If you know me, then you know I am a very independent women. I always pay my own way and won't blink twice at the opportunity to help someone who is in NEED. Just a few weeks back I paid a needy families electricity bill because it had been turned off and my little brother asked me to do it for his friend's mother. Now what kinda of a role model would I be talking to my family about how good things have been for me and to just say no I cannot help your friend's mother... I had never even met this woman. I was so proud of my little brother for even thinking to ask me to do it. When I met the lady at her home and paid the meter man, she and her son cried and then of course I cried as well. It feels so good to do a good deed and to know I helped that mother and son to relieve just a little stress. They were so thankful with offers of cleaning my house to doing yard works but I let them know that it was a gift.
My point is, just because your mac book air was stolen, or your expensive dresses or maybe just a stupid IPHONE, That in no way equates to the people who are struggling to eat and keep their homes. So my rear window was vandalized in my convertible... do I come asking for a handout? NO! There is a bigger picture people! When did everyone become so damn self serving? If you have food and a place to rest your head, you shouldn't be asking others to replace your toys! xoxo my love to all my fans and friends

Maybe just a nice lady. Always best to give help anonymously but even better to be found out! I don't think it counts when you yourself are the source of the story

My point is so you were robbed and your phone was stolen, so your ex took all your glittery things... Many people still have a lot less and while some people are asking for a replacement of things that they don't need... there are people out there who do need help... think twice before you open your wallet and think twice before you open your hand. That lady didn't ask me for the money my brother did. Some girls just want free things... Shame on you!

Physical things are transient. If you have food in your stomach, a roof over your head, are relatively healthy and all body parts present and working, you're doing better than alot of people in this world. If one is so gifted to have more than what they need to live, should not the gifts be shared with those less fortunate?

Arcadia u are so great! I was homeless at one point in my life. For most of my 20s I had a sugardaddy who paid for everything, if my rent was late, my boobs or gagets. But once we parted ways I struggled a lot and even became homeless, but hey I survived and it made me a stronger person. I do everything on my own! I produce my whole site, I work hard everyday to pay my bills and food! I dont have guys handing me money, nor do really ask for any ever! I have a surgery fund, dont push it! I have an Amazon Wishlist, only 2 things been purchased off of it by same person. I dont care, im content. I dont have the porn industry asking me to shoot for every site. Basically my career has been formed by myself and the hard work I do at promoting it. Just in last 3 mths has it paid off! I may not be making 1000s of dollars shooting for sites in a month that some of these girls get, but in long run I will make more than those lil shoots they get in one month.

So thank u Arcadia for writing this... from a girl who always got a handout early in my transition to now, doing it all for myself!

but...i will just say this...if i am reading this properly, i think it is directed a particular situation and i think you are misdirecting your contempt for it at the requester. if someone is robbed and cries out for others to help them recoup their glittery things...yeah, its not really a good look because of the real needs of most people out there, but shame on the people who answer the call, not the person making the request.

That's chill, until you admit that the particular person this thread may be directed toward have practically been spamming HA with donation requests lately and has admitted that they don't give a damn about conversing with anybody around here. You're essentially requesting that we all respect someone that keeps asking for money and doesn't give two shits about any one of us. Makes sense.

I’ve been a boxing fan all my life. There a referee who’s seemingly taking his retirement this month. His name is Joe Cortez and his motto: “Remember that I’m fair but I’m firm!”
You’re a tough lady, Acadia. And you remind me of that guy. ;)

As far as I’m personally concerned, I’ve been through some very tough times in my life. I don’t know why, sometimes, some people came and gave a hand. More often not, of course. But sometimes, out of the blue, for no reason, some people have done stuff for me that they absolutely didn’t need to do, totally gratuitously. So I’m always careful when anyone ask me for anything, and always tend to give the benefit of the doubt. I know perfectly well that some take advantage of me. But I prefer being had many times, to help one person in need, rather than miss that important opportunity that might really make a difference. Anyone who would say how feeble I show my character to be would be right, and I would be forced to agree with him/her.
Now as to the persons in question, frankly, although I felt it to be troubling and at times very suspicious, I didn’t add my voice to those of the sceptics. I don’t know their situation. I don’t know what these people are going through. I don’t. I would rather stay prudent about this. Call it a trait of temperament. (And don’t get me wrong: I’m not either blaming any of those sceptics; on the contrary, many remarks, including yours, Acadia, seems bright, enlighten, lucid and funny to me).

i was not aware of that. i don't read all the threads so if that is the case...then i agree its total bs.

just because you see some naked pictures of someone or pay them to fuck them doesn't mean you have a meaningful relationship and that said person requires any emotional investment

Where is the voice of reason here? I take on face value that these girls were robbed at gunpoint. Anyone who is the victim of violent crime deserves my sympathy until proved otherwise. So you don't "know them" so what? I have no emotional investment in them. They're not MY friends. They even be horrible people. But they suffered an assault. They are shook up. I feel sorry for them. I consider that a natural human response.
And those who say otherwise are just a little devoid of humanity.

Prospero..With all due respect (because I like the review section and your contribution to it)..but you seem nothing more than a predictable puppet.
These girls could dangle their cocks at you with the promise of a freebie from across the pond and cry you a river and you'd sing holy praises of them.
I think most peoples sentiments was that of sympathy/empathy for the robbery aspect..and most said "Thank God you are all safe" ...that is the "human response".
However..almost all (except for a few extreme suckers) felt that their solicitation for monies (3 porn/escorts/sexworkers/webcammers) was a low and pathetic gesture..playing on the likes of "human nature" from strangers and chasers like you.

this.

i know i am in the minority with such a position, but i really don't care about the common man unless i have a personal and emotional investment in him. this lack of common decency if that's what you want to call it is concurrently the attitude that makes me an exceptional surgery fellow and researcher.

i have been very upfront in several threads where i say that i know my place when it comes to this walk of life...i am a john...i am a client and almost all tgirls I have ever known have been for them to make me cum. since that is the extent of our relationship.... a business relationship where they are paid for services rendered, either online or in person, that's where it ends. i have no feelings good or bad about anyone that i don't care about personally being the victim of a crime. do you think i care about every man or ggirl out there that is a victim of a crime?

let's put it another way....
if a stunning porn star gets robbed, i don't care.
if a stunning porn star wins the lotto, i don't care.
if a stunning porn star wins a AVN, i care because that's part of our business relationship (however indirect the $$$ I spent on their site/material might be in the long run)

good things happen to bad people. bad things happen to good people. vice versa. its just life and really not worth my time to care about because the people that i interact with daily and know personally are far more important than anyone i simply have a business relationship with.

I am bewildered by your attitude.

So unless you knew them personally a family of five - with maybe babies - dying in a fire would not move you? You'd not perhaps feel sympathy for the orphans whose parents were murdered by terrorists? For the widows and families of those blown to pieces by a terrorist bomb? For the children dying every day in Syria? For the wife whose husband is dying of cancer?

And escorts are ordinary people too doing a job and deserve respect.

BUT... she and her pals endured a very unpleasant experience. Their line of work uts them at risk. True. But they are human beings.

I was responding to RallyCola's inhumanity - seen offered in its full repulsiveness in his latest post. These girls are people. Human being. i was offered no freebie and nor did i offer them money. Perhaps they were wrong to ask for monies - but i still think it is mean spirited to attack them in the way they've ben attacked in this thread.

I was simply saying - just lets feel sorry for them and leave it at that.

I fully recognise who this is directed at. The original request left me a little ambivalent, though victims of crime do deserve our sympathy. But there is something a little mean spirited here.

Mean spirited? Nope just blatantly honest... so what ur phone was stolen get a used one if you can't afford a brand new one... why should others be expected to replace what was lost cause someone couldn't look through a peephole in a door? thats what insurance is for, I can think of many ways to raise the money for a brand new phone and $500 for rent and none include thinking I am so entitled to just have things handed to me. This is about a sense of entitlement, not sympathy because they have my sympathies


i disagree. i have no personal investment so she is not deserving of my sympathy.

just because you see some naked pictures of someone or pay them to fuck them doesn't mean you have a meaningful relationship and that said person requires any emotional investment

I totally agree, just cause someone see's my naked pic's doesn't mean they owe me a Mercedes, house or even $500 for rent... and although they don't owe it to me, it would be uncouth for me to ask such viewers to do so. Hello people bigger picture! you want a new cell phone and mac book and people are starving... why are you so entitled?


Rally - I didn't say emotional investment. I said sympathy. Just like you'd feel sympathy is some poor guy got shot at a local drugstore - even if you didn't know him. It's common decency. Or is your creed so harsh that you care for no-one but yourself and immediate circle of family and friends?

I do feel bad for these girls, especially the ones that did not answer the door, but where is our accountability? we must be responsible for the situations we CHOOSE to put ourselves in. Why were these men at the door? I am so thankful they are all ok, but do I think asking the members of HA for money is appropriate? no, by their own admission only Tiffany had money and a phone stolen so why were the other two asking for money? #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm

we are getting way off topic here and i invite you to PM me if you really want to discuss this but to answer your query...

no, babies dying in a fire, women and kids orphaned by terrorists, cancer patients and survivors DO NOT MOVE ME.

ordinary people regardless of the job they have or the situation they are in do not deserve respect. you earn respect and just because you are a victim of circumstance does not mean you get respect from me. i think i've been pretty consistent about my lack of respect for that which does not immediately impact me. that is not selfish and it is not cold. it just simply is. my concern does nothing for the victims you outlined nor does it get someone their ipad back so why bother. it isn't worth my time or investment to care because altruism is the biggest farce in our modern society. if you respect someone so much and have so much regard for their present disposition, why not quit your job so that you may be replaced by an escort so they need not fuck for a buck. why not renounce your wealth so that every hungry child in the US can have a snickers bar. Why not donate a pint of blood each day so that we may replenish the stocks of usable supply? Why not open your home to 7 syrian kids who are orphaned? since you won't do all that, but you will give worthless respect and feign concern for someone you will never meet, your empty emotions are enough for the both of us and i will continue not to care either way about that which is out of my grasp, control and concern.

i'll give you another example...i am a die hard yankee fan and if tomorrow jeter's home was invaded and he was sprayed in the face with battery acid my concern would be for the fact that i spent considerable $$$ on a team whose playoff chances were just injured, not the man himself. its just a point of view that not many accept or even understand but its my pov and i'm sticking to it.

If it were all lies that is another matter.

I think you're completely missing the point, sir.
There isn't a lack of empathy here. We're all sorry that they had to experience being held at gunpoint and having their rent money stolen. I haven't heard anybody say anything to the effect of "they got what they deserved". By all means, if that were the case your point would be incredibly valid. Donating money to victims of crime is a choice, not a natural human response. While empathy can be a motivation for charity, you also have to consider that Jamie's public reputation around here is kinda screwed in the wake of her recent statements and actions.

Perhaps the situation would have been different if the three volunteered to cover rent from their other saved incomes and simply asked contributors to consider that they had just lost a lot of their donations; I know that's simply arguing over semantics, but it would have made for a world of difference. However, it's admittedly a bit precocious that while having the money to cover rent, they'd sooner pretend they didn't for the sake of monetary benefit. You may call that 'cutting even', but do you really think they're going to hand extra donations back once they hit the $550 mark? Not likely.

It's also a bit of a slap in the face that while each of us have our own problems in life, the only argument they've been able to muster in their defense is that they only ask for the donations so they don't have to struggle. Everybody struggles from time to time and most of us don't ask for help. That doesn't deserve them charity. Some of us have been robbed, taken advantage of, exploited, cheated, or hurt so where's our shot at free cash without services rendered?

I'm not claiming that cam shows and porn scenes aren't a lot of work, but it's certainly not the same as putting in overtime at a nine-to-five to make up for lost income. Euphemistically, that's like getting a black eye and either asking for a free steak or a free plane trip up to the arctic to reduce the swelling. One is acceptable, the other isn't.

So, yeah... sympathy and donation are two different things. They have my sympathy, just not my money.

Wow.
What are you, a Satanist? Sounds like it'd be right up your alley, dude.
In other words, you refuse to do anything for anyone unless there's something in it for you and you refuse to concern yourself with people unless their situations have a directly negative effect on yours. While that is logical, it's not human.

Say, Seanchai... isn't there some rule against botting on HA?

By that I mean something I could actually DO.... (something tangible)
I'm disabled,make 700$ a month and while I don't have the things I want, I have the things I need.

I've had to ask for help before....it isn't easy and it's never pretty....
I was homeless...you have no idea how hard it can be to ask someone to put a roof over your head.....
I've NEVER, however asked for people to replace things for me....
when the choice came for me to pay rent or short my landlord 60$ so I could pay my phone bill I chose to let the phone slide a month.....My landlord was even OK with missing 60$. I told him that he gave me a necessity....My phone carrier didn't. My phone is broken right now....I can't afford to fix it for a few more months....Not going to have someone else pay for it,even on my fixed income (Fixed Income? I'm far too young to sound so old!) Because when I get it fixed finally I will feel good knowing I did it without asking for help.... (I take my victories where I can) Don't know if that made sense.....it did in my head....if not,sorry.

Wow.
What are you, a Satanist? Sounds like it'd be right up your alley, dude.
In other words, you refuse to do anything for anyone unless there's something in it for you and you refuse to concern yourself with people unless their situations have a directly negative effect on yours. While that is logical, it's not human.

Say, Seanchai... isn't there some rule against botting on HA?
I think that might be applicable here. lol.

He's not a satanist Grim. We're obviously dealing with Patrick Bateman's alter ego here....

I'm no fan of Prospero, for a variety of reasons, but I'll resist the strong urge to pile on. I didn't find Acadia's post to be particularly mean spirited or harsh. I knew exactly what she was getting at. She had strong, but valid opinions and let them fly. That's what this place is supposed to be about. I don't know her, but her compassion seems to be legit....and who is anyone to question it ?

What's next.......? Some john comes on here and announces his pay date cleaned his wallet out, and he needs rent money? lol

no, babies dying in a fire, women and kids orphaned by terrorists, cancer patients and survivors DO NOT MOVE ME.

ordinary people regardless of the job they have or the situation they are in do not deserve respect.


Wow. That is fucked up.

yes..i agree...most people are are far more compassionate on their worst day that i ever will be on my best...but i don't really care. i do not respect anyone that has not earned it.

i am not a satanist and i am a huge fan or ellis' novel but my opinions and POV are not evil or that of wishing harm on anyone. i just simply don't care...a level of stoicism and indifference that is misconstrued. i don't want anyone to be robbed, but i don't care if they were. get it?

but we are off topic. the topic is whether or not acadia laid out a plausible and valid argument regarding entitlement. i think she did and everyone would do well to re-evaluate just what they really have earned and therefore deserve.
