I hated the office racket for The United Way. We did have to give x %, and to mark it, you got
some dumb lucite thingie for your office. If you didn't go along, you'd get in serious trouble. Ridiculous. |

Last year, I gave to some black dude who had a great speech and persuaded $20 out of my wallet. This year he came back, told him I didn't have money to give out this year, and he called me a racist. OMG TWINSIES! Except my guy called it taxes. |

I have a real hate for bell ringers. I shop more at Target because they banned them from their doorsteps.
I refuse to add the buck to my electric bill. I pay enough to the selfish bastards. And my house is still chilly. The United Way is worse than the mob. They strong arm their way into paychecks 52 weeks out of the year. I also don't want to see that faux homeless dude on the exit off the highway with his dog begging for money. I saw him later in the day, spending his dough at Target, on a new cell phone. Without his dog. I guess he was just a handy prop. |

I would never give to the policemen fund. Those fuckers make good money and they hate minorities so fuck them.

Etx - I had a puzzle of your avatar. We worked on it for a month, then donated it to Goodwill so it could ruin someone else's life.
Like Jumanji. |

Does anyone send donations back to the charities that send the free return address labels? Cause I don't. Ever.
I did give to United Way every year at an old job, but mainly because if we donated we'd get an extra paid day off. |

Salvation Army hates trannies (go to Goodwill or one of the 1000 local thrift stores in your area).
Red Cross won't take homo blood (don't know a way around this besides lying). I sure as shit don't give to any fucking missionary fundraisers or Alternative Spring Breaks. "We're teaching Hondurans to read for one week out of a year, help me raise $1000 for a plane ticket when I could spend that money on paying someone here to teach people to read. I'm a loser." |

I won't give to religious charities or umbrella groups that include religious charities (United Way) - too many of them force their religion on anyone they
help
and I won't give to groups that spend more on mailings and newsletters than I give in donations - I used to give to Habitat for Humanity under my name, but got tired of the monthly newsletter and begging letters - now I do it anonymously |

I used to carry slips of paper with the phone number and address for labor ready as well as quarters in my pocket . I would hand those to bums who pestered me
for money . Id give em like 1.50 and the paper. plenty for a phone call and bus fare to get a days work back then. I had one get so pissed off he threw down
the change and the piece of paper and stomped off .. i picked the money back up !

Toys for Tots bothers me because for years I would buy a really nice toy thinking this was the only thing a kid would get for Christmas. Turns out the parents
go shopping basically where all the free toys are and get whatever they want for their kids.
Bell ringers I ignore too. They just put one in front of Hobby Lobby so I am avoiding that store until January. And the grocery store ones piss me off. One lady at the checkout got an attitude with me because I said no. If I am going to donate, it isn't going to be under their name so they get all the credit. The one I always donate to are the SPCA. |

I give to Christmas daddies, since the money stays local and goes to families who have nothing for Christmas.
At work, we put out a donation box and contribute anything we can - last year it was food for the Food Bank, this year, it's for the SPCA, so we're collecting blankets, food, litter, etc...... Everyone else can go fuck themselves. |

I like the bell ringers. At least they're doing something for the money.
Plus, the Salvation Army rocks. |

no Salvation Army, United Way or Boy Scouts. Nothing to anybody that comes begging me while I'm at work. the last bitty came begging got all offended when
I told her I don't give any money at work and I donate to my own. She literally would not speak to me for months. then she got fired and had her husband
come to the office and threaten the office manger. So then there was a whole restraining order thing and cops and all that bullshit. I laughed.

SOA brought politics into the Glee thread in OSTS, so I'm thinking Squashy still qualifies as an amateur.

What the hell does everyone have against the Boy Scouts?
(is there a thread in that?) |
