They're always after me Lucky- wait, wrong country and wrong cartoon...drclean: when you give someone a house that they have not worked for,,they dont value it as a person that has worked for it and paid for it himself.
Oh, doesn't that just make you tear up? I'm about ready to start bawling here. This asswipe cares so much about the young divorced mother of two who has a crappy minimum wage job and no prospects and nowhere to live, that he wants to make sure she really values her home. Oh yes, by all means, the primary concern here should be how much guilt we can extract, and how we can teach people important life lessons. That this woman and her kids end up living out of a late model hatchback, catching school on random days, living on the edge of crisis when one of the kids gets the sniffles, (oh god, please let it just be the sniffles) none of that matters to kindly old drclean. He'll toss you a buck, but only if you grovel for it first.
Where was this loser when we were all learning inportant ethical lessons from cartoons? I distinctly remember watching a Ducktales on just this topic. Scrooge McDuck was ranting about his lucky dime, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie were barely able to keep out of his way. And then Flintheart Glomgold, Scrooge's archnemesis, would crash through the roof of the mansion on some death-robot he'd had built, and steal all the money-and the lucky dime! So they'd grab Uncle Donald, and go on a globe-trotting adventure, where they'd beat old Flintheart, rescue the money, and Scrooge would learn that the true meaning of happiness isn't money, it's the love of your family. Dammit, drclean, don't be a Flintheart, be a Scrooge!
