I sincerely hope this whole thing wasn't about "winning" to you.


If so....then i'd say you're a rather shallow and callous individual.

I'd guess it might have something to do with the fact that we have states which are far larger than the entire island nation you live on.

I have no idea how far apart Sean and his GF are. If he lives in California and she lives in New York, a bus ride would take several days, if not an entire week. Since time is of the essence in just about everything in life, a bus trip would likely entail far less time they would be able to spend together if he traveled by plane.

As someone who has taken buses in this country for a few thousand miles before, I can't say it's an especially pleasant experience either.

Especially for many of us on the spectrum.



Anyway...depending on where how far he needs to travel....he might be able to find a round-trip plane ticket for less than $200.00.

IOW....a plane may not be VASTLY more expensive than a bus no matter what.

The distance is roughly equivalent to that between London to Moscow plus 500 more kilometers. Besides, he could fly for not much more than that would cost by bus.

I wouldent be being shallow and callous if this wasent a scam




Since just about everyone here save yourself realizes you haven't PROVED this is a scam, then your excuse here is a bit weak.

It seems to me that you're just being a contrarian simply for the sake of being one. This thread is neither the time nor the place for such a thing.

If you feel it's your duty to inform other members as to why this might be a scam...that's fine. But you haven't done such a great job presenting your case for one thing and now you're just trolling for another.

Well then why cant sean raise money hisself, and if its so serious, who cares if it takes a long time


When an illness is serious, time is of the essence. Regarding his difficulties with earning the money himself, I believe most of that has been addressed in other threads. You could look through his posts or pm him directly with your questions, I suppose.

You asked why can't Sean raise money himself. The reason for that is Sean never came up with the idea.

Half the charities you give to the money probably goes into peoples pockets so they are no more risk than giving to someone here, in my opinion.

Regardless, I don't see why this is such a huge fuss, no-one is obliged to do anything. Its a personal choice and everyone has the right to say no (which is justified, as you don't know the people) I don't know him either really I just thought it would be a thoughtful idea.

Its understandable that people suspect his GF is scamming, but at least be mature about it. I personally think it's real because she doesn't know about this as far as I know.

I don't mind partying with a few dollars, all it means Is I can buy less chocolate for a day :lol: but its not a huge fuss. If you want nothing to do with it, its absolutely fine. This thread is just to increase awareness for people who might want to see a love story a little bit happier - and quite frankly I think it would be quite lovely after looking at the 1000s of lonely aspies who make threads on here.

Sean: If we do make donations I think it would be fair to expect updates on what is going on at least. Is that cool?

In not so many words...I tried to point this out to Leekduck already.

But since it seemed to roar over his head like a Stuka diver bomber... i'm done with him.

He's not going to help out SUPPOSEDLY because he's "proven" that this is a scam.

And he has implied that even if it isn't...he wants to punish the parties involved and generally see to it that life is as difficult and inconvenient for everyone except himself ofcourse.

In other words....he's probably a conservative :lol: :wink:

for the scam screamers :

scam ?? HEEELLLLOOOOOO PEOPLE ! !! ! How could the sick woman be involved in a scam ??? Looking beyond the knowlege that she did not know this donation thread was going to happen , just where is she coming out ahead money wise ?? No one has said they would donate to HER , just to Sean to get to her .
MEAN PEOPLE SUCK !
I am heartily sorry Sean for the fact you have to duck while going through this kind of trauma ! Keep your head up and your eyes on the goal . Forgive these guys , they have just been taken one to many times . Peace to you

That kind of behaivor may be appropriate for 4chan, but this is Wrongplanet and we deal with serious topics every day. If you can't deal with serious threads, I'd suggest you stay out of them for now on.
