Same fits a lot of FReepers, as well. Some really big nay-sayers around here.
Grumpy cats! :)

How charitable of you...not even a little bit!
It’s not abot charity. After all, from a Christian perspective, the right hand should not know what the left hand is doing.

There is also the issue that the ALS group supports research using embryonic stem cells. Many of the sources of these are aborted children.

The purpose it to raise awareness and $$$...and is succeeding! I don't care what Rush thinks. Is he afraid of icy water? You, on the other hand, need to develop a mind of your own! The organization doing the most collecting supports embryonic stem cell research. I will donate to the organization that uses adult stem cells.

What it really comes down to is that different people are charitable in different ways. This sort of thing really got its start back when I was in high school (I graduated in 1972) and has really exploded. It’s great for kids and public figures. As for me, if a charity dollar (or minute) goes to one thing it means it is not going to another thing. I also hate pink ribbons because I believe the goal is not to cure cancer, but to make lots and lots of money “treating” cancer, and on the backs of volunteer time and money.
I’ve an acquaintence that was cured of stage 4 breast cancer via the Gerson Treatment. Dirt cheap but you need a good juicer...

Saw Charlie Sheen’s challenge yesterday. He dumped money on himself and said they need money and donated $10k.

LOL!!! I thought it was just my brain that jumps to Beavis and Butthead for crap like that.

ts sad isnt it? Even something that is meant to be fun is ruined by the politics. What's really sad is that this isn't even politics, it's just evil hate.

Happy for your friend.
I have a friend who was stage 4 with spots on brain and liver.
She went the chemo route and is alive and well today...cancer free...22 years later.

It’s really too bad they couldn’t do this kind of challenge (or something similar) to raise awareness AND support for Israel.
Not THAT is something I’d like to see.

Good fun, good cause. Don’t let the old farts of my age rain on your parade. So to speak.
