There is no difference between "responsibility" and "obligation." If you are responsible for something, you are obligated to it. Buy a dictionary, hypocrite. And thanks for proving me right.
If you're that fucking stupid enough to think that you're right because you think you can't take responsibility without obligation then you need to look up the definitions and you will learn something.
Also, nobody here is "fighting" anything to "not give" to charity just because they're not moving on your idea. Don't kid yourself, you're not that important. They're just not taking the bait of your hypocritical attempt at guilt tripping them into starting up some charity fund on rig-talk.com, to which you have made clear YOU won't be donating but that WE should. You have no idea what people here are doing with charity organizations.
I actually just gave at my church this morning. So definitely not a hypocrite, you keep making shit up and now you're trying to excuse yourself with "You have no idea what people are doing with charity organizations". The irony is how hypocritical you are proving yourself. You have no idea what I do either, seems more like the argument has blinded you to make so many bs assumptions and projections.
And lastly, nothing I have ever said here implies I'm important. You seem to obviously think I am because you can't stop replying and making the issue of me giving bigger than it should be. I already said that my giving may not be of importance because I'm just one person, it pissed you off even more when Monkey Man said the opposite of you.
Point being is that I haven't assumed or projected, you have. So maybe you should examine yourself.
Please do brother. I have a list of family and friends I'm going to be helping out. I should have some more "needed supplies" list items soon.
Gallon jugs of water...there is no potable water in Tampa Bay right now. My family is en route home. Dad had no flooding, just some roof tiles missing and some fence panels down. Cousin's place lost the seawall, just don't know how bad it is. Sisters house needs to be gutted from Helene. I have my friend's family on the beach that also may need some assistance plus I may have a memorial to attend so my time is pretty much all accounted for at this stage.
I just gave the amount I said to my church and and whatever/whoever they are partnered with. Service a bit ago mentioned Florida and prayed for them. Our mentality is that if we give to those in the community here, we cannot stand idly by and not help Florida too (I am not in Florida). Of course, there are people who have family in Florida too.
I'm just genuinely sorry this thread had to turn into a fucking argument with some bullshit in disrespect instead of people wanting to genuinely wanting to help. What the fuck is wrong with people? Your family is in my prayers.
