You missed my point. Having an extra $75 dollars one time doesn't mean you are no longer a poor person as you argued. You are also not considering that even if he has permanently moved from $200 cues to $300 cues that still doesn't mean that you are out of the poor category as anyone who can only consider $300 cues is probably pretty poor especially when they are selling the last one every time and never own more than one at a time. Not to mention that I don't think his spending limit has even really even increased as you proclaimed because as I recall he has bought cues in the $300 range all through the years (although at times he has limited himself to less than that as well).Justinb386 now has to deal with the fact that his persona indeed does have more money in reserve to use for a cue than he has historically claimed. His persona must somehow account for this. It’s destroys the value of his constant plea for sympathy since this constant claim of lack of money now holds no water.
I saw that also and unlike the argument you previously made this is the one that you should be making instead as this one actually holds water IMO. Anybody that can afford $20 in junk food every day is not deserving of welfare, whether it be food stamps, or whether it be a sympathy price break on a pool cue, or any other kind of welfare. Someone on food stamps for example has no business whatsoever having the latest greatest iphone, or a newer car, or be going out to eat or to the movies or anything similar weekly or more, or eating $20 of junk food a day, etc, and the same thing goes for someone getting sympathy price breaks on cues. If you can afford any of those or similar things then you haven't been ethical and responsible enough to prioritize appropriately along with then making the necessary sacrifices long before you were willing to accept financial assistance from others regardless of amount or form and you should therefore not be getting any assistance.For instance, a couple of threads ago Justinb386 mentioned off the cuff (sorry, I don’t remember the exact scenario) about how he couldn’t afford a cue because it cost $20 a day to eat junk food, or something similar.
