EDIT: Just remembered she lost her seat last time. How sad! That is a H_U_G_E loss - (the woman is a total ass) ;)	R2x1 (4628)

Had you noticed that this is PressF1 chat which is for off topic threads. Personally I don't care about donating which is what a telethon is all about. I care about donating directly to a charity directly out of my pocket with any disposible income I have left after the Government takes the various taxes that we all pay. A telethon hopefully moves you to donate some money to a charity or charities or not as the case may be. Of course, naturally, you were entertained and will cough up convertible assets you own to the charity of your choice. Recently I worked for the last month deliverying our local newspaper and flyers. This means that I have to walk a few blocks to do this. The paper has to be delivered on a Wednesday and there is no choice on what day I deliver, rain, hail or shine. I also get fliers which I can deliver either Sat or Sun. After doing this for one month I received $69.71cents after withholding tax. So I am out twice a week for about two hours and this does not include folding time and being aware of what letter boxes do not want junk mail etc. And of course I have left over income which I can then TXT to a charity.

Maybe fundraising for school upgrades and equipment, scholarships (sp? yes I should have done better at school lol), hospitals. And bullets for parents who neglect their kids yet not the bottle or drugs.	rob_on_guitar (4196)

This would go a long way towards assisting struggling families. I used to have school dinners for a while, it cost from memory 2/6d a week in 1946, but "poor" children, children say whose fathers had been killed in the war got free school meals. In the UK school meals goes back to the the late 1800s as a charitable function, but, quoting: "School meal provision was made compulsory, by the 1944 Education Act, which made it a statutory duty rather than optional entitlement for local authorities. This was part of the wide political shift of the 1940s under Labour that involved the creation of the welfare state and the NHS." There were central kitchens that cooked in bulk and distributed to local schools, and we had kitchen staff working in a canteen attached to the school hall. Then along came New Right Thatchernomics :) "These provisions were removed by the 1980 Education Act of Margaret Thatcher's government." www.corporatewatch.org.uk	Terry Porritt (14)

Then in due course the population would come down to a more manageable level. It would kill two birds with one stone, reduce the peasant classes and the overall population, which would be good for the environment.	Terry Porritt (14)
