The Salvation Army has gone woke.
The charity is asking its white donors to do more than just drop some coins into the kettle when they go shopping this holiday season. Leaders of the Army want whites to apologize for being racist.

Not only that, but they mismanage the funds you give them. A very small percent actually goes to helping people.
If you want to help people, donate your time to a food bank or start your own foundation to help local families in need.
I'm so tired of the woke crowd
Fuck ‘em.
Proud racist/White Supremacist here. No shitskin will EVER receive an apology from me.

'The resource claims Christianity is inherently racist and calls for white Christians to repent and offer “a sincere apology” to blacks for being “antagonistic… to black people or the culture, values and interests of the black community.”'
One of the few legit charities. Mixed feelings about not giving to them because of one jerk off management liberal.
Salvation Army is one of the most efficient charities.
"The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 Billion dollar organization. Which means about $0.93 per dollar earned, is readily available and goes back out to local charity causes... truly amazing... and well done "Sally Ann". No further comment is necessary.Between $.80 and $.90 of every dollar donated goes to its programs."
In comparison, only about $.51 of every dollar donated to United Way goes to programs. The rest goes for administration and fund raising.
"Brian Gallagher, President of the United Way receives a $375,000 base salary (U.S. funds), plus so many numerous expense benefits it's hard to keep track as to what it is all worth, including a fully paid lifetime membership for 2 golf courses (1 in Canada, and 1 in the U.S.A.), 2 luxury vehicles, a yacht club membership, 3 major company gold credit cards for his personal expenses...and so on. This equates to about $0.51 per dollar of income goes to charity causes."

I read through the racism handbook and it doesn't appear to ask whites to apologize, more just to be aware of racism.
Maybe someone who is a better reader can find the exact quotes.
Read the above link for some real crooked charities. The Salvation Army is not one of them.

Charity starts locally.
Forget about these organisations, rather work with local communities where everything is done on a volunteer basis and there are zero 'admin costs' and bureaucracy. Donated food, prepared meals and supplies then go directly to the people in need.
How does donating locally do anything to help folks who lose everything in a catastrophic disaster such as a hurricane, major earthquake or flood that wipes out a huge territory.
Goodwill is even worse.
That's why you donate locally.
My contribution can be seen in my community.
I lived through Harvey, i spent every weekend helping people and gave more money to help families than any charity did per family. And i saw it working in action.
That same amount i donated only covers a few packages of water/food shipped to an out of state disaster. Because they pay a premium for shipping.
Plus, natural disaster relief is handled by the government if it is a catastrophic event. Unless you are talking about Haiti and Puerto Rico, where millions are sent and squandered by their own government.
The people in my area who need food and blankets i can give personally. I can personally supply several children in poor families with a wonderful gift that matters. No cheap blankets that aren't warm enough to help and children's clothing that is the wrong size.

Explain what this common saying means in your opinion.
Take care of your family and your friends before trying to save the world.
Is a statewide charitable organization such as OCF something you'd consider to be local? https://oregoncf.org
He works for the government.
Haha! That would be ironic.
heres a little glimpse into Fortress if u want to tangle with him or just yap on here
300 pound range, I believe has deadlifted and squatted into the 700s
worked at the single roughest most killers and hardest criminal prison in Canada for a number of years as a guard
Id piss my man pants if he came after me
What’s your point? Aren’t we all just yapping on here?
good point
resume yapping
Go buy Quarter Pounders and hand them out to the local homeless bums.
No wise stewards to skim off the top.
Yes well, when I really feel sorry for someone panhandling by the freeway with an 'I am hungry' sign, I do exactly that....go to nearest fast food place, buy them a meal and take it too them. It's more of a hassle than just handing them some money, but it seems like a better choice. I've also bought a bag of dog food for those with dogs at their side.
One the other hand, people who panhandle with their young children, make me angry, as do those with 'help out a veteran' sign. If they are in either of these situations, there are resources available. People who use their children as decoys are despicable. What's next? Maim children and put them on the street to beg, like sometimes happens in third world countries?
Those people panhandling by the highway are professional panhandlers. They usually work in organized "gangs" but also solo.
They dress up in old clothes to look like bums. They make hundreds of dollars a day.
The Salvation Army can suck my fucking dick.They would get a lot more donations if they did that.

Politics aside, I think it's safe that 99.9% of get biggers weren't giving a dime to this or any other charity.

Jesus- you have a complex where you think you are the sage of Getbig. How the fuck do you know what any of us do?
Just yesterday when I went to pick-up a prescription at Market of Choice which is a small independent local chain, there was nicely dressed man holding a homemade sign with his two bundled up toddlers sitting in child-sized lawn chairs next to him. I assume he was panhandling. I doubt he was there for long as the West Linn police hustle panhandlers out of the city ASAP. Still, pretty cunning of this father to set up shop outside a very high end market in an expensive neighborhood. In the few minutes it took for me to walk from my car to the store, a couple of people dropped paper money into his bucket. I'm surprised they didn't give him a $100 Visa gift debit card.
In the photo below, he was standing where the tulips were blooming last spring.
(https://www.marketofchoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/WestLinn-1200X925.jpg)
LOL.....
Prime why are you against helping out the needy?
You're okay that the police would force this man and children out of your city?
I am okay with it and for the reason I previously stated. There are numerous social service resources for people who are at or below the poverty level with children. There is no reason they should be panhandling.
Here are a few government programs:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Health Insurance Marketplace
Medicaid (Oregon Health Plan)
Child's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Subsidized Housing, Housing Vouchers, and Public Housing Programs
Supplemental Security Income Program (SSI)
Welfare or TANF
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) You need to have earned some money. I doubt earning it via panhandling counts.
Head Start
Low-Income Home Energy Program (LIHEAP)
In addition to the above are independent charities in most cities. These are a few very local ones:
West Linn Food Pantry (there are numerous food pantries in most cities)
Catholic Charities (one doesn't have to be Catholic to access their services)
Love Inc of Clackamas County
West Linn Lutheran Church
Northwest Children's Outreach Tualatin Center
SnowCap family services
Good Neighbor Center
Snowcap Communities Charities
And many, many more.
Have a care lest you wind up self-labeling as a card carrying "Caucasional", i.e., one who is "white" only when it benefits one to be so. Libs often do this. Okay...They always do this.
Just be careful, sir.
I am struggling to understand what you are saying or trying to say. I am a "card carrying Caucasian." My driver's license includes a photo of me which clearly shows my race. I cannot think of a time when my being white did not feel like a benefit...but then, I've never had the opportunity to be anything but white. So, I have nothing to compare it to.

"Caucasional" is a portmanteau word. It combines the words "caucasian" and "occasional", i.e., denoting, as John who created the word said, "someone who is white but only behaves or demands the supposed "privileges" of being white only when it is convenient/beneficial for them to do so.

So there is ZERO reason for panhandling?
What if he was homeless? Were you okay with Jim being forced out of your community?
Libtards don’t like it when homeless people and panhandlers stay in their area. It’s causes them great cognitive dissonance.
Some dark douche was asking me for change a while back,...I pulled out a 20 and said "If you were white Id give you this but you arent so you get nothing"

Okay, I get the definition which is pretends to be white when it is advantageous. How does this apply to me. I am white, I am not pretending to be white. Who is this person, John?
The Scott talks like an idiot 103% of the time. As much as your long winded posts can annoy me at times, at least you dont sink to the moronic levels of The Scott

Wow. It's as if we were in the presence of Maya Angelou. A $20? Really now, Louie...
leave it to you to be so overwhelmingly stupid as to think the amount of money was the key of the story

Regardless of political issues, I'd wager 99% of getbiggers don't give a dime to ANY charity.
Maybe, if they'd get some assistance if they had a " move from your mom's basement" charity LOL
How cute, you gave this well dressed father of well dressed little children a name in order to humanize him. You sure like to argue just for the sake of arguing.
I just wrote and deleted a simple explanation. Bottom line is that you don't know what you are talking about. Come live where I do for a year. If after that time you still have the same question, I will attempt answer it, despite my concern over the fact that you are beyond dense.
I shall attempt to explain it one more time. You are white but a "caucasional" is a white person that loathes the color of their skin except when acknowledging it when it beneficial to them.
I said to be careful not to become one. John was "Reeves" here. He and to a greater degree my mother, are responsible for my phraseology. I do not know if you knew him here. I knew him in person. Much smarter than I but kind enough not to belittle someone like me. Thanks for asking.
First off, thanks for your patience with me. Try though I did, I struggled with understanding what you were saying.
So now that you've clarified it for this out-of-touch old fart, let me say that I (a white person with not a spec of anything else going back for centuries), have never loathed the color of my skin. Unless it counts against me that when I was a youngsteenster (my weak attempt at portmandeau), Ilikedlived to lay out in the sun, to get a tan, which destroys one's skin. this is probably the reason I now see a dermatologist on a regular basis to check for skin cancer, which I've had. My hide would be much 'prettier' today if I'd applied sunscreen as opposed to iodine mixed with baby oil when I was a dumteenster (am I pushing it?). There are photos of me when I was still an infant looking very dark as a result of crawling around the beach on Nantucket Island eating cigarette butts (what the fuck?), or so my mom told me.
Blacks supposedly have ginormous penises. Some white guys (or so I've heard ;D), wish their fuck tool was epic an 'mandingo' penious. I just admitted to having penis envy...oh well.
Scott, this is a thing I truly truly believe in
People, everyone, including myself, should die at 70. All of us, not pretend dead like you think you are, but dead.
After 70 we are all tit useless and a burden to society. No more senile presidents, no more old tards talking stupid like you do, no more useless old geezers contributing nothing to society. Sure I know theres 1% who probably are good for the world, but who cares. Auto death at 70. The world would be monumentally better

I have been where we are all going. I know what awaits you. I know what awaits me. But, I will only say that which I think someone is capable of understanding. Whether or not you or anyone else chooses to believe the words of anyone, including myself, on any subject is entirely up to them.
It is difficult for many to hear the truth because they feel it is not "theirs". You have made your choice. I know you.
You appear to be one of those individuals that prefer to be taught a lesson rather than learn something useful. You have no idea and so you will be taught.
I am out of white crayons.

Now I won't feel bad walking buy the SA bucket and not giving them a penny!Very true.
If I"m to apologize for my racism towards blacks, I want blacks to apologize for the fact that their race commits the majority of all serious crime, and doesn't contribute to the US economy at nearly the rate of all other races.

Lol what else are they supposed to do with their kids, put them in daycare?
Anybody who is willing to stand on the side of the road and beg for money is going through a rough time, I don't put more thought behind it than that. In America, practically anyone w a big medical bill and a string of bad luck can end up homeless. Could happen to an of us, so yeah if I have cash on me I'll give it out. I've been very blessed in my life and I'm happy to share that with others
A panhandler's time would be better spent applying for and getting all available social services. BTW, what makes you think all panhandlers are homeless? .
one thing you can be damn sure about is the BADASS in the bmw doesn’t give 2 shits about you , no matter how cool you once wereI hear that .......great post.
Mcdonalds drive thru today 2 fukwads begging for money from people going throughwhat was their race
fuk them
fuk everyone
what was their race
Howard fuck off out of my thread
you ever see a thread of mine just keep moving and dont post in it
you are never ever welcome in one, or on this board. You are too stupid to realize that
take this question seriously cause the curiosity kills me
Being so massively hated on here, and EVERYONE wants you to fuck off, why do you keep coming here?
I personally would never keep coming to a place where the entire population hates me. Thats just common sense

Like Shizzo...negative attention is still attention. The alternative is the real world, which is much worse.
both were white guys
I never said they were all homeless but I’m sure a large number are. Applying for social services is difficult when you a) may not have a permanent address b) may not know of available social services c) may not have a computer/smart phone to apply for said social services d) may not qualify for social services due to arbitrary means testing
You seem happy to blame these individuals for their circumstances. That’s fine; I see it as a failing of society personally
Again, a string of bad luck is all that separates us from them
I'm not blaming them. However, IMO one of the reasons for there being so many folks down on their luck is that they don't take responsibility for what happens in their lives. This lack of responsibility seems to be epidemic in recent years.
Prime, I wonder how these younger studs will be living when their our age?
LOL, maybe their mother will leave them her house.
That way they can rent the top part and still live in the basement.
I just stole some Salvation Army bell ringer's pot of money and kicked him in the giblets just for fun.
I got $17.
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with having a place in one's parents house as long as everyone is in agreement and no one is freeloading. My son and daughter-in-law's house in Germany has an apartment in the daylight basement. It was my eldest granddaughter's quarters prior to marriage and currently it is my grandson's habitat.
I've read where multi-generational homes are becoming more commonplace in the U.S. There are several in my neighborhood. Not sure how many have four generations like we do. Ours works because each generation has their own space.
was at Superstore today and they had a bucket ,...walked by and told the lady to fuck right off..........I feel better after that
You should have tackled her and plundered the bucket $ in the name of Get Big.
Then, post the video here, so we can experience your triumph over this sidewalk menace. ;D
Don't spend it all in one place. :)
actually
I will do something similar and post it on here
ill do it tomorrow
In kind donations of contest prep advices were given to Bhank in good faith when he was preparing for that contest. Look where that got us.
Hear ya my friend but lighten up . ;)
I was trying to make a joke about the typical get bigger ( *LOL living in his mom's basement)
Their whole operation is a scam...
I did 2 stints in one during my drug using days, 1st time was a year...finished in 6mnths but drove for them for another 6mnths and lived there. Had to pay almost $500mnth for a tiny ass room. 2nd time was for 3mnths before I was kicked out. Their "captains", or the ministers, which are always husband and wife, receive a paid for house away from the neglected areas salvation armys are always located in and pay no taxes.
The money they make from purely donated items from clothes to high end furniture and art fund everything and line their pockets. Christmas time, the ones I was affiliated with anyhow, had armed off duty cops whenever they had to change out the tubes of money and brought back to the office. Thousands a day...once some lady handed in her huge diamond ring because she thought the money actually went to good in helping ppl out. Couldn't be further from the truth.
If by chance you check into one and still have some sort of bank account or pension or whatever they become the sole beneficiaries and literally drain every penny they can find.

What I wrote was not defensive, it was merely an observation and a statement of fact.

I don't think you were defensive , but we both know something always gets "lost in translation" with internet communication.
No question, society will always need people to produce the next generation of responsible citizens.
You know my PERSONAL view on not having my own kids.
BUT, I hope you also know I think being a good parent is one of the toughest jobs there is.
For some it's stressful and an ordeal , but for many more, it looks like a "labor of love"
Being a parent, grandparent and in the last few years, a great-grandparent I can safely say the raising kids is both a labor of love and at times a royal pain in the ass.
Nothing worth having comes without a price . ;)
Wow, a GREAT grandpa. I didn't realize you were.
Might be funny is some tech savvy getbigger made a " 4 generations of Prime" photo-shop montage ;D
Please no. My kids, grandkids and great-grandkids are all way better looking than I have ever been.
So, you're saying they have a shot for a decent life 'eh ;D

Meanwhile the local charity here in my City has an overwhelming amount of gifts, blankets, clothing, general supplies and food.
So much we are shipping almost a quarter of it to another City a few hours away.
The company i work for is single handedly taking care of 37 families.
Not one person made a paycheck off any of these donations.
All items donated are 100% accounted for and published publicly.
All volunteers committed hundreds of hours of time over the last 3 months.
By donating your time you give the greatest gift of all.
Donate local. Where you can actually make a difference.
