I understand why you would be reluctant to donate to a lady with a can. I would much prefer to donate through an organization than one lone person. She actually called you those name??? WTF? She had no right to do that. What gave her the right to judge you for not donating to HER can. She has no way of knowing whether or not you've already donated through some other source!!! That pisses me off... it's people like that that make me just wanna say F*** it and not even bother goin out of my way for others. Anyway, in my opinion, it doesn't HAVE to be money donated, it could be something like racinkid posted in the chit chat camp, a food drive or something like that. Either way it's goin for a good cause, and doing something like that you can be guaranteed your money is going to what you want it to go for
Exactly. It can be anyway someone is able to donate. time, food, money, whatever As for the lady calling me names, I laughed. You gotta laugh at something like that. Especially since I was getting in my work truck, with dirty work pants and shirt on, and my arms covered in dirt and grease.
I think it is appropriate to give tax breaks, and provide low cost loans in order to help people get back on their feet again.Geeze, why'd you go and have to make me think so hard. Now my head hurts. I need a beer.Erik
Second, it's the beer that made yer head hurt, the thinkin just intensified it... lay off the
I get off work in 2 minutes, and plan on going straight to the local watering hole, and...well...you know. I'll drink one for ya if you'd like....Erik
To follow this up, and get to the essential part of your post, I don't think we (as individuals) are "obligated" to do anything. I read the rest of your posts, and I would be EXCEPTIONALLY reluctant to donate if placed in the same situation as you. She probably would have called me a few more names, 'cause I'd have baited her just to get her blood pressure up a bit higher, and see if she'd pop. People like that have no excuse. Sorry to hear you had to put up with that.Erik
Third thought is how sad this country has become with people standing around waiting for their hand out. I had a dude walk up to me in the Kragen parking lot the other day... said dude, I won't lie. I just got off the road and I need some money for a drink. That man had no physically preventing ailments that would cause him to not go earn the money for a beer himself. He just figured it would be easier to live off our empathetic culture. I wanted to spit in his face for discracing his heritage that way. We are a great nation because the people before us busted their butts to make it what it is. But for some reason it has become socially acceptable to walk around with your hand out expecting honest hard working people to give you a fish when you already know how to fish yourself. Makes me sick.
gotta appreciate his honesty though.... although that's what he wants you to say.. .
At least he didn't tell you he was hungry and was starving and go off on a SOB story.. he said straight up what he wanted to use the money for... u know what i mean?
Yeah. As much as I did appreciate his honesty though, I just can't stomache people like tha including thousands (not all) playing the same song and dance in the south. Besides, I am certain if he had come accross an elderly couple it would have sounded alot more like the SOB starving story.
