Asshole Bashing Make-a-Wish

[nekosensei]

There was a real gem posted some time last night over on stupid_free.



Apparently, somebody thought it would be cute to bash Make-a-Wish and granting sick children last wishes in general.

...

I'm at a loss for words. Really? Geez. How callous can you be? How can someone be against making a sick kid's life a little brighter? I'm sorry, but kids don't have the life experiences that most adults do. If they have a last wish, if it's at all in your power, you give it to them.

So, because I'm feeling particularly bitchy about this, I headed on over to Make-a-Wish and made a $50 donation to my local chapter. doomsey and I have the money and we can afford it. I'm encouraging others to donate. Anybody else with me on this one?

Also, if you don't have the money, spread the word. In fact, spread the word anyway. Let's see if we can how much money we can raise for these guys.

Because, don't you know, every penny that someone spends on themselves and their family and NOT ON A CURE FOR TEH CANSORZ is a mortal sin and everyone who's ever been a little bit selfish when they bought themselves an iPod instead of donating that money to cure AIDS in Africa should be executed.

*rolls eyes*

There's being realistic, and there's being insane. The fact that this guy was convinced that because of the money we've donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation (instead of using it to PERSONALLY research a cure for cancer), we haven't cured all disease and created a perfect world leads me to believe that he's completely separated from reality. You can only do so much to help people in Rwanda, but you CAN do a lot to make sure a kid gets to have some fun before he or she dies.
