overthere Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 And I am sure you are nervous about what Leo will have to say about our beautiful northern Alberta province. Personally, I am looking forward to it. I'm equally sure you are looking forward to it, I'd expect nothing less or nothing else. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!

WestCoastRunner Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Much as you might like to believe, Canada is not above the scrutiny of organizations tasked with looking after the best interests of our planet.

WWWTT Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 You provided some very good details here WCR! The cancer charities you gave the breakdown for is in a more articulate form and for me at least is more believable and convincing that it would be a worthy donation spend. Very unlike the vague ALS pie chart with simple open to interpretation descriptions. Kudos for you lady, sounds like you've done worthwhile research on various charities!!! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00! Down over $1,500 in less than one year! Total fail of the moderation on this site! That reminds me, never ask Greg to be a business partner! NEVER!

However, my post was to highlight the discrepancies between research dollars spent on ALS and Cancer Research, but of course you knew that. ALS has nothing to apologize for.

WWWTT Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Ya of course ALS has nothing to apologize for! People ALREADY gave them a windfall many times over! And many people will give them money many times over again for many years to come! And all for a gimmick! Oh ya by the way, where does it say the CEO of ALS works 40hrs/week 50 weeks a year? Do you know how much these people work for the money they receive? Sounds like you ASSUME a lot here lady! And really, it's non of my business where you spend your money! If you want to give it to ALS then good for you! If you want to give money to Israel so that they can go kill babies, then good for you, I don't care! Got more news for you lady, know who else doesn't care if a cure is found for ALS, ALS! You think they really want to see their jobs dry up? WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

Boges Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Under WWWT's logic no donation to a charity is worthwhile. Do people in poverty industry really want poverty to go away? Edited September 1, 2014 by Boges Quote
WWWTT Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Nice fairy tale! That's either a fairy tale that you believe, or a fairly tale that you are trying to spread. You pick one! Donated to very many worthy charities in the past and will continue into the future. It is unfortunate we need charities to help the less fortunate and whom are victims through no fault of their own. After the Haiti earthquake several years back, I found out the 200$ I donated to world vision, only 40 actually went to help the victims! So I said never again! Research before you give!!! If you feel that ALS has a good track record, then that's your choice and I do not care where you send your money. But I haven't seen anything that would convince me. As well, I wouldn't give one freekin penny to any charity from the US! If the US has billions to spend on drone strikes, funding wars and funding Israel kill babies, then they don't need my money for squat! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

Boges Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) I'm just commenting on your logic. Why would any charity want to solve a problem? They'd be out of a job. You're hating on ALS cuz it's trendy. Will you hate on prostate cancer in November when people have mustaches or in October when football players are wearing pink for breast cancer? Why all the runs and rides during the summer? People shaving their head? Ultimately it's all about marketing Edited September 2, 2014 by Boges Quote
WWWTT Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 I'm going to explain to you why you are a piss poor debater (at least proven in this thread) 1)You claim to know my logic 2)You also make a false claim that I "hate" the ALS charity You have done this because you simply do not like my opinion, or do not how to respond, or simply do not like me. Or some other reason that eludes me. Either way, I give a rats ass about what you think of me. You have clearly proven, that by resorting to these borderline forum rule infringement tactics, that you sir, are a PISS POOR DEBATER! And I think we're done here. If you want to respond, go right ahead, but I seriously doubt at this point of time that you have any intent on discussing ALS or any other charities unless you must add how you know my logic or how I feel. If you do, you will just further prove how much a piss poor debater that you are when you try to debate with me! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

Boges Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Do you have evidence the ALS charity has no interest in finding a cure? You've made that claim. Edited September 2, 2014 by Boges Quote
cybercoma Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 You can't compare the charities of two different diseases directly. The costs associated with research, patient care, and public education/outreach are going to be very different. Quote

Big Guy Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Posted September 8, 2014 According to YouTube, videos relating to the Ice Bucket Challenge have now received over 1 billion hits. That's one thousand million hits. That's a lot of hits. Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
overthere Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 MY BIL posted a funny Ice Bucket Challenge. It involved an ice bucket, a chequebook, a glass and a bottle of good single malt Scotch. He did not get wet on the outside. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!

overthere Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 I doubt he knew anything about Patrick Stewart. He is much more familiar with the single malt. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
