I am proud NOT to donate. Shit no one except my parents ever gave anything to me. So I try to help them out a little. I have a soft spot in my heart for Vets too. So I’ll support the vfw and the local guys, they lay their life on the line for us.
My company does the united way thing…I thought about it for about 5 seconds and concluded they will not receive any of my money. If someone asked/pressured me at work to donate I’d immediately ask for a raise to cover that donation or if that person would like to donate a 6 pack of magic hat #9 to me each weekend. If they agreed to those terms I would donate.
