I know for me it would suck a lot more than taking yucky medication or losing my hair or being bored in the wing of a modern hospital. | ||

Wouldn't it suck to wonder if you're going to wake up tomorrow? If you're going to find enough food to avoid dying of starvation in a ditch? I know for me it would suck a lot more than taking yucky medication or losing my hair or being bored in the wing of a modern hospital. When you donate 15k to kids, you know almost all that money is going to kids. When you donate 15k to africa, you have no idea where its going. People have been throwing millions of dollars at africa for years and its still a horrible situation. Why is this so you ask? 1. Massive politcal oppresion from many governments in africa. 2. Multinationals exploiting 3rd world resources and supporting said oppressive governments. If you decide to donate to africa, NGOs are pretty much the only way to go unless you just want to give free stuff to dictators who will just take most international help in the end. You really need to know what you are doing when donating and these guys are really trying to help someone in something they know which is video games. | ||

Oh great purveyor of truth, martyr of justice, guide us to this charity that you are running! But in all seriousness, you're a moron. The charity chosen for this event is perfect for their target audience. Holy shit, a charity that provides video games for SICK CHILDREN receives a lot of donations from a site founded around a VIDEO GAME!!?!?!? I've met people like you in pretty much all the service work I've done, from habitat for humanity to soup kitchens to the red cross. Go get your fucking sense of self righteousness somewhere else (In a third world country maybe?) | ||

I'm not going to give this a full dressing-down because this thread doesn't deserve the derail, but it's a pretty good sign that you should avoid posting when in the course of making your post you actually manage to make the plight of children suffering from all manner of life-threatening ailments sound unimportant, regardless of the quality of life they experience. | ||

You really need to know what you are doing when donating and these guys are really trying to help someone in something they know which is video games. Valid point. That's why I am of the opinion that we should be using the talent of people like the directors of Child's Play to do something to directly oversee the sending of humanitarian aid (worth only pennies in relation) that is donated to help the destitute and skeleton-built children instead of guaranteeing that your generous gift will provide a modern hospital patient with a pricey entertainment device. And we should be using the talent of people like Geoff Robinson to provide the donors someone who can inspire them to give to such an ideal foundation that can accomplish it with no question. I know lawn care. Are your generous dollars being used to their maximum potential by gifting lonely nursing home patients with pricey new ferns to water in their windows? | ||
