Jauronimo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Maybe the "Ice Bucket Challenge" is the place inside each of us created by our goodwill and donations??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I saw what you did Jack! Pizza and chocolate? Send them to my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 it's "funny", granted it's only been about 2 hours, but the thread that nominated me has several likes and comments for my friend doing the challenge on video, but no likes or comments on my photo of my donation... Maybe post that picture as a new post in your FB feed, instead of as a reply to the person that challenged you, will get more likes. I had to search to find it in order to "like" it.

Chef Jim Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Maybe I misunderstood the article, but: It's never enough. One can't just donate to a charity now. You have to donate more. When does it stop? A percentage of my income? Don't mean to sound like a dick, but no thanks. If/when I donate the money I earn, by working a job that I don't particularly care for, I'll donate it to a charity (or charities) of MY choosing. I won't say anything about it, and won't claim it on taxes. What a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 no, my intention wasn't to be noticed by the masses, if i posted that separately then I am no better than the others.... Maybe post that picture as a new post in your FB feed, instead of as a reply to the person that challenged you, will get more likes. I had to search to find it in order to "like" it.

boyst Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'll donate to anyone's cause that is justified. But I won't be given an ultimatum for anything. Thus, I will not do an ice bucket challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 When will this end. It has jumped the shark. I am All for donating money to this cause but the constant social media videos and LAMPS are getting obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 They are selling raffle tickets at work. The winners get to dump ice water on our boss. I bought tickets to donate to ALS but will not claim a winner. I donate to help a deserving cause. GIMMEE AN ' F ' LOL Follow up. I actually held a winning ticket. The winners were supposed to be on a video, that will be circulated throughout the company and probably FB. I gave the ticket to someone who really wanted to be part of "that". I also verified 100% of the funds were going to ALS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I'm conflicted with this trend. A+ job by whichever organization had the foresight to capitalize on peoples' social media attention whoring, group think guilt complex and need to be recognized and thanked for giving a damn (or at least pretending). A+ for raising serious money which will hopefully be spent wisely. F for the people who didn't donate but still want a medal for "raising awareness" (my new least favorite term). F for the self righteous guilt trips being dumped all over the place like ice water. F for contributing to a culture whereby liking or retweeting is an acceptable substitute for actually doing something. B+ for the blooper reels. Should I "Like," retweet or "+1" this?

Gugny Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 If we've learned nothing else from this, we've learned that Boyst is a wimp and Kevin is a dick. And it's very likely that Poojer didn't really donate anything to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
