Well, I'll say this, at least those people went out and did something and had fun (despite the fact that I'm sure that was was miserable and cold and wet and anyone who jumped in the most polluted body of water in the North East on a frigid winter day is blatantly retarded) and raised money more than just sitting at home on facebook saying OMG CHANG FACEBEWK STATUS TO MAKE AWARE OF CCANCAR LOLZZ!

They are the least effective, most annoying, yet, they still somehow manage to give people that same gratifying feeling that they actually accomplished something...

Like protestors...

Protest schemes that don't cost the participants any inconvenience, hardship or money remain the most popular, despite their ineffectiveness.

when able to i help people in need. no matter what the disease. I have done alot of fund raising in HS and for my work for different diseases. I look at it as "i dont want credit but i would want someone to try and help me if i was in their shoes." I would compare it to mothers and fathers day. Why should i only be nice to my parents on these specific days ? i would rather be nice and helpful everyday. The true people who donate know who they are and would be doing it with or with out any sort of publicity.

That and I have yet to see any fucking pictures that you actually jumped in the water on Saturday...you know what they say.

NO PICS, NO EVENTS OCCURRED.

hmmm lets touch on a few points here. donating for a cause is a great thing. participating in a cause is obviously a social situation but a good situation to be in regardless. to donate from bed or participating still makes you a good person. i've been running 5k's lately mostly due to the enjoyment of running but it does feel good to give to a charity especially since my mother is a breast cancer survivor. but i'm not saying you're welcome to anyone for it haha

and there you have it

spare me the back pat requests

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

I don't think I was searching for a pat on the back but I don't think calling the social aspect of it dumb is right at all. If its not how you feel about donating then so be it. Just do something

[Burton58]

actually i have to add that if i ever run a marathon i expect all of you to be there to give pats on the back

when did Will Gentile become One Mister Michael Ruggieri????


.......at least the devil's advocate this time isn't telling people that just because you were in the military makes you a hero or entitles you to anything.....


Devil's Advocate only means one thing, eternal damnation.

I was doing it for breast cancer. You're welcome

nicole has plenty of experience with breast cancer and causes associated with it that she doesnt post or talk about. i realize she can fight her own battle but shes at work busy and i have some time inside while i work.

i think "youre welcome" is a lousy angle jon, take it how you will, im not bashing you personally, or your choice on how you raise money, kudos for you for goin through some serious discomfort in the name of charity, but do so with pride and less so a badge

simply being in the military DOESNT make you a hero, and doesnt put you on some moral high ground

if youre about to argue that, i am all ears

I have a truck full of experience with it too. He said the same crap to me. It was a joke and his comment came off to me as a joke - just like 99% of all the other comments you guys do on here. What because he posted a thread telling you guys he was going to do it and anyone who wanted to donate could message him? That's not bragging - that's trying to raise money. The whole point of participating in the even in general. That's a low blow if you ask me.

call it whatever you'd like

i am close friends with jon and have been for some time now, he knows i am not personally attacking his character. if hes upset about what i have said, im sorry to hear that.
i have been pretty clear with what i have said, theres no room for interpretation or alluding to anything. his thread wasnt even referenced

take it or leave it, welcome to the forum

finally-
tone in personal conversation and tone on an an internet forum in typing are two entirely different animals
