Charities are stupid

[Sabbath]

You are:


-helping people you don't know
-pretending to be good, but really not
-spending good money on people who will die anyways
-wasting your time


Your views on this?

You've put it perhaps a little bluntly, but in theory you are indeed correct. Also, it makes me sick that they ask/beg for money through adverts on TV - that is too far.

You are helping people who dont have things you do (take Britain for example, invaded so many countries, like India, who used to be the richest country in the world, and now they are poor cos of Britian ...).
And you are being good as you are helping people ...
Everyone will die, so why do you go shooping and buy food and clothes???
And you arent watsing your time as you are helping someone.

india is not all poor at all. it's got one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

not all charities are to save people - infact i'm more inclined to donate to a charity that helps in this country than anywhere else

Only charities I'd give to would be ones that get the homeless off the streets in Britain, because that's a cause that affects me and my country. Essentially people give to charity to makes themselves feel good, as though they're doing something wonderful so they can be at peace with themselves giving a couple of quid when they could realistically afford so much more. If people truly believed in equality and giving everyone the same chances they'd give up EVERYTHING that they didn't need for a cause.

"spending good money on people who will die anyway" is a bit harsh
in 100 years time everyone whos on this forum will be dead, so why do you spend money on yourself if you're going to die anyway?
bit harsh me thinks

[Swinkid]

Meh, i fail to see why you think they are 'stupid' from the above reasons, but the point of charity is to try and STOP them dying, but if they do die its just bad fortune. but atleast they TRIED to help.
I think you have put this abit to bluntly.

[N-Dubz]

Thats a really selfish attitude, lol.
The whole point is to give to a charity because you care about other people obviously if you dont then, dont give?
They might not die actually, many have been saved or have lived longer because of peoples donations.
So your saying Mother Teresa or w/e and Princess Diana, was not just naturally good caring people that wanted to help? They actually are.

An plus its not always people your helping, sometimes your helping animals, helping countries and helping hospitals.
Its not fair to say that everyone that gives to charitys is just 'pretending'.
Its not a waste of time, giving £2 a month to Animal helping charitys etc which isn't alot is not wasting time its actually helping?
I respect people who give **** loads of moneys to charitys, if I ever got Cancer or I was a kid in africa, I would want people to help me.
Charitys help us, and make us feel good - because we did something for someone in the world we don't know.

Its also like saying, giving someone your organs that seriously need it that you don't know is silly, it aint its just helping, its people's selfish attitude why many people die nowdays and charitys people, help us do out bit for the world.

i only reckon you're saying that to cause an uproar.
it's clear everyone has the morality to know that giving and helping with charities is not wasting time - you just want to prove yourself as snobbish when really it just makes you look like a fool.

It's REALLY bad.

NSPCC & The RSPCA Should be ashamed. Even cancer research does it!
