I just remembered that in teh old site there was a donation button in teh front page, and well I do not see one on this site, I do not know if it the old site had many donations however this is a different site and was wondering if you staff have discussed about putting one up.

because maybe in teh future I might want to donate some money to help. :cool2:

ok:

1) We love you.

2) I'll see about getting one immediately.



Thank you very much, man. Posts like this are always very, very nice to see. I'm sure the Administration will really appreciate this.

You could have donated to a Zimbabwean Children's Fund or the Association to End World Hunger but you chose to donate to a Warcraft site.... tsk tsk, man, tsk tsk :p:

Please ? Why dont we give them educational aid and help them make choices, to help themselfs. Let them know tecniques to help them accomplish better lifes.

If he donates money to help the site pay its bills, then at least he helps a cause. If he were to donate to that fund, he would be donating he would be assisting orginized religon's control over the choice. Also warlords in africa are the dominating force, most of times the stuff thats sent to help people is used to further enslave them. Let me ask you are you firmiliar with Somalia ?

Perfect example. The most powerful warlord in mogadisu city, sent his son to america for education. He is one of the only somali's that have enough power to do so. His son returned to that city, not coming back to his father. However, as a united states marine. He along with the other US forces were ensuring UN supplies got to the actual people who were in need of it. When I say these people have nothing but guns Im not kidding. There addicted to drugs, they are so skinny there ribs and bones are visible all over there body, its like living in the holocaust. My point ? If you want to help you would donate to a fund that brings them to a non 3rd world country to educate individuals, so they can help themselfs. Donation to a church who gives charity is a donation to enslavement via local warlord's who opress them. Its not fair to help them be opress anymore.

Children 8 years of age with klasnikov automatic rifles. These kids got just as much experince as a vietnam vet. They lay obvious mines, ornacies, explosives to go off around water wells. They charge the allready beyond poor to be guided around the maze for water. Its nothing but bullying.

Disgusting, moral of the story ? You have two choices ? Enslavement further of the african people by so called "charity" or actual donation to a cause which one can understand fully.

is it possible to donate things other than money

i have things worth much, such as the following:

old toenail clippings
CPU fans
origami creations
the sock w/o partner found in laundry
etc.

No you are wrong.. you will have to push the dollar into the modem by brute force or else the firewall will block it.

Whoa Kestrel, back up dawg. I was just havin' some fun and you got all political on me -_-.
But anyway, you talk as if all attempted help for Africa is futile, as if it is somehow lost and can not be redeemed. I don't believe this to be true, though it does have some very obvious problems, some of which you mentioned. Still, you can help ordinary Africans have a better living than they would have otherwise had with only a small amount of money. You may not start a revolution in Africa, but every little bit helps.

If you would like to make a donation to the site, please contact me via PM, or if you would rather not talk to me at all, you can donate to jtotten1@nc.rr.com. All money obviously goes back into the site 100%

Once I pay off bills, buy food, buy anything that I may want or need, pay my monthly tithing, and put some money into bank, I will see whats left for a donation in the following months, currently I am trying to save money for a trip :cool:

Most certinly not a futile endevor. To help somone, its great practice to help them help themselfs. When you give them money, thats honestly not helping themselfs.

Why dont you exaimine if your money reaches these africans what will happen to it ? What happens with our money here ? It gose through alot of hands, ultimatly who do you thinks going to benifit from any money we send over there ? Who do you think if there were say shops in a city there, the shop owners right ? Well the warlords would naturally shall I say "bully" them. Extorting money from the shop owners. The warlord would then have money to turn around and by weapons of the mogadisu blackmarket. (There is such a thing in mogadisu its also one of the largest west africa. Its like a big lawless gun show. )

Education on the other hand is something thats not involved in transactions. Understanding a concept cannot be transferd via a machine from one mind to another. It can be taught, it can be learned. However, only by choice of at least two people, it also takes time. How we learn isent the point its the fact that education will indeed help an individual help themselfs. They can be the ones to effectivly free themselfs from this perdiciment. Teach them to build things. (Carpenters, Masons, Electricians, Plumbing aspects and so on ) There buildings need repaired badly. Medical Education might be appealing to some doctor's, nurses you know the good people you find at the hosbital. Mathmatics, Science, Geology, Geomotry (Simple things not to advanced)
Energy science management,ect. Zoology ( They have enough widelife to study ;) )

They could also learn techniques of civil disobediance used many times to oppose oppresion of rasceism, gain indepedance,ect. This they could use against their warlords if we stop giving them reasons to be so loyal to their warlords. You see by killing people by mistake (as our Army Rangers / Delta Force / US Marines) have done in the past. It was a mistake but still violence was used. However we gave them a reason to see us as an invading force rather then a food aid mission in place to prevent the Warlords from using food that belongs to starving people from feeding to their gun men. Anyways, see its important now that we learn how to teach people that they have a hard choice but still a choice to help themselfs. Its worked for India, its worked for kids in the 70's who just wanted chocolate milk. It can help others.

You can see I hope that the aid of money is further enslavement. However an attempt to help would be one to empower the mind of any individual who wants too. Certinly opposing the warlords is their choice and it would not be an easy one. However we have proven to ourselfs in the past that violence on our part ends up as a disapointment. We honestly did want to help them.
However, no your right partisan its not beyond us to do so, its just very important to do so the right way.

Dont get me wrong either I am not against feeding starving people. Like you said, every little bit dose help. But whom ? What also are their motives. If they share un common motives with you, then you have totaly defeated your own purpose of donation.

Kestrel man, very good post. I agree with you, I would also donate my money to help the people. However, i do not know if the money would ever make it to the people who needs it, the organization for all i know will keep it to them selfs probably to pay for their owns bills.

Also, if your money dose make it "where you want it". How will it help that individual in those situations ? If it strengths the power of the local millitants then is it really help ?

Also demon, I most definitly am not hating on parsman. I like parsman hes fine with me. If I dident like him, then I would not take the time to explain myself to him.

Kestrel seriously has a great point. Knowledge is power even before money. So instead of a "Contribute Donation" button. There needs to be a "Teach a Super Moderator how to Read and Tie his Shoes Button".

Alright, don't let your money pass through someone elses hands,
But don't let that be an excuse to help people who need it.

I personally go down to Mexico (I live in San Diego already) and give food to families down there,
Not to make myself feel better or all of that crap,
But because of circumstance, I have too much and they have too little.

¿How often? Just curious because I am mexican.

I have too much and they have too little.

Food is not the only thing they need, why don't you give some of your stuff so they can have more and you can have less.

This thread is seriously off-topic.

The point is, the site needs to survive. It needs money to do that. If you choose to donate you will keep it alive that much longer. Ads do not pay all the monthly bills.

See siLk's post below for donation information.

No more off-topic posts please.
