So, let me get this straight. Magus and Posthuman, you guys are saying that when someone willingly and with knowledge of the possible consequences, does something stupid that results in painful, but not permanent damage, they are entitled to beg random strangers for help WITH RENT AND LIVING EXPENSES, NOT MEDICAL EXPENSES and we should all consider this perfectly acceptable and we should consider this donation as we might consider a donation to an animal shelter or orphanage?
Really?
Sure, if this girl was permanently/long term physically or mentally damaged then aid would be perfectly appropriate and highly acceptable REGARDLESS of how it happened.
Lets not forget that we are talking about a temporary injury, no loss of employment and an available home to go to if evicted. She will be off work for 6 weeks, not six months, not six years.
Does the same principle apply if I get a really bad flu and have to be off work without pay for two weeks and can't afford my rent? Is it then also okay to beg for donations? Is 1 week okay? What about if I don't have to miss work at all, but I dunno, just felt like quiting my job (an action with foreseeable consequences, taken by me anyway)?
I agree with Chitoryu12 that this girl should accept the consequences of her actions JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET. If her family want to assist her financially with what will basically amount to ONE MONTHS RENT, the go for it, but to beg internet strangers for help is in severe poor taste.
On the other hand, anyone has the right to beg complete strangers for money for any reason they want. If you don't like it, don't donate!
