Charity

[Toe Cutter]

Do any of you give to charity? If so, what do you choose to donate to?

[HempKnight]

I used to... but after getting
screwed by a couple benefits
I did... it all left a bad taste.

I find it much easier to give
where it's needed directly,
instead of a large corporate
money laundering scheme....
and at this point, I'm my
favourite charity since I have
not the resources nor funds
for myself let alone anyone
else right now.

I do from time to time. Animal welfare.

[BloodredProject2402]

i do to animal organiations when i have some extra money laying around and i feel bad for them.....and i dont know if you could consider it charity but the few friends i have spend the night from time to time when things are too hot at thier places

[OliX]

I pay hookers for my money... is that some kind of charity too?

*well I don't pay for hookers but it went trough my mind atm.... the idea of charity hook ups

[Morning Glory]

not really olix, especially if you have sex with them.

[Morning Glory]

whoops, as for the question goes.. I don't really attend thousand dollar plate dinners to save the owls and shit, but I usually always give my change to any local childrens/medicine organizations like that have the donation jars around town and really just to anyone that I think can use it more then I can. also most of the cds and books that I buy are benefits IE: they are put out to raise money for a particular charitable cause.

I volunteer myself to "The Bondage Clown Youth Of Tomorrow" Foundation... Converting 15 Teens into Midget lovers everyday.

Hey someone had to do it....


Seriously, I try to do volunteer things at theatres... Better than donating money.. I think

[Pull~My~Hair]

fuck I need charity lol...sometimes I give money to bums on the side of the intersections and what not...but only if their sign is funny...

[sheramil]

charity.. interesting idea.

let's see. i've got just enough money for the rent this month. and the electricity bill. no money for food or new clothing, though.

hey! let's give all of the money to the "Save the Tawny-Mouth Possum" charity! brilliant. that will make everything ALL BETTER.

[Mr Karl]

I give money to beggars, cause I know what they're going to do with it

actual charities, war amps, because accidents happen and they could happen to me

[BloodredProject2402]

haha, i guess sheramil doesnt give sharity!

[sheramil]

haha, i guess sheramil doesnt give sharity!

i give sharity on an individual basis, within my extremely limited means. i give lifts to hitch-hikers (despite this being illegal here). i regularly do dictation for a disabled friend who's too sick to type.

...

SF writer Theodore Sturgeon once said he wanted to march up to the front of the church, past the collection dudes and the priest, and slap a $100 down on the altar, saying "That's for God. nobody else touch it."

woops, meant charity, not sharity.... as for the illegeal hitch hiking, where is it illegeal?

[mmmcherry]

pretty much everywhere in canada and the US its illegal i think :S i see signs everywhere saying its illegal to pick up hitch hikers, but people do anyways. i guess most of them arent serial killers

my friend jessi is enrolled to do the weekend to end breast cancer walk here in vancouver, which is totally awesome, its 60 km over 2 days, and she has to raise 2000 dollars just to be in the walk itself, and it all goes to breast cancer research. me and her are thinking up ideas to raise money for her walk hah if anyone has any ideas too, lemme know!

go jessi!!!

[Pull~My~Hair]

[mmmcherry]

well... I DON'T give money to beggars knowing where it goes As you should know I come from country formaly known as Yugoslavia and one of the biggest minorities in YU were gipsies... and story goes like this: make as much kids you can to beg for you, disable them as a babies so they can beg more efficient for you... you know, they realy break your legs as a baby so you could get more chance to get the money...

I personaly knew one "chief" of the family back in my hometown... he has big 2 floors house, 2 cars, lot's of gold (funny gipsies trade all they can in gold) and when I asked him once why does he still beg he answered: How do you think I gained all this wealth you fool... and I felt like a fool back then

[Mr Karl]

Ha ha , yeah I remeber those gypsies, here's what I'd do, I'd hand them pliers(yeah, I cant leave home without pliers) point at thier gold teeth and say "I PAY, I PAY" . Besides, gypsies aren't beggars, they're gypsies, and I do love the way they can rob the dummies, they are true artists

[Mirren]

I give to the homeless one on one not through any organization.

[Anarkey]

i give to 3 ,, 1]The Children with hair loss .> cancer surviors and other treatments ,,, 2]Cancer fund of america,,,and the Center for missing and exploited children ,

[mmmcherry]

ohh yeah my friend chelsea every year used to grow her hair out real long, then cut it off at her shoulders and donate the cut hair to a place that made human hair wigs for cancer patients
damn her hair grew fast... she did that once a year and donated like a foot of hair every time.

[Anarkey]

yup its a good cause ,
