I disagree, I think this trend is doing its job. It's bringing awareness to something otherwise not talked about at this level. My 10 and 12 year old kids both did the challenge and donated. I just donated yesterday. We would have not done this had it not been put on display - I know this strengthens your point but ALS will benefit from this so their plan clearly worked.

Only to fags who care about social media... No idea what this fag shit is about

We live in a society where we:

-use billions of gallons watering grass
-use billions of gallons washing cars
-we piss into a bowl with several gallons of water in it
-buy water in bottles made of plastic
-take long showers. Twice a day in many cases
-most brush our teeth with water running

Why would anyone worry about water on this scenerio?

Why would you brush your teeth with the water running unless you're gross and brush them for like 20 seconds.

I don't keep the water running. My wife does but she does it for like 5 minutes. That's the whole point of water wasting I was trying to make.

Agree. This charity now has a ton of money because of a trend. Is it dumb, yes. Did it help a charity for a good cause with no real damage done outside of the idiots who can't do it properly....yes

Well, you're another dumb idiot. So fucking what?

Look, 98% of the $ donated was from the most wealthiest people in the Nation. Why? Tax write-off. That's right, bruh. They are still smart enough to fuck everyone else by exploiting our Governments IRS horseshit "program"

So, you and your 2 kids "donated?" Got ya. That means you accepted the "challenge" that was put out there by an actual ALS patient and you donated $300 for him? ALS? Awesome. Did you research where the money went? I bet you didn't. You did, however, donate to a "non-profit" that is just like the American Red Cross. Did you know the CEO of the ARC made over a million dollars last year? Non-profit, right?? Did you also know that the US Government only donated around 60 million to the ARC last year, but they brought in over 3 Billion from other marketing?

ALS will not benefit in any way on finding a cure. Their employees, however, took advantage of the idiots like you.

I figured you were an intelligent person. Such a shame to see you post this garbage to try and justify an argument.

Did you research the ALS Association before making that post? I bet you didn't, because if you had, you probably wouldn't have posted it :dog
