Sounds interesting!

I've definitely been feeling the constant guilt of not attending
every single fundraiser that's been on for this, rather
than just directly giving the money to the redcross or medicine etc (me not know no french)
I had to put up with filthy looks for not going to lunch in yamamori
who where giving a days takings to the appeal, at this stage
I nearly feel like giving out printed cards stating my monthly donations
to concern and amount given to other causes to get them to back the fuck off.
Some causes give people the opportunity of appearing particularly caring
this being one of them, it's good that people give but this fucking rightousness coming from people who have an awareness of third world problems for all of 10 seconds is getting a bit much.

I think it's important for charities to realise that "fundraising" begins with the syllable "fun".

So does Funeral.

And Fungal Growth.

and ends with the word 'draising' - The act of cleaning dead animals with a solution of alcohol and olive oil.

i like putting on a really serious face when they stop me or a mate and say gravely
"hey man, you realise that what you're doing here is seriously fucked up?"

then walk away in the moment of shocked silence, before they realise i'm kidding

seriously tho... i'm not sure about the ethics of stopping people in the street to put the guilt on them.

aparantly its the most lucrative method for the charidees. Although it is a job for those dudes, so they are making money off other peoples suffering, while helping them. Oh i dont know, its a compicated issue.

well seeing as we have our bitching hats on...

I was leaving the Stephens green centre last summer, carrying a baby bath and a bag with sheets, no hands free, heading for the taxi rank, looking like the most weighed down man in the world.

This guy from Oxfam comes over and starts walking alongside, me sort of edging into my path all the time, he's all "Would you like... Would you like..." I'm all "No sorry I can't stop"

He keeps "Would you like..." I say "Sorry" and raise my shoulders in a "look at the stuff I'm carrying, boy is it ever heavy!" and he says "ah come on, you can put them down for a second"

I'm really proud that I told him to "fuck off" ....sometimes you feel sketchy about it, maybe a little crass...but that guy really deserved it... today my only regret is I didn't follow up with "you commison hungry bastard"

yes, lock up all them nasty smelly beggars

 

[Bag'o'cans]

I'd say those guys have some good stories regarding excuses, I usually throw out a few garbled words about already signing up to it.

yeah, most of the people doin it seem fairly right on and don't hassle you too much, but it's when they do shit like that...
the first time i was really nasty was when one of them said to my mate as he politely said no
"what's the matter, don't you care about ..."
he didn't get the last word in

At least someone somewhere is getting some help.

It's pretty interesting how the public can mobilise when faced with a huge crisis - this and band/live aid being the obvious ones.

The drip/drip/drip of hearing about constant (and far more serious) problems in other places or even down the road from you doesn't have quite the same effect on people.

excuse me

When they ask have have you a minute for Whatever charity. My answer is yeah loads of time but no money. Tends to confuss the hell out of them.
