I'm one of the guys who asked this very same question and still believe that if someone takes the time to send you a message, but you're not interested in them, the very least you can do is to say no thanks. It's just simple common courtesy to reply to a message from a member that has not contacted you before and is genuinely interested in you. If you are not interested and don't want to recieve messages from that member again then reply BEFORE you block them. Manners ladies manners, or am i just being too old fasioned by being polite?
Yeah what a good idea, throw money at Haiti!! The US government gave their government hundreds of millions of dollars during the early 90's so they could fix many of the problems in the country but what happened to the money??? Corrupt officials took it all and nothing at all made it to the people. The same thing will happen with any money you donate that actually makes it to Haiti.
Now let's see what happens to money donated to charity. The money comes out of your pocket and into a collection bucket, or you've transfered money directly into one of their collection accounts. Most of the money is placed into a single account where no tax or bank fees are paid but does collect interest. The interest is transfered to another account along with a small percentage of the original donations, this account also pays no taxes or fees and is in a different name than the first one. The interest from this account is transfered into an account held by the charity directly, along with a small percentage of the original donations and a 'top up' every few years directly from the two deposit accounts. This is the money that is used to fund the charities projects and is also used for advertising.
So to sum it all up, only a small percentage of the money you all donate is actually going to where it is needed. Most of it goes into funding a small group of fatcats lifestyles, they enjoy fancy resaraunts, luxury living, and one endless holiday all thanks to you.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this and i hope i've opened your eyes to what is realy happening to your money.
Well seeing that it would have been me doing the pillaging early on i would have already collected every thing i need to grow vegetables on a large scale. Man needs meat though so you either join my clan or get eaten.
From some of the responces i've seen it is clear that they know nothing about depression. You can not just tell them to get help, you must talk to them about getting help frequently and be prepaired to go along with them to the doctor once they agree to go. People with true depression no longer care about seeking help by themselves and need to be shown that someone DOES care about them enough to help them to help themselves. YOU MUST TAKE THE FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD STEPS WITH THEM if you love them enough to help them. Yes i am talking from experience.
Thanks Serene. Yeah i know that i need more pics and a few with me smiling would help but i'm in a new area and don't know anyone here well enough for them to take 'happy snaps' of me while i'm having fun. The photo on my profile is the only one taken of me this century. It was taken late last year by my cousin on her phone.
Oh and by the way ladies, i might sound a bit jaded or angry so i'll tell you why. I've sent out over 100 messages to Australian ladies on this site and have had 2 responces, both negative. I'm a gentleman in all of the messages and i'm getting no where. Please explain this to me.
Honestly though that old saying 'treat em mean, keep em keen' is the truth. Women need to be treated bad most of the time or they will consider you to be weak and will walk all over you. Because i'm not naturaly like that and i have to make an effort to be an arsehole is why i'm single, i just don't have it in me to be an arsehole 24/7.
Where is the harm in meeting up for drinks or lunch? I don't understand why people are so shy about it, you're out in public and can scream for help if they turn out to be a psycho.
