Anonymous Coward User ID: 829707 Switzerland 11/29/2009 04:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Last year 1500 copies of the CD were delivered to Children's Hospitals in 8 cities in the U.S. that were thrilled to have the recordings to distribute to their patients, including San Diego, Orange County, Milwaukee, New York, Miami, New Orleans, Houston and Albuquerque for the children spending their holidays in the hospital, and their siblings. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 829784[link to www.blogcatalog.com] Now all you have to do is check all the hospitals in those areas to see who got those CDs and report back to us. You want us to wipe your ass too? Wow, what a lovely charity! When asked for names and addresses who received Jeff Gelder Holiday Magic CDs, you give a link to a marketing bullshit 'blog'. The NAMES and ADDRESSES of the hospitals are what is required. Not a link to a marketing BLOG. Telling me about a hospital in "Milwaukee", or any city, is no information, as you well know. BTW, go wipe your own ass. Just stop bitching and get off your lazy ass and get the information yourself. Otherwise, fuck off if you don't like this thread and expect everything to be handed to you. No matter what anybody says to prove the validity of this charity, you're the type who won't give anyway. You are obviously the ALL TIME WORST SHILL any charity ever had, anywhere. No, I'm not going to "fuck off", as you say. And I am not going to call every hospital in the city names noted. Not good enough. The onus isn't on ME. It's on YOU because YOU are asking for peoples' hard earned MONEY. I asked for simple information. The names and addresses of 10 hospitals who ever received Jeff Gelder Holiday Magic CDs. Shouldn't be all that hard to provide, if it's on the up and up. Which obviously, it is not. |

The spammer doesn't get to rip you 'tards off, and the whiney little kids don't get to experience the fairly shitty life available to them. Problem solved. Next? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 17189 New Zealand 11/29/2009 07:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Last year 1500 copies of the CD were delivered to Children's Hospitals in 8 cities in the U.S. Do the maths. Last year each CD cost $2 therefore that's three thousand CDs. If for example 100 people donate $30 each to the cause thats already $3000 in the kitty where each CD costs $3 this year thats 1000 CDs that can be distributed. Supposing this year they are aiming to double the number of CDs distributed and the target is therefore three thousand CD's x $3 = $9000. For any charity but note this is a nation wide one it would be relatively easy to collect 9 or 10,000 dollars in donations to make the 3,000 CDs. Something doent add up about this. Are all donations recorded and receipted? My guess is probably not for the small change but probably for larger donations i.e. $20 and above. |

"tis for the kiddies" and "imagine the smile on their faces" is long on emotion and short on detail. yes, i did some google research and all i can find is emotional PR and very, very little detail from a charity that has supposedly been running for 5 or 6 years. keep up the good work ..... and no we are not trolls for asking questions and neither are you for soliciting for a good cause. we just asked for the details behind this wonderful guys' activities. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 742606 Canada 11/29/2009 08:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This post soliciting money posted is outrageous. This is ridiculous. It's one thing if the owner of GLP asked for money to help fund this site. That I wouldn't have a problem with and would probably help out with. But for someone else to come on this site and beg for some charity they work for? Pisses me off. This time of year, we all get deluged with requests to make donations at work, from friends, from the Salvation Army bell ringers, other sites, etc. Why can't GLP be a solicitations-free site? If you're going to allow this charity to be advertised on your site, what's next?! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 822681You should be sorry. As for you expecting us to be "a little more human", how can you just make blanket assumptions and generalizations like that and think we're not charitable in real life?! That is completely unfair. I try and give as much as I can afford to charities I believe in. And I also give money to homeless people. But I can only do so much. Do you have any idea how many times I've been asked for money for charities just in the last week alone? Then to come on GLP, which is normally refreshingly free of solicitations, and find this request and your absurd comment makes me very irate. |

My Take User ID: 673609 United States 11/29/2009 08:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've become extremely practical, some would say cynical. I pass the Salvation Army ringers with a holiday greeting and a compliment to them for their service. What I leave unspoken is my observation that while these good folks are standing in the cold ringing the bell, most of the temporarily local guys living at the Sal are sitting in a warm bar sucking down the suds with the money they begged off the shoppers earlier today. Or down by the railroad track freezing their buns off and smoking crack. When I see them standing out there and doing their part to benefit them and their fellows then I'll consider donating again. That will never happen because the vast majority of them would wait til the bucket was full and skip town. I spent my career life working in the people-helping professions and know what I'm talking about. So, good-hearted people everywhere, please be educated about what you are donating your time to. You may be unwittingly helping someone other than the needy prosper. |
