1 Answer1 week agoIs it unfair for community service hours to be important for students?
Some colleges and scholarships look at how many hours a high school student has spent volunteering. Going to a beach cleanup, doing a fundraiser for their school, etc. But what if the student has a part time job or a busy life? You can’t expect them to spend 40hrs for community service?

2 weeks agoWould you rather give to needy people in the US or the needy in another country?
I sometimes think it's better to give to the needy to other countries than to the needy in the US.
I know there are people in the US who have lost their homes due to fires and natural disasters, I think giving to them is fine and I have done so.
But I've had people at work ask me for money so they can buy their lunch. (I tell them 'no' and remind them that they have a job.)
And when I see people on the news standing in long lines, or waiting in their expensive cars, for handouts at the food banks, half of the people are obese and look like they could use a diet.
Not long ago, a local church brought my next door neighbor, who happens to be a welfare-queen with two kids, a half-dozen bags of clothes, toys and other donations for her.
The neighbor put the bags on her porch where they stayed, unopened, for months. One day the bags all disappeared. I think she might have thrown everything away since the bags were outside in the rain for so long.
If I donate anything, I prefer to send it to people in other countries, like Africa, because I know they'll appreciate it.
I used to give toys for the Toys for Tots, but stopped whenever I saw how the kids around here don't take care of them. Plus, the kids here all have grandparents and other relatives that buy stuff for them so I know the kids are getting toys.
Would you rather give to the needy in other countries or the U.S.? Why bother donating to people who are abusing the system don't appreciate anything.

1 Answer1 month agoDoes philanthropy pay off ?
I knew a bunch of philanthropic people growing up
A really nice guy got a job in corporate law
Another guy got a job in medicine
Another guy also got a job in medicine
Another guy became a chemistry professor
Another girl became a pharmacy professor
Another girl became a millionaire
These are all people who cared about those less fortunate than themselves and sacrificed themselves to help them
The corporate law guy helped people spiritually
The medical guy helped people socially
The other medical guy helped people legally
The chemistry guy helped people spiritually
The pharmacy girl helped people socially and emotionally
The millionaire helped people physically
They all used their time and body and talents and to aid those who were in need and they all had crazy good work habits
Now they all succeeded
1 month agoMeet up should really be called misfits?
I've been reflecting on the past few years in current lockdown and wanted to warn people about Meet up. I had returned back to the UK after being in the United States for 10 years. I was alone as a lot of my friends had moved on and were in relationships/married. I found meet up and thought it sounded like a great way to make friends. But literally the quality of people that you meet are the misfits of society. And I'm not being disrespectful. With the current situation in London if you read the newspapers, it's even more important for women to be careful about joining groups that are not vetted, meeting up with strangers, exchanging contact details et cetera. I am actually having flashbacks of some of the situations that could've escalated. Please think twice about joining groups with complete strangers. If you have to go please go with somebody that you know and trust, definitely do not go alone. Also be really careful about sharing details of your life or sharing contact details such as phone number. I also want to say that other than passing time you're not going to meet anybody worthwhile on meet up. A lot of these people have mental health problems/social anxiety et cetera. many people think that they can offload their problems on you or ask inappropriate questions. You just don't know who they are. organisers can't really be held responsible because they're getting paid so little for it, if indeed they are. I hope this helps someone.
