Jon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Is there a touch of irony in the fact that the film I'm watching on BBC1 right now was just talking about the children in the school giving money to Ethiopia to help feed them Having just read the last few pages Tony, if you are a heartless word removed, I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with you in that particular club. Spot on in everything you have said. Fellow right wingers standing arm in arm. How lovely. Makes you come over all warm and fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you come over all warm and fuzzy. either I'm not coming across how I wanted to in this thread or people aren't reading what I'm posting correctly (my money is on you all being wrong fwiw :-) ) what is right wing about not wanting to give aid to corrupt regimes ? ... it's a constant view , I won't eat in McDonalds so i don't' fund the IRA and I don't buy pirate videos so that I'm not funding terrorists (tongue and cheek ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 27, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2012 This has got out of hand. It's nothing to do with right wing/left wing. Tony's stance is perfectly valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just having a bit of a larf, and poking the nest with a stick. You should be free to give, or not give, to causes/charities as you see fit. I think anyone that gives anything to any 'good cause' is doing a good thing, irrespective of whether it all 'gets there' or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine Mr Loc puts a lot more towards 'good causes' than I do! My tenner a month to 'Breast augmentation for budding porn stars' is about all I stretch to ....

snowychap Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 either I'm not coming across how I wanted to in this thread or people aren't reading what I'm posting correctly Probably a bit of both but it's why I posted what I did about your not giving it to save humans comment. It seems a perfectly acceptable position to take to be very skeptical about donating to good causes when you think your donation may be diverted away from that good cause (be that to corrupt regimes, 'fat cats' or people running charities, paying themselves a wedge and doing little charity work) and, thereafter, to decide that a particular cause is unlikely to bear fruit or be as worthy of your interest as another; it would appear to be a crassly misanthropic leap to go from being a donor (interested in giving to save humans) whose illusions are shattered by the Djibouti exposé of '85 to someone who would rather not give to save humans. I have your comments in the former category but I stand to be corrected if I've read 'em wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have your comments in the former category but I stand to be corrected if I've read 'em wrong. what we need here is an ethics and morals thread I'm quietly confident we'll see some real mis reading of quotes once we have a more pius than you thread For my part, I wouldn't give any money to a new Live Aid 3 type campaign. I have never given a single penny to Children in Need other than the minimum to not cause a fuss in the office amongst the kids that give a fiver once a year and think they've saved the **** world. (for clarity I wouldn't pigeon hole myself as right wing by any stretch, I'm a kind of modern communist relaxed in his own skin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Maybe we should start a 'who gives the least to charity' thread? The winner receiving a £100 donation to the charity of his/her choosing. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 27, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2012 I consistently steal from charities. So I think I'd win. Don't worry about the donation. I'd only steal that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
