You included PiKA in the "needing to think" category and that's why he responded as he did. LOL.

Asking questions for what? What is there to ask? LOL.

I wouldn't say you were not totally unmoved by the subject matter. You already said you were defensive based on your experiences.
This discussion is really quite funny to me because such discussions assume that people are so fragile that they can't hear some brutal truths even if the brutal truths don't apply 100% to their personal circumstances. Smart people who can let go of their ego for a minute are able to see whether their life choices have shaped their financial outcomes. That's one of the first lessons when talking to people within the Black community about poverty. If you're going to be all mad and assume that people are judging you (in general) just because they are only going based on the information in front of them (i.e. a flat screen TV when you're asking for financial assistance), you will have a very long financial road ahead of you.
