I've asked all the charities that I support to make sure that they don't phone me, or I'll cancel my payment and give the money to someone else. Works wonders.

Conrod Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Best just to stop it - feeding third world charities just promotes higher survival rates, and the problem of food:population resourse gets worse each generation - Africa's population boom is going to be a massive problem soon as a result of medical and food aid without birth control, but people refuse to see it. Far better to leave Africa to find its own natural balance, and make a donation to a worthwhile cause like a UK children's cancer charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chem1st Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It would take your missus over 240 years of paying £30 month to pay the CEO of Action Aid her salary for last year. That's assuming 0 administration costs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's assuming 0 administration costs! Oh god not this old chesnut again. So what????? The CEO of a massive worldwide charity with thousands of staff, muliple offices and hundreds of people, places and responsibilities to care for and take charge of, all for their 'disgraceful' £84,600 per year. How do they sleep at night eh?? Moron. You have absolutlely no idea the administration, legislation, regulation and organisation involved in running a charity. You dont have some minimum wage dunce running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont have some minimum wage dunce running it. Why pay anyone? People with full time work apply themselves to charities..... Even CEOs! You don't need to pay loads of money to get someone good, you just get them to do the good for free. Commanding that amount of wage is literally taking money from a charity and they should be ashamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
