In reality, they were giving you something of little value in hope of triggering that psychological urge to return the favor with even just a dollar or two. Property Marbella

Yes even I believe in charity but giving charity is not only your job.Whether the money you are giving is being used properly or not should also your concern.

To the poster above, to each his own I guess. A lot of people were already screwed by organizations posing as charities and asking donations so it really helps to do intensive research first before shelling out your hard-earned money. Our donations should really go to those who are deserving and in dire need.

You know, it’s people exactly like you lot that make it so damn hard for charities to even break even.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I know! These charitys sometimes take 95% of the money and use it for “paying the workers” or “funds/bills” ETC and any excuse they think of! There big scammers…

Dont forget the local hobo who asks for money and goes straight to the licor store!

Hooray!!! Boot camp done with. Orders in hand, I enter San Diego’s Lindberg Airport to catch a flight home for a couple weeks leave before heading for my ship.

Being from the San Francisco Bay Area I was aware of the Hare Krishna folks. When several of them approached me I stood and listened, enjoying the interaction with something not related to the military.

No way were they going to ‘brainwash’ me, however. It was just an enjoyable diversion for me while waiting for the plane.

Be aware this was 1975 and there were plenty of World War 2 and Korean war Alpha Males out and about.

After I had listened to the Krishna crew for a few minutes I looked up…. and, standing there, around 20 feet away, were 8 or 9 grown males, standing, staring, with frowns on their faces.

Hee hee…. they were my “guardian angels”!!!!! Those guys saw a young guy, obviously fresh out of boot camp, and they were ready to go to war to protect me, if need be.

The looks upon their faces told the story. I would not want those guys angry with me…they looked and were serious!!!!

Not wanting to hold those “angels” up I said good bye to the nice Krishna dudes, nodded at the guys guarding me, and went on my way.

I noticed the most serious of my guards, the one with scowl and with muscular arms crossed over his barrel chest. He nodded back at me. It’s a guy thing I could interpret… he was ready to “go to war” to protect me from what he considered could be a threat.

Those Krishnas were lucky they did not grab me and try to isolate me as a potential “brainwashable” adherent. That one guy alone likely had the ability to devastate those Krishnas!!! Let alone the half-dozen or so others ready to assist.

Kinda’ gave a guy a warm fuzzy feeling back before “warm fuzzy feeling” was in the lexicon.

Oh, charities….. Starvation Army for me. I believe they keep the waste to a minimum.

Feeling charitable?

On those bitter cold days with the wind chill temperatures in the single digits or lower, offer to buy the Starvation Army bell ringer a coffee or a hot chocolate. Golly, those folks are so grateful when you return with a cup of hot liquid for them to wrap their paws around.

Can’t agree more with this post. My husband stopped donating to a charity after I said to him, “you know they’re using all your money to send you junkmail”. He realized that was true and then the charity still kept on sending junk.

I completely agree with dr.xnlb. It irks me when charities use money to send “free gifts” to potential donors. If I give to a charity, I want to know that my money is going to the cause….not to producing address labels.

I like to assume that if I use the mailing address labels that I am doing free advertising for them if they put their logo on it. My donation is that I will use their labels.
