I didnt necessarely mean ONE. I just meant that I don't like it when some campaigns could give more money to the poor than what they do..
and I never said shit against campaigns. I even said

Prove it. As far as I know, most of these bands are made in the United States or Canada. No charity is going to buy from a company using kids to make the bands. Period.
those sold in China Town werent for some charity. They were sold because it's become a fashion. Don't tell me the stuff they sell in China Town are made in the States.. it would cost them much less to make them in other countries. Surely some can be made in the states but I believe most arent. And again, I'm NOT talking about the charity ones.

thats very much different. That all depended on one country. Now we are talking about many countries. And even though the black arent slaves anymore. There ARE still people who wish they still were, and there is still racism.. it's not completely gone, there's only a different law. But that depended on the government. You cant ask a government to stop poverty because it will always exist. Whether it's in a poor country or not. Even if it's in a rich country like the United-States. There are people living in the streets, unhelped.

No one is going to give all there money to the charity...BUT, the point is, people who even give as little as $5.50 have helped in some way.
and I AM glad.. just I believe people could do much more than that

Why should it hurt you? Its a charity doing something good. I really feel sorry for you if you are against charity's and organizations like this. They are out to help people.
I didnt say I was against it. I am against the people who are too selfish to realise a few things, how they are living, and such. Charity is good, but there are SOME that aren't. But like you probably think, at least some are getting helped. So many others could be helped if the world could change it's ways of living
