Personally, as some one who's had to struggle just to not be homeless their whole adult life, I give to those who need it because I'd appreciate it if I were in that situation. I guarantee that you've never seen me brag about it because I know I'm still a piece of **** or what ever regardless and I'm not an attention whore like most of you. I'm also not shaming people for not doing it. I'm shaming people for protesting it.

I think it's particularly pathetic that you'd bitch about something like this, then turn around and bitch about being 'homeless' or how much your life sucks. To me when people act like that I realize that they aren't bitching and whining because they want help. They bitch because they want everybody to feel sorry for them and they need the attention.

So with that, happy holidays music banter. I hope you all learn to appreciate what you have this season and take the time to enjoy life.
My problem with this is that it supports the kind of shitty american culture where you do nice things because it's the holiday. Like, "I did my good deed this year" *wipes hands*. Nah, fuck that, I support being charitable and generous all year round, not because of some bs holiday.

We have a culture where we only come together for holidays or when shit really hits the fan like 9/11 or Katrina, and the rest of the year it's pretty much fuck your neighbor and their personal space, this world is all about me.

Would you have made this thread at ANY other point in the year, when it wasn't charity season?

To follow up on DWV's point I agree with it but my main beef is trend of people using social media to broadcast their good deeds taking selfies and doing videos to put up on youtube to showcase them doing something charitable. If you are going to do something nice why do you need that recognition and attention that follows it. Just do it and carry on with your life.

What a fresh perspective that hasn't been brought up in this thread at all.

I don't think Lucem can read properly because he keeps going on and on with the same point as well so I just reiterated.

By this logic you are also illiterate.
