I am just wondering how I can help keep this website intacted since I view this website as one of the rare free speech outlets of the net.
I would like to do anything that I can in helping this website out financially or otherwise.
I used to be on a motorcycle forum that looked just liket his one. They had a “make a donation” button that went to paypal…
The only thing that I must say is that I only like making financial donations through that of cash.
( Does not like electronical transfers)
( I also stay away from all credit cards too.)
Dude paypal gives me like 5% interest on my balance, and they insure all transactions. And there’s no minimum balance. How do you buy things online? I know that this defies your anti-consumerism stance, but you’ve gotta buy things sometimes. Ebay is the shit!!
I don’t buy things online.
( Does little buying period.)
( Joker lives a life of perpetual poverty in reality.)
When I was your age I was in the same boat. I actually did alot of bad things just so I could have money and do stuff. I got so good at what I was doing, that I became more confident in my ability to beat the system. Then I went to college, and after living in the real world all that time, it’s a fucking cake walk. Seriously. You’re smarter than most of the people that have been in my classes. An undergraduate philosophy department would never see you coming.
Most people say that I should go to college but fail to under my extreme innumeracy in mathmatics, my impefect writing structures in grammar and
there is of course my perpetual financial ruin in the present currently added with all the various court appointed problems that I have.
There is of course also my anxiety of the institutional enviroment which colleges represent.
I find that I am at my best in un-contained enviroments.
( This doesn’t mean that I don’t think about going to college but rather I just don’t see it as functioning option for myself.)
Anyhow…
Is there any set up where I could help finance this website with cash?
Dude I’m in my last semester and I have to take math 110 to graduate. I assure you that you don’t suck as bad as I do in math. Once you’re 23, you’ll qualify for a pell grant. Then college is free, (and you can spend the leftover money on drinks and bitches). About the court stuff…I’ve been in court about 5 times this year. Wednesday I have to go testify in a divorce hearing about this lady I work with. They’re going to ask me about smoking pot, and having sex, and who knows what else?? I’ll let you know how it goes. I think I might actually plead the 5th. FIF!!!
If people are going to donate, they should do so anonymously. Otherwise, there’s the risk that a moderator or administrator will hesitate to make choices that might offend a regular donor.
Dunno how college works on the US, but I think I skipped 1/4 of my classes and noone did anything about it.
And even if they did, repeating a class is the worst that can happen. Not like it’s very restrictive. And the way it’s (dis)organized, I can go to any class I want and even get a grade on it, since it kinda allows for that
Maybe it’s only in here though. It’s great to whoever likes the subjects and wills to find out the ways people used to get around problems, etc, but bad in general.
Joker,
We accept donations through PayPal (you can find it by going here ilovephilosophy.com/ilp_PayPals.php). You can PM me if you can’t use PayPal
Of course, a donation is simply a way of saying thank you for running the site. It doesn’t give you any special treatment (well, maybe a kiss from Imp)
I once proposed to ben that I use ILP for a drug-money laundering scheme, from which we could both profit. He turned me down on [urely moral grounds. So, I think I am qualified to vouch for the integrity of the management of ILP.
He is still, to my knowledge, thinking about linking to a site that I own: “I Love Philosophical Naked Teens”, however.
All in good time faust…all in good time…
Faust you got my hopes up there for a minute. Google returned nothing.
What most people don’t realize is that the website has already been setup that way. One day, soon, once the details are complete Ben will give the order and the spam will no longer be removed from sections but instead presented as stickies in every section. You won’t be able to avoid porn on this sit – the sexy advertising is just the beginning.
ixnay on the ecret plan-say.
