76. mohamed,

You are a very rude person. If you really read what kris wrote you would understand that you shouldn't make fun of people with disabilites, she didn't say anything about your comment on skreetch.

you weenie,
julie

77. he should've punched himself in the face, not just to make the story more believable, but because he's an idiot.

79. I believe that this guy is trying anything to get attention. First he expects everyone to send money to pay for his house. If he's this poor, how can he affort expensive psp games? Face it Screech, your minute of fame is over!

80. Mohamed,
What a shame...we can't even call you "unique" because you don't even have a brain worthy of that. All you can do is spread hatred and derogatory comments about people. At least Screech's plan to save his house was legal and didn't hurt anyone. What does religion have to do with that? Is that all you've got to pick on? It's people with thoughts like you that make this world a sad place. And... with a name like Mohamed I'd be careful what you say and to whom.

81. Poor Dustin. He made $5 million from all those years doing that stupid show (which obviously EVERYBODY watched since you all know who "Screech" is). Unfortunately as has happened with too many child actors, his father ripped him off for everything he made beyond that modest house he was able to buy. And when the guy had no other place to stay, Dustin let him come and live with him. The guy's a mensch! (Hear that you bigoted pieces of crap, Mohammed and Faheem?) Give him a break. And he was on a sitcom for many years that's STILL running in syndication. He may be a has-been, but he had more than "15 minutes of fame" as Andy Warhol phrased it originally. That phrase is more applicable to "American Idol" finalists and participants on "The Real World."

83. Maybe she wanted her money back from one of those t-shirts he was hawking to save his house.

84. Oh my gosh! Another child actor gone bad. It is so sad that some of these child actors don't know how to "integrate" into normal life. If the acting career is over, they should get a regular job or some technical training or go to college.
Why go on to make fools of themselves? Is that how they want to be remembered? I'd much prefer to be remembered for my part in the show I was in, that a grown up fool...

86. What is this guy doing spending money to travel around the country when he is pan handling to save his home. What a scam!!

87. I didn't listen to the audio link, but maybe he was attempting to rape her and this is him getting his side out before she hires an attorney! I'm sick of Mr. Diamond and his "poor me" story - he was on the radio stations all over the Milwaukee area crying about his parents stealing his SBTB money, his neighbors gawking at him (ah, he's a "celebrity" in a small WI town!), he's called the police on his neighbors about 5 times in 3 years just for looking at his house, and now the foreclosure thing where he was "taken" by some broker in New York. Grow and take some responsibility for you life already!!!

88. Thought the same thing about Josh and Dustin.They could have been separated at birth.They even sound alike.

89. Screw Screech. Artie from the Stern show offered him $10,000 to do a 10 min opening act when Screech was crying how poor he was (mind you, the show was in his home town of Pittsburgh).

hope u lose ur house
