If I had $100, and a poor an asked me for $1, I would give it without thinking. But if I asked a man with $100,000, for $1,000, he would scoff at me and say, "Get a job you bum!" So who is actually the generous person?

Percentage wise, it is the same amount.

The proportion is the same: 50%

Exactly. The billionaire still had a fucking BILLION dollars. The poor man now only has FIFTY. The poor man has given more REAL dollar.

Did you just go up to a random person and ask for $1000?

No. My point is this. People with tons of money would not give me $1,000 to help me get on my feet. But if I had $100, I would give almost all of it to help a starving man eat. Thus, I am more generous than rich people. What the hell would it hurt a rich person to give me $1,000? It would mean NOTHING to a rich person,p but the WORLD to me. But they simply will not. They are stingy.

What do you need $1000 for, anyway? I mean, giving a stranger $10 won't do any harm, but a person could go crazy with $1000.

1. Give money to my poor, dear mother who is suffering just to take me in temporarily.
2. Get gas in my car to go look for jobs.
3. Get groceries for me and my mother.
4. Pay my mother's bills.

I agree. American mores say that poor people deserve it and should suffer and fuck them.

I'm looking at this list item right now…
> 2. Get gas in my car to go look for jobs.
…and that only costs a few dollars. Better yet, I would just give you a bus pass.
As for the other three — I would just give the money directly to your mother.

1. Buses here run every two hours if you are lucky.
2. Driving all over town to look for jobs costs more than just "a few dollars." Gas is $3/gallon today.
3. Then prove your words, and give money to my mother.

See? Rich people talk a good game. But when it comes to actually giving to the poor, they have convenient excuses.

No, it is an excuse to ask my mother to come onto a chan to ask for money. She is a saint, and old. She would not even know what this place is. See, I ,a poor man, would give alot of money to a fellow poor man who was hungry, without all sorts of questions and conditions. But rich people always have all sorts of conditions.

Perhaps you have some things that you can sell to make some quick cash. Hell, I've got lots of useless crap lying around and I'd rather have the money than have this stuff taking up space.

You're loose with your money and expect everyone else to be. It isn't stinginess just because they aren't living up to your personal desires and expectations.
