I must admit, I am quite sceptical about some of the charities. There are some that I feel comfortable giving to and others I am not really so sure of.

Hunge, not drunge!

That's my motto.

Shawnee123 · 11-12-2008, 03:59 PM

We need a group hunge.

DanaC · 11-12-2008, 04:00 PM

I wonder if that's good exercise?

It is if a cat is involved.

Aaah, I am actually friends with the homeless, so sometimes I give nothing, sometimes I just give change, or sometimes I have the car they are living in towed so it can be fixed.

Yeppers. I have me some beggar friends. I can be friends with anybody. Anybody that isn't a dick.

I've had friends that were homeless and who have begged, but I lost touch with them when I left Bolton.

Same here. I'm not about to give to an organization that will waste a good portion of my donation. A big reason why I like non-profits handling social issues rather than the Feds, the gov tends to be inefficient. If you can't find a local organization that you see as worthy of your monetary donation, might I suggest try just volunteering your time? Somewhere like a food bank for example. Just a thought

Guess I'm out then.

Cicero · 11-12-2008, 06:45 PM

Well there are exceptions to that too. It depends on whether I like the manner in which someone is a dick. You are no example of this, but I do know some people that are.

Heh.

I have absolutely no desire to volunteer my time in a foodbank.
