Bruno Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I must have seen hundreds of these ALS ice bucket challenges. I've still no idea what ALS is, since none of the videos barely mention it. It's not just ALS, also Macmillan agree a lot of people don't mention what to do, such as if you do it text ice to xxxx to donate £3 or wimp out and text fine to xxxx to donate £10 It's all fun, no other expenses are involved and it's raising monies, nothing to stop anyone picking a different charity and we haven't a drought so no harm done there. Also you have the opportunity not to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raarrrbayer Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Just did it myself. Donated too mind. Lot of people out there aren't donating just doing the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo68 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I despair at the cruelty and stupidity of some people I really do http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2733198/Is-CRUELEST-ice-bucket-challenge-Thug-dunks-PUPPY-freezing-water-sick-twist-charity-phenomenon.html I do not approve of dogs being kept as pets, except working dogs that have been retired, and make no secret of that. I do however completely condemn this young person taking sadistic pleasure in causing this animal distress. Not only did the idiot do this he put it on social media and bragged about doing it. We should fully ecpect to hear that that animal has been taken from this person and that he has been charged with something that can he can get a custodial sentence from. Do I believe one or both those two things will happen.. no not really.. which of course is why other idiots will do similar things without concerning themselves at all about possible consequences. I hope I'm wrong. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I see MacMillan have received criticism for hijacking the Ice Bucket Challeng for undermining ASL/MND's (it's MND in the UK) attempt to raise vital funds and awareness of their cause. MND are a small and underfunded charity, compared to MacMillan, and I feel it's unfair and unethical for MacMillan to actively promote their fundraising on the back of this idea/phenominom. http://www.mndassociation.org/news-and-events/Latest+News/join-in-and-take-the-ice-bucket-challenge-today?gclid=CNbr2a3-ssACFW3JtAodwhoAAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit I laughed at that. Though I did echo her sentiments when I stopped to consider that if it was icy cold water that an adult actually did that to her. . .
