Personally if it's like donating one dollar, just donate the *** dollar and increase your karma a little. Also, the coin bank at registers. I mean, if you get some pointlessly small amount of coins, might as well. Change adds up.

Sure, if they follow you to your car and star shoving pamphlets about saving your soul from the devil, or if they start trying to convert you or otherwise force their ***on you, give them a friendly nudge to back off before it becomes a problem.

Well, here's the thing.
Not all charities are the same. I literally give at the office. It comes right out of my paycheck. And not just a few dollars.
I generally don't give to donations at cash registers. I don't get mad about it, I just try to politely decline.

My thought process is basically that I can afford it. If I go 1 day without Dunkin Donuts coffee in the morning, I can then donate 1 dollar every day that week and I am not so selfish that I would put coffee above donating a dollar in the cases where someone actually asks for it.

I'm hostile towards Jehova's. I respect people's faith if they're muslim, christian, zoroastrian, or whatever; but I just cannot stand Jehova's cause it's a sect that causes real harm and grief to people. It's horrible and I'll never refrain from outright condemning them.

Wait what
I mean, I don't think they deliberately cause brief or harm? At least no more than any other religion?
Oh, the medicine and blood thing?
Yeah, but that goes for the Church of Christian Science and other screwballs too.
Whatever, if they believe it as adults, fine, your funeral. But if they let kids die for it, they should be convicted as criminals.
I could go soft on them thanks to a girl I used to be friends with in HS though. Can't think of JW's without thinking of her and hoping she's doing well. She fell off the face of the map after school, I can only assume due to the religious nonsense.

Not even just the regressive thinking about medicine. It's a pure sect. Do you know what they do to those who dare break their rules? Or how the "elders" abuse people? They don't even allow their cultists to go to the police if something bad happens. The elders will take care of it. If they want.

Are you sure you're not thinking of fundamentalist Mormons? I've heard of them acting like that. In the extreme.
I've never heard of JWs doing that.
Maybe I lived around a "progressive" temple.
Edit: maybe we should migrate this to RPR

Yes it's Jehova's. There's a journalist here who's made a few reportages about them, they're the worst kind of people I've ever seen. They're coercive and oppressive to their followers.

Edit: maybe we should migrate this to RPR That reminds me, can mods move posts on this site? I can't think of a reason they wouldn't be able, just never seen it happen.
In case can move from my first post about Jehova.

On the USS Kittyhawk I worked in a secure space that had, conveniently, 3 briefing rooms with huge screens, and my office was in between all 3. So yeah we MAY have run cables that violated security between the rooms, and we MAY have had 4 xboxs running that also violates security policies, and I MAY have come in like second to last place every god damn stinking time.

Screwing around with the Iron Banner in Destiny >_> it's giving me higher rewards then the 41 Prison of Elders lol.
I feel bad though cause I'm riding the coat tails of the teams I get since I suck at PvP. Yeah, I was looking forward to Iron Banner for this reason. It's the way it used to be, too. I might actually get all three of my chars to rank 5 this week. It isn't insane to think that I could actually max out all three chars.

It's good, "best of all time" is pretty weak though, especially on an FF forum.
As for the rest...the key is "for consoles."
So I get it. It did a lot for consoles. From an accessibility standpoint.
But the game itself was nothing special, which has always been my point. It's solid, and looks great for its time. I'm not saying its bad.
Just overrated as a game.

By far my favourite book and would be nice if something saving private Ryan style was done with it. Onyx is one of the better ones.
My favorite scene from any of the books is John and the coin flip.

Jebus it takes forever to farm Belhelmels for Laser Cannons on disc 1 in VIII lol (didn't wanna play cards for 20 elnoyle cards)
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
