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.
I've been following this thread for quite some time and have remained anonymous until today. After reading your posts, I could not refrain from contributing my opinion. What is the purpose of your argument? To prove that JAPworks wrong for accepting money given to them by other people?

My question to you is: Why are you judging JAPworks based on the fact that they are accepting donations from people who are trying to help? Shouldn't you be judging them based on how the money is spent? Wouldn't that offer a you better perspective on what kind of people they are?

The guys from JAPworks have made it clear that this incident has left a devastating impact on not only their business but their families as well. They made it clear that the donated money was going into the fees required to keep the vehicle in their possession which would provide a means to keep not only their business but their family afloat.
