and yet you are a total jerk at work if you don’t contribute to all there BS fundraisers. There is at least one going on every day at my work. And most of the local organizers mean well, they are just mindlessly devoting to a concept without realizing the other agendas being funded.
Interesting that you brought that up.
Here at work, the ladies were given permission to solicit donations for Komen.
When one of them came around asking, I was perturbed as hell because us Scouting (BSA & GS) parents are not allowed to even display and sell Boy Scout popcorn, or the GS cookies. Even leaving an order form at the snackbar is prohibited, yet they could come in and request a donation for Komen.
Anyway, I explained to the gal that I don’t donate $$ to an organization, that by extension, is an abortion provider.
Then I asked her “Doesn’t it seem peculiar that an organization trying to fight breast cancer is funding a “procedure” that has been shown to contribute to breast cancer?”
She just walked away shaking her head.
You’re absolutely correct, they are just mindlessly devoting themselves to a concept which they have no understanding of.
