If Elijah doesn't change the graphics back, he is going to loose half the pledges

I'll tell you what Ron Paul would do. Refund people's money if he didn't do what he said.

Have YOU seen the site? The TERMS OF PURCHASE? NO REFUND? Have you SEEN THAT?

Ok, give ME YOUR MONEY THEN. Be Trusting. You have nothing to lose (but your hard earned money)

are you going to buy me a blimp? if so, then maybe i would.
however i don't have any, as i am a highschool student and i find is despicable that you are on here yelling at people and dividing people, not having our principle goal in mind, which is peace and freedom by way of ron paul.

and i think the no refunds aspect is perfectly acceptable. they get the money, they shouldn't have to worry about refunding it and making more. i would do that too with a 350+ grand project.
 
Good job Elijah,
It is tough to make decisions but they have to be made.

There is no consensus of what should go into the design, so you can't please everyone. I'm a marketer and I have not seen a proposal that is clearly better than the one you have chosen. I do think it looks fantastic though.

Continued good luck. I think the great majority will like the design and continue to get excited about the project.

Don't get too negative people. Advice is fine as it becomes a resource for improvement.
 
I believe it is acceptable that we pay these two a salary for their work with our donations, but I want to know what that salary is.

Just because the operation was set up as a "for profit company," it does not mean that they will necessarily be making any money or earning a salary. It probably couldn't be a non-profit for legal reasons.

1. I'll do what they're doing. YES. I'll sell you advertising space on a blimp if you give me half a milion dollars.

2. I'm NOT a high school kid. I'm FAR removed from high school. I've SEEN TONS of SCAMS since then. Just like they're doing.

3. They shouldn't have to worry about refunding a half million dollars?

Seriously. How much money DO you have. I'll take whatever it is.

Unlike Elijah, I DON'T HAVE A HOUSE OR CAR to worry about making payments on. It must be NICE.
 
I'll wait for more info like everyone else.

If I'm making a contribution and things don't work out, I'd expect a return of funds (minus 5% expenses) to be returned. Don't get me wrong... I want the blimp project to pull through! You need to change the "NO REFUND" clause in the "terms" agreement to reflect our concerns. Then this project can go forward! If you trust someone, put it in writing! It's a complement and fair business practices too.

Really? NO reason. Like, using the RON PAUL FORUM to MAKE MONEY? No reason huh? To tell them to TAKE IT ELSEWHERE?

Oh, yes there is.

okay well then since you don't have to make payments, i say you start your own blimp endeavor. get it all together, and don't make a salary since you don't need one.
youre not seeing my point. all the money they recieve should be guaranteed. someone shouldn't donate like 10 grand, and then be able to get it back. thats not good, especially when we're still trying to get this off the ground. and why would i give you my money, you cannot relate you asking someone on a forum (especially a minor) for money to buying a blimp from a company. ones legit, ones just..you
 
I'm sorry man I can't take you seriously, not with that tranny pic you have

The whole point is to turn people onto politics and wake them up. It would be nice to be able to give children a toy blimp and show them that politics can be fun, and good guys win sometimes.

If you take that away, what do you have? That is what the revolution in love is. politics. (note the reversal this time).

We really need something about the election on there. I don't want people or our kids scared of mentioning it
anymore, like its beyond them. I want it in their grasp, like its part of them.

Toy Ron Paul Blimps would be cool, or RP blimp shaped balloons filled with helium and released next to the real blimp. Free blimp balloons for the kids.
Just thinking, I didn't read the whole thread 'cos too many people criticizing so it may have been suggested.

:)
 
pot. kettle. black.

I don't think its that bad. I didn't think it was the best, but that doesn't mean I "hate" it like some of the agitators on here have been driving a consensus for.

I'm not consented to it. Its a pretty good design. My nitpicking doesn't mean I'm now agreeing with the hate the blimpers. Guess thats the problem with agitators. Make other people seem to agree with them when they don't by their loud, rude behaviors. :cool:

who's agitating now?
I don't see anywhere in that quote that suggests mr. cartman is being "loud and rude."
remember, it's okay to dissent if you don't agree with something.

you should start a new thread, this has been suggested before but i think its a great idea. now that the idea is in motion we need to look at it close, and i don't want it getting lost in this mess. :)
 
for those in doubt: just take the f-ing gamble :P
a little distrust isnt bad, but tbh... this project has honesty written all over it! if you want that blimp in the air, just donate for crying out loud.
 
This is so simple guys.

We can move forward today and get lots of contributions!

Just remove the "NO REFUND" statement in the "terms" contract.

Say if the blimp does not fly, you will receive ninety five percent returned of your original contribution. That's reasonable for good business faith on both sides.

I figure 5% cost already expended is a reasonable amount. So What's the problem?

With that said... let's get the blimp up in the AIR!

I didn't say mr. cartman, THE TV CHARACTER KNOWN FOR BEING LOUD AND RUDE, was being loud and rude. I said that everyone, like me, that criticized parts of the blimp didn't "hate" it like he claimed, but it may have seemed that way because of a few loud and rude posters.

Really, if we can keep this up, we will get an incredible number of new users on here, and that will be worth something too :D Welcome aboard, #6.
