Amateur: ALS ice bucket challenge, tbh..

[DMC]

not bad

i just find it so petty. its a bucket of water, people acting like they're leaving sprinklers on 24/7 or something

And a lot of them are doing it where? Near water.

The water doesn't disappear. People dying of thirst are living in hole countries in the desert. If there wasn't so much ing liberal whining and crutches, the Earth would find a balance.

[DMC]

It's stupid because it is superficially addressing one problem while tacitly contributing to an even bigger problem - namely, the lack of fresh water in developing nations.

Tossing buckets of ice on ourselves is just a big " you" to everyone on earth who is dying from a lack of access to fresh water. I would venture to guess that those people far outnumber the people with ALS.

This is one of the most re ed takes that's ever been posted on here and that's quite a feat.

It's all bull , folks. It's bull and it's bad for ya.

Yeah I don't claim that the ALS ice bucket challenge is causing a water problem, but it just flies in the face of any solution.

I also don't think the ice thing is terrible and everyone who does it is a horrible person. I can appreciate its purpose. But I would question many people's motivation for doing it - as a sort of social status check, an indication of being cool and socially aware, when really you're unaware of much bigger (although much less discussed) problems.

It's not flying in the face of . Independent events. Me pouring water on the ground has absolutely nothing to do with the water quality in Mexico.

I'm not so self absorbed that I actually give a about other people's motives for doing good deeds. I really don't care. People donating to ALS > People doing nothing per usual.

Tbh if you really wanted to help out the waterless Africans you'd bottle up your tears. Prolly supply water to a small village for a month man...

Kobe started all this with the cold shower in Colorado. ALS my ass.

It's getting kinda ridiculous. People are making ALS ice bucket challenge videos and nominating people and yet they're not even donating anything.

And they're wasting potable water which could be given as aid to people in Africa.

Well, celebs do donate though. What I hate is normal people on FB doing it, I mean if you're not going to donate you're not spreading the word either because everyone already knows about it. Makes the entire thing moot.

most people are using undrinkable chlorinated pool water tbh

[Calispursfan11]

Gayness of viral fad has swallowed the fad's own main goal. People are now just dumping icewater on their heads and posting it to places like Spurstalk and Facebook cos they think it's cool like all the other mindless apes out there (Harlem, I'm talking to you. You're one of them).

[Malik Hairston]

I have to say, although I was a supporter of the cause a week ago and earlier, it's kind of late now to be posting ice bucket challenges, tbh..

Everybody is always late on trends, smh..

If you really did donate $1k to the ALSA then that's great, unlike a lot of people who do the ice bucket challenge without ever donating.

Good point. I turned it down when challenged. Im not going to hop on some trend ...
Cuban made a good point on he Ben & Skin show last week (local DFW radio show) .... he also refused they have raised over $50 millie for ALS ...what about the other charities? What is ALS gonna actually do with that much money? IS there that MANY projects for research treatment? It's pretty dumb to watch people jump on this social waves ... even if originally there was a good cause many are just doing it because it's hot right now ... people are sheep.
