There is no fraud occurring here. This is how most major charities operate.


LOL I find this topic amusing. I like how many people claim that Charity is an excellent way to problems and use it as an excuse when the Government tries to give free healthcare.


What?



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

meant solve*
Such as the Government shouldn't be taking peoples tax money and provide healthcare whilst they should give it Health-care Charity. Charity's RARILY solve anything. I can say the same thing about the Government. Anyways that is all I'll say on this matter in this topic.



The administrative salaries really aren't any higher than a normal company making $30 million in revenue (yes, this whole ALS thing has already more than tripled their entire revenue from last year).

Many not for profits are willing to pay their employees a competitive salary. Call it fair or not, they will argue it allows them to have more competent employees, therefore resulting in more money for them to spend on their goals.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

all that water being wasted with the ice bucket challenge is a bigger problem.

California going through a drought, and you know I won't be surprised if the ALS challenge is at fault! Not to mention all the other countries that need clean water.

We can't live without fresh water for about more than a week. This is serious.

ummm no, this argument is as good as when people say that African Child is starving and you're complaining about video games?
Or better yet First World Problems argument? People have to realize Standards in Africa or some third world country can't be compared to ours.

Anyways if you really want to Argue this

So what? People waste water everyday for a lesser cause, Gardening, Shower. Do you REALLY need to shower, it's not a LIFE or Death thing.

Toilets? Go pee and poo outside like NATURE reccomended for us.

How embarassing; Just shows how easily it is to lead the American people since damn near all of us care more about the social status of this campaign than what their moneys actually doing. Nearly all of my friends on FB have posted videos of this JUST because it's become the "in" thing to do the past two weeks.


Basically this.

This "article" gives absolutely no sources, no links to the numbers it claims.

Seems legit.

Here's one with sources: http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/debunks-article.html

I suggest that this link should be added to the OP for fairness.

In retrospect, fairness doesn't appear to be on the OP's mind.
