*face it.....most people don't really THINK (beyond surface level) about anything.......shampooing their hair TWICE .....because it says so on the bottle...........
*local has a serious disease / house burns down.....?.
*good luck with donations.....but throw a CONCERT.....where I am entertained.....and can get drunk......POOF!.....I am all in now ...........note: my donations sure still a good thing.....but you can still laugh at how ridiculous I am............especially if I constantly preach about what a "good Christian" I am.... how much "I care"......how much "I live for others".......(most WOMEN)
NFL?.......and all this breast cancer BS.....>a simple / effective 100% marketing ploy *mortality rates?......one of the LEAST deadly (about 18th it seems) total deaths?....about a fourth as many die as from lung cancer ....so why not lung / colon / reproductive...or pancreatic instead? ...
WHY?.....is the only response to these OPINIONS ....simple OBSERVATIONS.......always > so giving is a bad thing?....
*where has anybody said that?..............
Humble when ambitious - gracious when successful - resilient when you fail.

the problem here......and everywhere else *in having a decent debate is this......IMO
example....
here the OP is basically saying the UNDERLYING motives behind taking this ice bucket challenge ...... is NOT one of generosity or altruism.....but of self-interest *egoism might be a better term?......as narcissism suggests images of superiority / dominance ....etc. < (but in a broad sense applied to maybe......Americans in general....fits like a glove)
the counterpoint to this would be to argue that .... *NO.....folks seem to be absolutely caring / genuine etc....
then off we go ........
NOT.....to introduce another point......"so you're saying.....".. *either because you don't understand the OP's point......or have no opinion.......you see this in virtually every thread here wtf

The actual story behind is pretty cool...but I don't feel like someone should be "called out" to donate to a charity. I also strongly feel as though 90% of the people doing the challenge either don't know to donate to ALS or don't know what ALS actually is.
Personally, I will donate to those charities that directly affect myself or my family. Right now, that is cancer, and I am proud to donate to the Jimmy Fund and the Jimmy V Foundation every year.
Sorry to hear about cancer affecting you/you're family and I hope all turns out well. The Jimmy V Fund is remarkable because how many foundations give 100% of donations to the research? I don't know how much of donations goes directly to the ALS research but 100% for the Jimmy V Fund is insanely amazing and I get choked up every time I hear that speech.
