I am reporting this as spam. A similar begging letter is running in a
parallel thread.

wow I am just amazed at the rancor and hate this has caused.

What?
let me tell you a short story... in 99 or 2000 I spent a month in Scotland
with 2 other americans (Business) one weekend we traveled to Glasgow for
some clubbing (bar hopping). there were people on the streets with cans
for
donations for kids charities and each time I was approached I dropped a
couple of bucks worth into the can while the others with me, Scots
included,
were saying "already gave". after several tins had been added to by me one
of the group asked "why do you give each time" my answer was only
this...."
it's for the kids"
I have absolutely no guilt in this "spamming" if that's what you want to
think it is because ....It's for a kid ... so blow it out your ass

You appear to confuse practical help with sentimentality.
I do volunteer work for a local community charity and give 10-15 hours
a week of my time, but they don't get any money off me, not even the
poor little kids.
I'm a heartless ******* aren't I?

Roger,
I'm a heartless ******* aren't I?

of course not... giving of ones time is more of a commitment and shows just
the opposite... My wife and I gave approximately 100 hours per month before
I was disabled and also donated through payroll deductions. I understand
others might not be able to give as much ...giving is a personal choice
....tis only those who can and don't that I would consider heartless

my only question is this...do you do your volunteer work because you're
sentimental or because you enjoy helping???

help comes in many forms and sometimes it's only a small sentimental gesture
that helps the most.

what is with you people? jeeze

sorry that's actually two questions
