Geez, some people should cut the man some slack...
I'm 100% sure he is not from the US and is in a country where entrepreneurship/business has a high entry barrier. Throw in that English is his second (or third) language and you get a post like this. I'm 100% positive if I posted on a non-English website in any language, I'd come across poorly.
The Millionaire Fastlane is new in some countries due to recent translations, but ten years old in North America... so these types of posts might seem more frequent.
It is important to note that the ease to get a business license and whip together a legal operation in some countries is a lot more difficult than you know in your North American bubble.
For example, if a government business license costs 5000 EU and you're broke, can you guys just understand a little smidgen of why someone would post, "How do I start making money freelancing?" If you don't have 5000 EU much less 500 EU for business registrations, I'm not sure how you guys can stand there and laughably chastise someone for getting started.
Peek outside of your bubble for just a few seconds and realize that life and business in Dallas Texas might not be the same in Naples Italy or Mumbai India.
When I lose patience on some posts that are clearly non-CENTS or non-Fastlanesque, I try to remember the above and that not everyone is operating on the same playing field, or starting at the same place.
