Neighbour Pretends to Have Cancer
Mar 15^th, 2021 at 7:39am

Three times just recently I have seen a man walking down my street who looks like a homeless bum. When I asked about him, a neighbour told me he is a man whom I have heard of, one who lives not too far away. She said he is being treated for kidney cancer and that explains his appearance. She then reminded me that he had gotten caught a while back pretending to have cancer to get sympathy donations. I told her I had forgotten that and the world will be better off without him and I hope he dies soon.

Am I being harsh?

No.

But if you used your head AiA.
You might learn to capitalize like a Capitalist and exploit that person at their own game to teach them a lesson at it's most effective.
Doing Cabs - you get the odd 'Con' trying to get one over you because they are addicted to the Capitalist action of needing to get ahead at the misfortune of others. They always came off 2nd best. Wink

AIMLESS EXTENTION OF KNOWLEDGE HOWEVER, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK YOU REALLY MEAN BY THE TERM 'CURIOSITY', IS MERELY INEFFICIENCY. I AM DESIGNED TO AVOID INEFFICIENCY.

Well, given the world is grossly overpopulated, you may have a valid point of view.
