Yes, after a few recent discussions here, it has come to my attention that true charity is to be achieved by seizing and spending other peoples' money the way you see fit. I always considered truly charitable people to be generous. But that's old fashioned thinking because today people feel that they should have the right to take money from whom they please to distribute it to whom they please.

Pull a 10-spot out of your own pocket to feed a hungry person. That's charity. If you pull it out of someone else's pocket against their will or knowledge, then it's stealing; not charity.

Can you give an example of this? I don't recall the Red Cross taking money from me without my permission, nor the charities collecting on behalf of the homeless Chinese after the floods and earthquakesdunno

Green tights are a great advantage for those that only like to reach into the pockets of other people, for the source of their charitable donations because as we all know, green tights have no pockets! Perfect! laugh
