COMMENTS:
Also, do you think people of means would or do down grade their lifestyle to feed the poor?
Voted : No
Back when I had the means to give, I did give regularly. Now I'm living on less than six hundred a month. As for the world, I think we care, but too many of us need to have it pointed out to us (the need to give to those in need, I mean). And, even then, we still don't take directions well.
And, to answer your question in Comments, I doubt it seriously. Too many of means think that either the token gifts they mae or the mere impetus of thier name recognition will drive others, too ften those who *don't* have the means, to give.
Voted : Yes
I could get rid of my YMCA membership, car (and get a bike instead) but that is the only "luxury items" that I really have anymore. We haven't has cable for years and have had $10.00 dial up for years as well... I give locally, I would *LOVE* to do more worldly, shit I could send $ 20 a month to a family overseas in extreme poverty. I guess I don't know of reputable organzations that help with that (let me know if you do). I know exactly how you feel Larry, my experience has been pure frustration because I have no clue where to start, or how to go about it.
Voted : Yes
I think we all do. Now I feel guilty.
I rambled on far too long in my ballot description
Voted : No
Out of sight, out of mind.
^ that's true, if we dont' see it's not really thought about
Voted : I donate and give away stuff when i can
Yes, we have a shitload of unnecessary things...but nothing we don't use and we're by no means well off but like even yesterday my husband had to go buy another bmx bike, it's a nice diamondback Skindog and we are getting about 300 dollars in tattoos next week so yeah, it seems we overdo it. I DO donate to shelters all the time though, and i think we give alot. We don't throw anything away, we fill up the bed of the truck and bring al the stuff to this church for the homeless...so we try... But i won't give my money to that fat Sally Struthers bitch, because my money goes DIRECTLY to them, and there's enough homeless near me to do that. I give to needy kids, we gave a woman 10 bucks last month for her "kids" but it probably went to drugs, i like giving it to the KIDS, like some of the kids are like 8 to maybe 13 and i pic kkids that are sweet mannered, not thuggish. when my kids are older i'm gonna buy skateboards for homeless and very needy kids in America...kind of like Mike Valelly does (a famous pro skater)
larry, you did just fine. Never doubt the words that come out of you.
