I took this from Moonrider up above give him credit for this NOT ME
There once was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore, as he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day and he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man, and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something, and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
He called out, “Good morning, what are you doing?”
The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”
“I guess I should have asked: WHY are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them then they’ll die.”
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. There must be thousands of them on this beach alone. You can’t possibly hope to make a difference!”
The young man listened politely, then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “To THAT one, it made a difference.”

This is still pointless charity. Just like the kid that got to play Batman with a thousand people involved this summer in San Francisco. Meanwhile, hundreds of children in the first world perish under horrible conditions, because it’s not worth helping them.

So this placebo-charity can suck it.

blow a load of cash on ONE kid, and spread it through all mass media to show how great you are, ignore everyone else.

Youre wrong dude (watchy)!
Just try to answer the question: how will you help everyone?
mmmh, i think, if you really want to, you have to start helping “someone”, right?
So helping all… is maybe not a matter of one person, maybe … of all.
charity by all, helps all.
aha … the socialsystems.
welcome to reality!

By the way if you have a chat with Challenger its fascinating, he has more Operational experience on Tanks than anyone I have ever met and some amazing stories.

Its pretty apparent that whatever the EU bunch do you will bash them so, as for the Challenger Umm he organised the Warchild Charity which I personally thought was a fantastic idea and helped loads of people, so passive well I couldn’t disagree more.I see him on loads of events and he has always been the first to help out our Clan.

Yes, but that doesn’t change the fact it helps nonetheless.
