Sheesh, get over yourselves guys, you really are not important to me at all, just names in a debate.
I love robust debate and will reason any point that I care to, for the debate.

Perhaps you guys get butt-hurt if you lose an argument, or run away from it, but I hadn't even noticed that you were one of my contenders in a thread I authored. My my, you must really be emotional and delicate little things to think that I am trolling here because you disagreed with me in another topic.

You amuse me though so continue if you wish, I enjoy the laugh.
...although I'd prefer to stick to the topic of any OP and enjoy the debate instead of inventing silly emotional side-tracks to the conversation. Lol.


*Edit*
So, OP, are you going to continue with the debate and explain what your point was in the OP as I asked, or just focus on your perceptions of me as a person instead of having an adult discussion?

Since when do we debate things in the General Chit Chat forum??

Somebody forgot to send me an email.

Ah, so let's continue the conversation the OP started which resulted in an on-topic question from me.
Are you saying general chit-chat is about getting all silly and suggesting someone is a troll when they ask an on-topic question, incorrectly stating it is because they disagreed with the OP in a previous thread?
Are you saying that general chit-chat is about post authors going off topic emotionally inventing the intentions of a member when asked a question about the OP?

*Edit*
The OP said I missed the point, I asked what the point was, the OP went off topic and focused on me personally...is that what general chit-chat is about?
Perhaps you can help this poor confused grain of sand on the beach of uncertainty that is general chit-chat?

We generally go from
no money > into debt > deeply into debt > little debt left > back deeply into debt > pay off debts > FLAT BROKE > some money trickling in > extra cash > rich

congrats if you've hit the flat broke stage

Ah, I shall assume from your post that this chit-chat topic was to attract interest from those online friends in the know to offer support and encouragement. If it had been less cryptic then I would of course ignored the topic.
I wish the OP and everyone else best wishes if life is a struggle of whatever nature, even if I disagree with them in other ATS debate.

If this thread is more about feeling for the OP and not seriously blaming banks and government for all their problems then I shall leave y'all to it.

What are you right about?
Saying that you followed some rules ordered by banks and governments and that is the sole reason for now being broke?
I asked did you not make any life choices yourself which contributed to the situation...you still haven't answered?

a reply to: jude11

I`m trying to do the same, but the damn government keeps sending me money.

Where is your sympatico...compassion. Why so confrontational. Do you get your jollies from poking people when they are down?

If you can't show some basic human compassion...go away.

Glad to hear that. Wouldn't want my favorite place on ATS turning into a warzone...

Oh by the way, just found this bit of info...(not related or directed at anybody in particular)

chit·chat (chtcht)
n.
1. Casual conversation; small talk.
2. Gossip.

Ah, fair enough, this was a thread for sympathy, I'll get my coat and leave.
If the OP had not dressed it up in such a cryptic way I would have not questioned the 'blaming banks and govt and following rules' etc, it would have been clear, but it wasn't so I went with discussion based on the words I saw in the OP.

You appear to know the background story and I don't because I don't know the OP, but had I known them I would have approached the topic differently of course.
I can only interpret what I read by a thread author, and if they choose to be cryptic they have only themselves to blame for responses by people who are 'not in the know'.

Kind regards to the OP, but learn a lesson about starting a new topic...not everyone reads everything you post so if you are being cryptic expect some folk to misinterpret your intended message when they don't know you.

You have that to?

Although I must say the IRS is really trying to help me lose some of that money so I'm in this weird loop where Government deposits money into my account and that same government takes that same amount out of my account.

Maybe I should just call them and tell them they are better off opening their own account and stop using mine for their transactions....

I set out in life knowing, just knowing that I would never be a millionaire and with the help from Banks & Govt. ...I'm flat-ass broke!
I always knew that if I played by their rules that I would reach this milestone and I was right. If it wasn't for their commitment to help me in this, it might never have happened.

If you try real hard, it will happen for you too!

Peace

Did you pray to God at any time?

a reply to: jude11

Flat broke can be far more peaceful than the converse. You'd be surprised! I've seen both ends of the spectrum several times, and I've learned to cherish the times when I was flat broke.

Anyhow, I dig your post... gave me some thoughts for the day!
