Yeah, it’s not like 750 people died in Chicago during a 1995 heat wave or anything.
The article does note that it was mostly elderly and the very poor who died, for fear of opening their windows for circulation. But it tragically does not say how many bunnies died.
Alright, fine. I take back the “you northerners” crack. But my central point in that post was that heat can kill. I should thank you for illustrating that better than I by pointing out the Chicago heat wave of 1995.
Fuckwit refuses to accept reasonable criticism of lame non-apology, film at 11.
You fucking horse’s ass. The people you REALLY need to apologize to are those who won’t receive truly needed donations in the future, because you fucked with their would-be benefactors’ trust. Or the people who really need help but will now be too afraid to ask because you threw a gallon of iocaine powder down the fucking well. Fuck the horse you rode in on with a GIGANTIC HORSE-SIZED VIBRATOR.
That’s your contribution to this thread? 
Yes, generally, however, a vulnerable subset of the population.. As was said, elderly and poor people. I grew up in the South without air in the dark ages. You sit in the tub. You dampen your clothes and your bedsheets, you keep air moving via fans, you stay hydrated. You spend the heat of the day at an air conditioned mall. You sleep on the porch, or on the roof.
And if you are the vulnerable and you come looking for a handout because old fashioned measures for dealing with heat arent sufficient and you are endangering your health, not the health of the pets, you explain why you are vulnerable when asking.
Won’t somebody think of the lagomorphs? They don’t want to be compared to rodents or Lute.
Listen, I understand wanting to murder bunnies, but what’s with the horse rape? That seems uncalled for.
What? These guys? Fuck those guys.
I didn’t notice any implication that it wasn’t consensual.
Should I make some kind of neigh joke here?
My money was refunded a few minutes ago without my making a request. So I am guessing he is returning all donations made.
From Silverado:
Cavalry Sgt.: How do I know this is your horse?
Paden: Can’t you see this horse loves me?
Cavalry Sgt.: I had a gal do that to me. It didn’t make her my wife
I just wonder why he was allowed create the thread in the first place.
Dude, I don’t know if you are still reading this thread, but fuck it.
Other people have the same mental issues as you do and don’t use them a shield in this way. I didn’t give much of a crap about your stupid begging thread but you need to realize that it’s insulting use your illness as a “get out of criticism free” card.
Also, twickster, your “wahwah how can you flame the mentally ill person” comment was patronizing as fuck. Just so’s you know.
Eureka basically said what I was going to say in that thread - there was a lack of judgement on Lute’s part, but I don’t think he’s a terrible person over it. Lute, if you’re still reading, probably the best thing to do right now is just lay low for a couple of days and let things cool off. Someone will post a tipping thread or something and we’ll all go haring off after that new outrage. 
Agreed. On the Internet, a nine days’ wonder becomes a nine minutes’ wonder. Lute, you’re fine - just take a break and stay away from the boards for a couple of days.
When **Lute **does come back, I think he should ressurect this thread.
I wasn’t saying he was a terrible person and contrary to twickster’s “note”, I wasn’t flaming the dude with mental issues. He made an apology and I said, basically, that apology sucked. I said he should give back the money unasked, so I’m glad he’s doing that. It was the only way to make clear he knew it was a mistake.
No, he is a terrible person. As I said to Eureka, the guy is not poor. He’s a homeowner with multiple retirement accounts and an unnamed asset he refuses to disclose. He’s not poor. Several posters tried to give him options about cooling the place, but he listened to none of that. He wanted money only. The last thing he wanted to hear was solutions that didn’t involve money from Dopers. He didn’t listen to anything regarding cooling. Show me one damn post where he doesn’t dismiss advice to cool his condo.
Show me one.
When called on it, he hides behind his “double depression”. Fuck that, I’m a clinical depressive, too, but one damn thing I know is that it is not a license to behave that way. He knows damn well what he tried to do. He tried to hit up people he didn’t know for money without caring where it came from, and he did it knowing there were other options. He knew! Why do you think he was so resistant to advice?
So fuck that guy.
He strikes me as a guy that has never given in his life. Just take and mooch. He complained about his brother not giving him money even though he is better off financially than his brother! That, Cat Whisperer, is what makes a terrible person.
Damn, I’m starting to feel bad for the guy. And I was one of the people who thought it was ri-goddamn-diculous to ask for 3Gs to keep his cat and his bunny rabbit comfortable, but, I dunno, he’s sorry? And I know, I know, asking in the first place especially considering he has funds and/or can finance it himself is flat out shady and wrong, but can we kind of frown in his direction and leave him be? I’m getting soft in my old age.
