[rant] Evidence A.-- a PM i recieved a few minutes ago > Hey, > I saw your site and really liked it. My website has a really flaky design and I was wondering if you can help me out with my website redesign. I can’t really do anything in return for you except to give you credit for the website design. Please please please help me out if you can. You certainly know how to work with graphics and stuff. I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much. 1. That site sucks. The graphics were done in two minutes and the layout is terrible. The client wanted it like that so that is what was done… ([www.gonetoearthmusic.com](http://www.gonetoearthmusic.com)) 2. Why would I help him for free? Does that make sense to anyone? Evidence B.-- A post by BobbyDouglas [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31072](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31072) Now I admit that its a decent program and it will help some people, but honestly… he really should be posting this at a remedial HTML forum… [/rant] ---

yes people are stupid and apprently in their ignorance they also suspect other people to be helpful and courteous without the need for monitary reward or other such compensation. Pffft, as if people like that exist :sigh: ---

Well its not as tho I would mind helping him with a little design work, but I already am working on 3 4 client sites (that are barely paying me) and I also have another full time job. The way his request was, it seemed like he wanted me to redesign his entire site… thats just not something I will do for free… especially when I suck at design… :sigh: ---

I know… I asked senocular to do me a little script as a favour, and now he’s charging me $49.93/minute :hair: ---

LOL, so someone actually asked you to redesign their site for free eh? I think we can safely say that person is an idiot. As for BobbyDouglas, his program was pretty cool, but as you stated, it is for remedial beginners in HTML/CSS Coding, I think he was just trying to find places to get praise for creating a program that lets you choose colors. ---

Yes people are stupid. And since we are all not stupid that makes us not people, right? And ahmed, why don’t you shop around for scripters. I do 19.95/minute\* 🙂 \

Pffft, as if people like that exist :sigh: \*\* I believe this comes from our educational system. Some are brought up to believe that the world is there for their use. If you don’t want to do something, just ask the instructor. He/she doesn’t have enough time to spend teaching you individually, so he/she just does the task for you, enabling you to keep up with the class. So they think that anyone is willing to complete their task for them with very little compensation or respect. JMO Rev ---

Jubba, I just saw your site and I think it’s the swellest! I was wondering if you could be an idiot like me and make me a site for free!? I can’t really offer you anything, but I promise to pretend to be your friend. As soon as you finish the site for me, I’ll forget all about you and ignore your \*\*\*\*\*. ---
