  • Oh NO you did NOT just say that!

    Guh. I think I am having some kind of hormonal issue or something, I am having mood swings like mad, and that's probably part of why this sent me into an instant frothing rage, but the comment itself was pretty damn inexcusable.

    Left on one of my art galleries, where part of my profile states things like "This is my full-time job, not my hobby. The prices I charge are exactly what I need to charge in order to pay the rent."

    This NIMROD said, "i'm totally opposite of you in so many ways. i think making everything have to be about little green pieces of paper is one of the major things that mess this world up."



    You know what, Nimrod? I would LOVE it if the world didn't require money. I would ADORE being able to just do my art without having to worry about getting paid for it. Making plushes just for the sheer love of it and then giving them away to deserving and interesting people is my idea of fucking PARADISE. But guess what?! Unless you're willing to give me a house to live in and a million bucks to live on, I NEED money in order to pay rent, buy food, and generally survive. I would not be happy living under a bridge. I would not be making art of ANY sort if I were starving to death on a street corner.

    So you can just FUCK OFF and DIE for all I care, you condescending prick. I bet you've never actually *had* to work a day in your coddled little life, and I hope that changes for you very soon so you can know what it's like to HAVE to care about "little green pieces of paper" even if it's the last thing in the world you want to do!

      This person must conduct all their economic activity (paying rent, bills, buying groceries, etc) on the barter system.

      I mean, I'd hate for them to be a hypocrite or anything.

          True, but it's still no excuse to say that to someone who does need the money in order to live.

            Sounds like my cousin's husband. The current reason he is giving for not going out to get a job--and this is a direct quote--is: "I'm above trading my time for money."

              Ugh. I saw your journal on that and cringed. What a horrible thing to say to an artist. >:{

                I think he knows she needs the money but they are a troll or just does not care.

                  Nimrod could move to Australia where everything is about purple, blue, red, yellow and green pieces of plastic. Not that our friends in Australia would want him there.

                    Yeah, my other journal about this was a lot more polite!

                    But I also gave the guy a bit of a lecture in direct reply... maybe he will get a clue, but I am not holding my breath!

                            You know, I finally really took a look at some of those comment threads - particularly your DeviantArt.

                            You truly are made of steel if you can endure the ridiculous hagglers that seem to swarm your sites.

                              Whoever mentioned a barter scheme, while I know that electricity and whatnot isn't bartered through it, a couple of suburb-towns (they're in the country, but for all intents and purposes, they are considered to be suburbs) run a scheme called LETS, which is where you earn "credits" based on something you do and in turn, you give those credits to someone else. So you still buy, sell and trade things, but not with money. (for instance, you might pay for a bottle of wine with 40 minutes of mowing the lawn)
