really doubt they would. but if you do indeed decide to donate to charity the only thing that will change is that the CEO of the charity can afford a new set of tires on his Bugatti. this world is morally bankrupt.

That 'charity' certainly isn't typical of a charity with its 'for profit' arm.

Interested to know from you which charities have a CEO that can afford a £1m Bugatti though?

You can't please everyone all of the time.

Just seen a post on facebook saying its scandalous that they raise money for this kid, but not for defibrillators at grass roots matches after Eriksen

FFS the guy only wanted to raise £500 so she could get something to cheer her up after her team lost to England.

He raised more and the family have it away to an international children's charity, which may save some children's lives.

Nothing is stopping the poster on Facebook from starting a gofundme for defribrillators....

The other day someone's young kid got one of the player's balls in their face at Wimbledon, and he gave them one of the special Wimbledon towels as an apology.

Obviously the solution to that in future is for the male players to wear longer shorts!

But I've no problem with the ladies wearing shorter skirts!

fair enough.

I believe that the only reason that charities are so prevalent and the concept encouraged in society is that:

when people donate, they have a sense of satisfaction that they contribute to a cause and that strengthens the bond with society.
Without that bond with society, people would be less likely to agree to sell their time for peanuts and wait for the pensions and golden years that might never come.

So overall it is a well disguised trick and a deception to strengthen the faible construct we abide to.

But I guess society has been working like this for 1000's of years so you can't turn against evolution. I might be an odd person and few others thinking like me, but this does not mean that it is the best for society.

Plenty of great charities out there that do good work, unfortunately a few forgot to behave.

I have donated, contributed and worked with charities all my adult life. I do feel good doing that.

I've heard it is quite prevalent in banks to be asked to run for charities and show your support and all this nonsense to look good for the rest. Ironically a good part of what they do is very questionable in terms of contribution to society.

Oxfam was hit with new allegations of staff involvement with prostitution on Saturday, after claims that employees at a second country mission had used sex workers while living at the organisation’s premises.

Former staff who worked for the charity in Chad alleged that women believed to be prostitutes were repeatedly invited to the Oxfam team house there, with one adding that a senior member of staff had been fired for his behaviour in 2006.

Roland van Hauwermeiren, who has since been embroiled in a sexual misconduct scandal in Haiti, was head of Oxfam in Chad at the time. Van Hauwermeiren resigned from Oxfam in 2011, after admitting that prostitutes had visited his villa in Haiti. One former Chad aid worker said on Saturday: “They would invite the women for parties. We knew they weren’t just friends but something else.

“I have so much respect for Oxfam. They do great work, but this is a sector-wide problem,” the former staffer told the Observer.

If you allow me to channel molten gold through your tear ducts, that can probably be arranged.
