Ricey Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Can I just ask an honest question. Would everyone still be shitting their pants in fury about this if the same amount of people did the challenge but Facebook didn't exist. Methinks not one **** would be given of that was the case It would have been on MySpace instead, or Instagram, or Vine, or Twitter Meh......you know what I mean. If the evil that is social media didn't exist. Money for charity and a bit of fun.....I can't see the problem. Spamming the world to death with videos of it ruins it because every miseryguts and his dog start getting on the moan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I love this people are bored of seeing something positive happen Yeah me too. F**king wastes of space giving money to charities and trying to spread the word. Get a life. *sarcasm* If you're bored of hearing about the "Ice Bucket" challenge then try turning Facedouche or whatever off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I videoed three tonight. It's now purely peer pressure. Nothing to do with charity or thought for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Why are there people on here telling others what they do / don't give to charity based on their participation in this challenge(I haven't taken part just FYI)? Really, your rationale seems to be in place to justify your own position and has nothing to do with the real world at all. 'I give to charity regularly and because you've randomly donated to a charity you may never have heard of before your donations means less, even though I don't know your own personal circumstances and whether or not you do indeed give to charity regularly'. Uhh okay, well you continue to donate anonymously but don't forget to tell everyone when threads like this come up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Every single time the naysayers have made a comment, we've backed it straight up with the words "Any money is a good thing". I'm not sure how many more times we can repeat ourselves. I just don't feel that you should donate to charity because of peer pressure. You should do it because you want to, because you care about the cause. That's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should do it because you want to, because you care about the cause. That's it. ^ Exactly my feeling too and what I said from the start, can't see what the argument is about? Tip a bucket of water over your head or not, whatever Just donate some money to whatever charity means something to you and if you can continue to do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
