4chan saved someones life

[megaraccoon]

nice story pretty awesome.

 

[someotherguy]

This gives me a warm glow. Its nice to see that-despite all the greed, the materialism and pitch-blackness of 4chans heart- a little bit of light shines through.

How the hell is 4chan materialistic or greedy?

 

[Boba Frag]

Awwww. Now I feel all fuzzy and warm inside. ^^

Thanks for posting this! I needed cheering up. Broke two toes yesterday and now I can't drive home over Christmas. This thread has seriously improved my mood.

Sorry to hear that, dude! That's really lame

I was grouchy as feck today so I know what you mean by that warm fuzzy feeling

I was wondering what that searing pain in my chest was... turns out it was just indigestion, but for a while I thought it might be faith in the human race manifesting as a superpower

Merry Christmas everyone!

Pretty cool story, it's good to have nice stories like this every so often.

to bad the major news medias won't give it the time of day.
now if 4chan KILLED someone they would be all over that.

4chan... Internet Superheroes =)

Pfff. Christmas is stupid. Bah, bunch of humbugs.

Outside of my utter dislike for this time of year (WHY DO PEOPLE NEED AN EXCUSE TO NOT BEHAVE LIKE ASSHOLES?!?) that's pretty cool.

 

[sheogoraththemad]

god-damn /b/rothers I'm proud on you motherfuckers!..
but really it is nice to see something nice before Christmas..

 

[tthor]

where can i find this guy?

I wouldn't mind throwing a few bucks in his paypal

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Wait... what? Aren't 4Chan and Anonymous two different things?

Yes. 4chan is one of many sites that Anonymous chooses to populate.

 

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

I think that 4chan only hate big companies right? Not hungry strangers. At least they are hating the right people.

Well there is quite often a lot of hate towards beggers.

My friends hates on them all the time. "Panhandlers can make $200 a day. Blah Blah Blah, I want to survive on my musical talent" What do you think a musician is? A beggar who makes more noise than other people.

OT:This warms my heart. Not exactley shocked, I would have given a few dollars if I had a paypal and visited 4chan

The story about William J. Lashua is a better example of how kind 4chan can be

Story in a nutshell: old veteran looks for people for his birthday party, anonymous answers.

Oh my god I wish i had known about that...
Man that's true human kindness.

 

[rockera]

yay a happy story for once not the usual 10 people have been horribly murdered from the escapist
OP: it warms thi art to se such mirecules :')

(Note how I said from and not 4chan in general. It just took place there and the rest of them had nothing to do with it. )

Funny how no-one says this when it comes to things like gore, CP, and the rest of the things it supposedly has a bad reputation for.

Oh no, I don't associate that stuff with 4chan as a whole, just /b/. And people tend to remember the bad stuff over the good stuff any day of the week.

 

[GeorgW]

Wow, I'm not even sure if I can believe it Human beings on 4chan? With hearts and stuff?? That's just incredible! Let's tip off the onion!

 

[Eri]

That's what people don't get. Anonymous is the best of humanity. Anonymous is the worst of humanity. It is all encompassing. When retribution is required, it is dealt. When justice is required, it is served. And when kindness is needed, it is given.

Surely you can drive using your heel or by putting on some extra thick socks/band aids?

Nah, tried that. Toe's broken at the base, so putting pressure anywhere on the foot sets off the pain. Manageable perhaps, but simply too risky for my taste; half the country's covered in snow and ice, the drive home is about 700km, and being unable to perform an emergency brake under these conditions makes me wary... especially seeing how a good acquaintance of mine already bit the big one this year under similar circumstances.

 

[Littlee300]

huh...so not all of anon is bad then? only most of it.

You need to see deeper into things.. This can inspire rest of anon. It will give them pride, ambition, and contempt for greed.

I shouldn't stay up too long I am sounding like yoda (does yoda sound like? I never watched star wars...)

Dude...that is beautiful beyond fucking belief. I'll embed it, because that deserves more views:
All in all, Anon's still made up out of simple human beings, and it shows.

A quote from that vid:

Anonymous is only heartless to those that deserve it.

Those deserving of cruelty in the eyes of anonymous are different than those deserving in the eyes of the general public, but the general public is blinded by political correctness and pandering to hysterical concerned parents.

At its heart, Anonymous has clear, unpolluted logic that is tough to find otherwise.
