I've mentioned this a few times since the whole Ice challenge started....do people realize that they are showing HOW MUCH they DON'T want to donate by pumping water over themselves? If you really cared, you would donate and not post it to social media. It's like the guy who asks you if you want to donate $5 at a store and then hands you a clover to write your name on. I always laugh at him and say, if i wanted credit for donating money I wouldn't be doing it at the check stand. Keep your fucking clover.
On a side note. Has anyone else found it comical that in a country bemoaned for waste, we're dumping one of the most precious assets in the world over our heads all in an effort to keep from donating a few bucks and to show the world how much you "support" a cause? How about we count up how much water has been wasted over the last 30 days and discuss what could have happened with everyone donating $5 and sending water tanks overseas. Dear lord our society is so fucking backwards and people continue to miss the point.
I truly wonder if people who do the challenge feel good about themselves, and furthermore if they were provided a test immediately after their ALS challenge if they could answer the simplistic and basic questions about what ALS is, where they are in treatment, the effect of the disease, mortality rate, etc. I would wager 75% of the people doing the challenge have no clue what it is and how it effect the body. I've had multiple people mention it's for alzheimers......Wonder how many people have gone to alz.org and donated to the wrong cause.
