Is Anyone Interested In An Apolyton Hurricane Relief Fund?

[Deity Dude]

If someone can set one up I will donate $50. If no one wants to set one up I will. I suggest all proceeds go to the Red Cross.

Mods;

If you think this is a worthy cause please top this thread

[Ben Kenobi]

yeah I think this is a good idea.

Kudos to DD for thinking of this.

Maybe I should give blood to help out oh Wait, I can't cause I'm gay. F*cking FDA. sorry /ends rant

[Ben Kenobi]

I find it interesting the fixation on the things that one cannot do, rather than what one can do.

[Deity Dude]

Lets not make this thread about ANYTHING but helping those in need.

Thorn if u wanna help - give money. If u wanna make a political statement - start another thread.

America is a country with alot of resources as far as I know, why would they need charity to handle this crisis?

[General Ludd]

I agree. This would be a worthy thought if it happened anywhere except the USA. Especially when it's to help a bunch of people stupid enough to live in a coastal city that's bellow sea level.

Mods:

If you think this is a good cause please top this thread and remove all politcal statements.

This is truly meant to be a charitable idea and I don't want it to turn into a political/social debate.

I repsect all peoples points of view. Please respect my right to have a non-political charitable thread.

Well good luck to you all, my point is that America shoots itself in the foot during emergencies over some dogma and hate.

I'd spare some money except that I can't, I make less then $6000 dollars a year without having to pay for outrageous gas prices. I wish I could, but I can't, I'm running low on food also so can't help there. The only thing I could do was give blood but I can't cause my government says I'm inelligable, even though I've had 1 partner for 5 years with no STDs with either of us. I find it pretty pathetic what the FDA did, being that half of all HIV in the USA is in black straight Females, I guess the FDA doesn't dare try to stop them from giving blood even though they are the highest risk group, be racist wouldn't it?

I've said my peace of why I can't help, so I'll we begone for now, I wish you all luck.

I can also do with donations, preferably in beer and money

HEY... If you like the idea and want to help... PLEASE POST....

If you want to make a political statement, or spam this thread... YOU ARE TOAST.

Who want's to be first?

[Ming]

I see some people didn't take that seriously... the next post I delete will earn the poster a restriction... no more warnings!

[Deity Dude]

Ming as a moderator do u think you could talk to the owners of the site to set up such a fund. I think it would be great if Apolytoners contributed $xx,xxx.xx.

I also think people would be more comfortable about sending it to apolyton as opposed to me or some other individual.

And for all those with a political ax to grind - remember I am not talking about Americans here I am talking about human beings that happen to live in America.

Why don't you send a PM to MarkG and DanQ... You don't need me to act as a messenger
