this thread is so apropos
today I left my house and went across the street to buy groceries
in the 150 or so feet i travelled I got bothered by : Save the Children, Amnesty International and Greenpeace.
on the way back two of the same dweebs asked me for money - I was 'still no'.
so in the 30 minutes I was gone I check my phone messages : sure enough
Big Brothers want money or crap and Firefighters Burn Fund wants money.
In my mail box I have the Childrens Hospital crap, some disease run-n-walk, and Orphans Fund.
and i wont even go what is in my spam box of email.
If I were to give to half of these charities of what they consider a minimum donation I would not have any money left.
and yes sometimes they get really aggressive - which part of I am a student did they not get.
pisses me off.
