. That’s a fact and you know it, bASS.
