10 reasons why one should not donate to charity!!

last SG · 2005-11-05T12:58:23+00:00

yes, the meaning of ''donate'' still stands true........ ...........but it's now added with ''manipulated'' infront, that's the problem~!!

The Emperor SG

i'm trying to clarify with u people that being fit doesn't guarantee you not diagnosed with cancer one day.

cancer strikes anyone, regardless of age and health.

i've been thru that so i can bravely say it here.

miaomiao11 SG

overcoming it is not easy, for tht u earn my respect Wink

Mr Fugue SG

no, it doesn't.

it's destined~!!

if you're destined to have cancer, you will have.......

if you're not destined to have cancer, you won't have.......

dragg SG

that does not mean they dont deserve help.

do you ever jaywalk? you know its dangerous but yet you do it. let's say if you jaywalk and a car hit you and drive off. i happen to see it. i walk to you and tell you "you know jaywalking is dangerous and wrong yet you do it". i walk off without helping you.

right or wrong?

no_1_idiot SG

Wonder why e only comment WInter Skill can make in a lot of topics is Mr. Green ,,WTH is he doing>?//?/

Mr Fugue SG

he listened to too much jay crap that alot of his brain cells died.

so he cannot think clearly what he wanted to post. Laughing

Mr Fugue SG

I'm a model citizen. Mr. Green

That is the myth partly perpetuated by the government..."Live a healthy lifestyle and you will not fall sick"...

It almost seems the government is trying to pin the fault on us when we fall sick, so we have to pay for expensive medical treatment.

In fact, statistically speaking, it is cheaper to the nation in terms of healthcare if people die from heart attacks, since 50% of those who do die from heart attacks die from their first attack (data is outdated now and figures may change but you get the drift). On the other hand, people with a healthy lifestyle may live longer. But we all have to die one day...old people tend to have a higher risk of cancer and treatment of cancer is more expensive.

So perhaps if the government wants to save more money, they should encourage us to eat all the crabs we can find and all die from our first heart attack at a young age.

Wrong...you should call the police to fine the jaywalker and jail the hit-and-run driver. Then you can walk off... Mr. Green

The Emperor SG

right or wrong is only perceived by each individual.

there's no right or wrong, rather, how u perceive it to be.

The Emperor SG

Cancer changes my point of view about life.

It teaches me that life is fragile and we ought to take good care of it.
Not only that, we need to find out where our passion lies and fulfill our purpose we have here on earth.

Time waits for no man. So, cherish this short life and start making a difference in other people's lives. Better to be generous than keeping everything to yourself. I believe the generous will eventually be rewarded, be it here or in the afterlife.

Those times of struggles and pain taught me the meaning of love and opened my eyes so I could see who are the ones that are truly my friend and my love ones.

I then realised what love and friendship is all about.

I agree with most except about the karma and cancer.

One of my husband's family relatives died of cancer recently - she is a doctor herself. Her husband is a doctor too but left earlier (not cancer) than her. Her daughter has cancer too but still treating and under control. My aunt is still fighting intestine cancer , and her husband died of liver cancer. Her daughter has some health problem but unidentified.

I believe the reason for their suffering of cancer is because of their lifestyle, especially the way they eat. As for the doctor who passed away, it is hereditary. Just like my friend who have lost dad, mum and sister due to brain tumor/cancer. He himself has won a battle over intestine cancer but he can't have kids for fear of passing the bad gene.

Its really unpredictable for those who suddenly hear the bad news. For those who have bad genes - its not their choice either.

Karma - I believe charity is an important element in karma. Do more good deeds so that you will be rewarded in short-term karma or your next life.

dragg SG

so many in the family has cancer?

The Emperor SG

sometimes, it has nothing to do with genes.

i'm the only one in my entire family history to have cancer and miraculously recovered from it. all thanks to God.

NuLife SG

Agree on the cancer part, it can strike anyone.
EXCEPT those who smoke so much and get lungs cancer.

Kidney patients, some of them really don't care much
about their health.
Likewise for Heart Attack/high-blookd pressure patients.

Again, not all of them are like that, but bad enough.

So I guess, the only charity worth donating, if you want,
is Cancer Foundation.

NuLife SG

What sort of cancer did u get may i ask??

The Emperor SG

I agree on that.

Cancer is something not to be played around with.
For those who haven't been through it, they don't understand the pain and agony one has to bear during all the treatments. It's currently the number one killer disease in singapore.

dragg SG

there are many factors involved when it comes to cancer. it is not just smoking. dengxiaoping is a heavy smoker but was extremely healthy.

oxford mushroom SG

Yes, and Nat King Cole was a smoker and died of lung cancer at 45. There are more people like Nat King Cole than Deng Xiaoping out there. Question is: do you know which are you?
