It was deleted because it had NOTHNG to do with that thread. Plus Autopia is privately owned and isn't a democracy either. You can't get more "land of the free" than having control of your own private property. Sigh, there's always one in every bunch
Nobody is guilt tripping anybody into donating
Rather, if people have the means, maybe they could help out in some fashion. To instill guilt is to tell someone they are wrong for not doing something and I have yet to hear that from anyone anywhere.
Why do you donate to the United Way, when "we have taxes" for that kind of "stuff." Our tax dollars are earmarked for a wide range of social welfare programs at the federal, state and local levels to the tune of billions of dollars. You think you're the only one who donates to charity or offers their time to help people anytime during the year?
So your "logic" is for Americans to kick their feet up and let those folks suffer through the country's worst natural disaster of biblical proportions because we have taxes to pay for it?
What was your "logic" on September 11, 2001? Again, sit back and say like a fool, "we have taxes to take care of that - I donate to the United Way." I guess I shouldn't have helped the pregnant woman who collapsed in an absolute panic on 6th Avenue as we both watched the second tower go down. I should have went on my way and rationalized it because I donate to my charitable causes.
You're a moron. You should really think before you open up your mouth. Anything further you say will only exacerbate how stupid you are.
