I disagree. Preying on the elderly is out of bounds IMO.
I never said anything about preying on the elderly. I just wanted to say that it wouldn't hurt to ask money to help ease a bit of suffering in the world. Don't misunderstand me, I do agree that asking money from the elderly folks isn't right but that's not my point.
In the name of charity ? If you're asking for it....then it isn't charity. I think it's called begging.
Perhaps you might see it that way but I don't. If people who care for those who need money the most don't do anything, nothing will happen. Begging, pleading.... what do you want the folks at the charity to do? Smile wide and hope for something good to happen? When you see them struggling to help, they have to do whatever it takes to get money into the door and get these folks and animals a chance for survival.
I wonder if you might be missing the point a little bit. I have no qualms about donating to charity....the operative word being donating...not solicited or extorted.
I'm not missing the point. It's just a difference of opinion. What does it matter as long as the money goes to charity? I give when I can and I do respect the folks out there who work for charity. It's not easy to get money.
