Just as pointless as it would be for me to pause and wonder "retrieve the chicken?!?!!!!" when I understood he just wanted me to take it out of the oven.
    I don't think 'retrieve the chicken from the oven for me' sounds wrong to be honest - though it would most likely be used if the chicken had been put in by accident, I doubt that it would cross my mind that they meant anything other than to get the chicken out.

    ataswin26's comment was regarding using the words 'persecution' and 'lynching', which came across as overly 'drama queen' in a thread about getting a discount at a charity shop - obviously you'd have to ask ataswin26 if that was their thought as well.

    No, but the strong majority of people here do play WoW, pretty poor choice of forum if you hate WoW. I dont come here for the political ideologies or tips on how to get cheap PC cases.
    Good for you. Maybe you should hang out in the Offtopic sections more and you'll see how many people don't actually play WoW.
    Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore

    The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

    Hey, at least you didn't give money to a "charity" that refuses to give homeless people food simply because they're gay.

    And OP, you're entertaining.

Im sure that extra 3 bucks could have bought a meal for a poor family.
    Yeah.... I agree. Haggling a few bucks when you can afford to build a new pc? For shame.

    "eyeballing this empty pc case at $3.99 and i want it so i wait for the right moment, And then i check today still there"
    "Also SA Corp have a policy to there store if item are not sold after 2 week they price drop"
    "I didn't haggle is was there for *correction 3 1/2 week* and i got the discount"

    Ya'll need to look up the meaning of haggle, or alternatively, read the posts of the thread maker instead of the posts of others. The price dropped after the item sat for 3 and a half weeks.

    Wow that's interesting. I'll admit, everything I know about the SA I learned from a book. Basically a piece of satire poking at the foundation during its early conception. What you said, however, sounds awfully similar to what the writer was poking at. Which means after close to 10 decades, they're still the same. Back then, according to the author, they only helped those they were able to first 'save'. Meaning the poor had to convert, or embrace god, to be able to eat. That led to most of the converts wearing only a facade of religion, which degraded the overall quality and message of the foundation.
    Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I've ever known.

    Yeah... Salvation Army the organization that'll fire people who've been with them for years on the basis of them being gay.

    I've been here a few times to shop, but I prefer goodwill. I bought a collectible bear for $2 and sold it for $75.
