Charities

[Universezero]

During our school's compulsory once-a-term Sunday chapel, our reverend was talking about money. He said some stuff about charities, and giving money away. I then thought, 'Hmm... If I had money, what charity would I give to?'

Even now, I'm not sure. If I were to give to a charity, it would be one that could solve a problem that may have negative effects on the whole earth in the future. Most charities are made to solve short-term problems, such as poverty and disaster relief.

I don't think poverty ever has been or ever will be a short-term problem. Nor disasters, really.

If I had money I'd probably end up giving to organisations along the lines of the EFF and the ACLU. Because I care more about abstract concepts than lives.

This is what I was thinking; I just can't find a charity that I support that reflects this view.

The EFF looks quite good, though.

Actually if given the chance and the money, I would only give it to a local charity. I feel like that is the best way to give back, because you've been taking from the community (along with everyone else) and I would love to see those certain areas around the city cleaned up of everything, living in a much better city that way, along with the other 1,999,999 people in Vegas.

*Perhaps this local charity would help out our school system. It is the 5th largest in the USA, but really really bad. D:

It was pointedly worded but nevertheless true.

Bahaha, there aren't any charities in Vegas.

I totally donated to a charity in Vegas.
The EFF was having a waffle sale (the price of each waffle was "whatever you can donate to the EFF") while some DEFCON staff drank heavily and gave a presentation about hilarious security failures.
...although I suppose it wasn't based in Vegas, but I saw a poor excuse to mention DEFCON and I seized it.

Not sure if either one was meant for me... but as I believe I'm the only community member that lives/lived in Vegas I don't really follow that.. there's just more clubs here than usual, and many interesting (architecturally) hotels on the strip.

...and fantastic buffets. Can't forget that.

Stay away from the Luxor buffet. It's garbage.

There are great buffets in Vegas. I can verify this if I scan this photo of me covered in the remnants of shrimp.
