He's taking it all for himself/themselves. Do they need it? maybe....But I hope this whole situation has been a lesson for him/them in business.


No, I'm not a "hater" as you put it. I do often times have issues with people who ask for money for free. If I were to do the same thing, you would likely laugh and say "yeah right"


ESPECIALLY my church! You've undoubtedly seen the "church" members on the street corners with their buckets right? Well, the news station did an investigation as to where the money went. The church pastor said it went into buying food for their "food pantry". When asked to see the food pantry, the pastor went (keep in mind the interview was at the pastors HOME) to the deep freezer and opened it up and said "it's right there". A bunch of frozen dinners and other frozen food. So yeah, I make sure I look into where my church is spending it's "free money". Also, a legitimate church is listed as a non-profit. Is JAPWorks? I didn't think so. He has made over $500 on these "donations" and should be paying taxes on it as INCOME. I don't know if he is or not. I am going to ASSUME he will though. He sounds like a fairly smart guy.



So martial artists are perfect? Try again. Many of them make mistakes. I'm not a "know-it-all" by any means, but I DO have (as I stated before) a bit more knowledge about it than the average bear, which gives me a bit more UNDERSTANDING of it.



Yeah, I see your point here as well. Even if I had thought of it, I probably never would have done it either. There are litteraly THOUSANDS of ways to make money for free, but I'm not doing any of them either. Guess I fail at making money for nothing.



What name did I call him again?


Well, that's your opinion. Opinions are like....oh yeah, bung holes. Everyone has one, and they all stink.

HUH? I have no commute. So no way for me to get a flat when I go home. I litterally walk up the stairs. I'll try to trip for you though. At least you're calling yourself a troll. I would hate to call someone a name or something and ruin that perfect image you have of martial artists. We're people, not machines. People make mistakes by nature. When machines make mistakes, it's usually because a PERSON gave it the wrong parameters. Enjoy your day.

All along you've been accusing JAPworks of asking for money. Even though countless times, it has been explained to you that they didn't ask for money. They started this thread to let other members be aware of the situation. After this thread started gaining some popularity, more and more people started asking if there was somewhere to donate. I don't think I have ever once seen JAPworks asking for money. They are simply accepting the donations that are coming in.

I would like to know, have you read the entire thread? You keep bringing up a lot of points that have been discussed. People have called you out about not reading the thread and you have not defended those accusations.

There was quite a bit of discussion early on about the money going to a charity. If you really had read the whole thread, I really doubt you would have said "He's not donating a portion to charity, he's not giving some to someone else who actually needs it."
