Silenced Fred Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I woke up late today, had half an hour to get to school for a test in my math class. The drive usually takes about 35 minutes. I got stuck at a red light, and it usually takes about 45 seconds to a minute because it is a high traffic area. Despite how agitated I was, for some reason, one of the people asking for donations to support children with mental illnesses tapped on my window and asked to donate. I did, gave him a few bucks, and I hit every green light after that and showed up at 7:59 for the class that starts at 8. Just thinking about it now, wow. Take time in life, I have now learned this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Haha well unfortunately I think I'll just pay the ticket because if I don't it will grow exponentially. At least I wasn't in LA. My friend was a couple minutes over on a meter once and he got nailed with like a $70 ticket. It's pretty frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Whatever you believe, it never hurts to pay it forward. +2, I mean I was told by my neighbor, who was a preacher, "never give more than you can afford." I have a decent job (for an 18 year old college student) and I could afford to donate a few bucks. I don't get people who "donate" only for a tax write off. That's not a donation. I can believe what I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I don't get people who "donate" only for a tax write off. That's not a donation. I agree 100%. Mrs. Neo and I have NEVER taken charitable deductions for that very reason. When I'm President, I'm gonna have to really look long and hard to find a reason for government to subsidize charity.

When I'm President, I'm gonna have to really look long and hard to find a reason for government to subsidize charity. Donating is a sacrifice you make because you care about a cause or want to help someone out. It's not "look at me, I donated and am now holier than thou" attitude. That pisses me off. That's BS and if I couldn't afford to donate, I wouldn't. I try to whenever I can, and during the "holiday season" of december (gotta be PC nowadays ) I hardly have any spare change around because I keep some in my coat pocket to throw in the Salvation Army buckets. Why? because I feel like it. And for the people that will think "aha! I can throw this in his face because he was talking about donating, he's a hypocrite." I'm only saying this because I was amazed at what a little bit does. To me, it made a difference. Karma is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Like I said.... No Jews to speak of in my area. Even fewer Africans celebrating the other stuff.

46 and 2 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I am big on giving and helping people out but I believe in doing it one person at a time. The first beneficiary of my charity I chose to help was me. I put my self through college, got a good job then put my wife through college and bought a few guitars then began giving to my children’s charity. My charitable act is keeping a roof over our heads and food on our table and hopefully sending my kids to college then having a little something to retire on. I guess I miss the feel good high from helping the entire world by putting change in a bucket, see I am only helping four people and six guitars stay off the streets, ahh charity, it’s a beautiful thing ain’t it?!? Think globally but act locally, take care of your family now so the system doesn’t have to later mmmk, thanks for playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
