    I guess there is a difference between asking for oneself and asking for others.

    Personally I only give to organisations that I know well enough personally, and I know the money will get to where it is intended.

    Because the human race being what it is, greedy, selfish, power mad, if they didn't beg they wouldn't get, I agree I get fed up with it, but do we get fed up it in the comfort of our homes, maybe whilst watching TV with a nice meal, and a beer or glass of wine, I wonder how many of the kids that there raising money for have that problem

    it rather is a 2d possibility for human beings to verify an answer i gave to a matching question some hours in the past. Sorry, It does no longer something for me, As I even have grown older my attitudes and priorities have replaced. the place as quickly as i concept shall we alter the international by making use of clubbing jointly, and assisting one yet another out, I now have come to understand the quantity of egocentric b******ds accessible waiting to place our monies into their own pocket. Now-days I refuse element clean to offer to any company, pondering the undeniable fact that merely a small volume of my donation is going to the reason I even have donated to. for this reason, If say i choose to donate to an animal team, I submit a cheque to a particular animal look after, quite than the nationally marketed animal foundation of the day. For say an elderly persons contribution, i might quite donate to a particular homes 'Day time out, than provide to a countrywide charity collector. placed merely, i like to think of that a hundred% of the money I donate is going the place i like it to flow, and 0% is going into the pocket of a few profiteer . Rant Over, thank you for analyzing

    What I found really shocking was the other night whilst watching Fame Academy, they showed repeats of trailers showing what they did with the money from last year. That makes me suspicious - it would be a little more positive if they showed us clips of where the money had gone instead of repeats of depressing stories they showed us two years ago................

    Charity is a response to begging. Begging is the asking for money.
