the main problem with this campaign is a general problem with our society. money. if everyone who loves this campaign would pay only 5 or 10 bucks, aero would allready have WAAAAAAY enough to continue this campaign for half a year. donate 20 bucks a year and he will easily be able to make it perfect and finish his books and we buy them too. you "dont have money" ? you get your money from your parents? dude im
**** poor. i have a job where i earn
**** (im a translator by the way, i translate english science fiction novels into german, so if you need a translation for your book aero, come at me, lol) and i still donated 10 euro. even if you get like 50 bucks poketmoney monthly from your parents, you can still easily give away 10% which would be 5 bucks per month.
"why would i do that?"
why wouldnt you? is it such a big deal for you? i mean ofcourse nobody can expect from you to give away your money, but think about it: aero spent thousands of hours of time to bring us fun. how many hours did you play TCO? i played it probably about... alot. 50++ hours i guess.
now imagine aero would be your neighbour or live in your town and he'd ask you: "Hey, i need to move house, can you help me? it'll only take one hour", would you do it? would you do something for one hour to help him? ofcourse you would. now that you dont live in his town and he doesnt need to move house, you cant help him like that, but he needs a small portion of your time for another favor. money.
if you get a job, depending on where you live, you can earn about 7-20 US dollars an hour even if you are a student. why dont you get a small weekend job for only one weekend, everyone can do that, and donate the money you earn there to aero? isnt his work worth at least a few hours of your time? a week has 168 hours, if everyone donates 2 of them only once, aero is paid in full.
you dont want to work because you are a kid? or lazy? donate your poketmoney instead of buying sweets or some new
****-game on steam this month. how
**** hard is it.
i dont write this for aero, i write this for myself because i hate this stupid attitude of people clinging so much to their money. i know its not your individual fault but a serious issue of our society and when i see some hobo beggar in the streets i rarely give them money because i know they will probably just spend it on drugs and i dont give a
**** about them, shame on me. but with aero, i know hes a good man and hes doing good not only for himself and not only for me but for all of us.
i myself wouldnt have donated anything, i guess, if aero hadnt asked for it because, like most people, also shame on me here, if somethings free, i take it for free. also some things are not free and i still take them for free like movies and music and many games from online streaming services because i feel right doing it and also because i simply can.
on the other hand, i spend alot of money for
**** **** nobody ever needs, for example this piece of
**** movie "total recall". anyone saw that in 3D? man i spent like 13 bucks for this trash and it only got me 2 hours of mediocre semi-joy.
**** this
****, i need to man up and so do all of you.
let me lead with a good example: starting next month (july), i will spend my money on one less useless thing i surely dont need and instead give it to you. 10 bucks every month until you earn something yourself. as long as it takes.
