georgym Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Everyone and their mother is going out to get this.I understand it's for a good cause, but is it just me or are people just buying them "to be hip" Don't get me wrong, i'm all for donating money. Instead of selling my car, i donated it to cancer research (which should be worth 1,750 of those yellow bands -), and will get a tax rebateMONDAY VENTING nSyNcBaBy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stymie Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Yeah but does it really matter why anyone else is wearing them? Isnt the important thing where the money is going? Id rather see people wearing them because everyone else is, rather than nobobdy buying them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misk Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 ...yea but at least they can use the fact that people are jumping on the bandwagon and take the money for a good cause....i'd rather see a yellow bracelet than any other stupid trend....

georgym Posted October 4 Author Report Share Posted October 4 yes, you 2 make a good point.At least it;s not those snap bracelets that were in over 10 years ago that had no meaning.but still, i hope that people buy it with the intention of helping cancer and not just "to fit in".ps, it should cost more than $1.

georgym Posted October 4 Author Report Share Posted October 4 you know...next time i see a younger person helping an old lady cross the street, i'm gonna slap him in the face...it just annoys me that he is doing it because "its right"...don't even TRY to compare the 2Tell me what's harder, going up to a complete stranger and asking them if they need help, or going online and completing a $1 order for a bracelet I just think that they could have made it a more engaging thing with the bracelets, i.e. send you information on the latest cancer stories, successes, opportunities to donate more, etc....

I just hope people do it for the right reasons, not for "just cuz everyone else is doing it" reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgym Posted October 4 Author Report Share Posted October 4 edit:Majinbou... you are seriously a prime example of someone who's THICK-headed.Just like in the sex board where that guy "jaleousy" SAID he doesn't speak english well, yet you make fun of him... What i was saying on this thread is that I just hope people are doing it out of the kindness of their heart and not just another "hip" thing to do, like wearing Che shirts. Im not going to discuss this anymore, except to say yes, it's a nice thing to do, but there's still SO MUCH MORE everyone can do to join in the fight against cancer, and this "yellow bracelet" hopefully is just the start. When people start going out of their way, rather than foundations and corporations catering to our needs, is when generosity and good deeds will thrive~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
