Have any of you done the ALS ice bucket challenge?

[IGotWorms 4,057]

Is the 15 minutes up for this yet?

Seems like it was up weeks ago.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh sh!t, I'm agreeing with posty. Better reevaluate my life at this point

Close to 100 million raised because of this. Unreal.

Good for them...

[NewbieJr 541]

That was the point of the whole thing, remember? Although it doesn't surprise anyone that a bitter old boring doosh like yourself has a problem with people having fun with something.

[cbfalcon 825]

So, MY challenge wasn't good enough. :middlefinger:

 

It was plenty good enough. But it took until today for me to find a bucket.

I'm starting to doubt your creative skills, if you couldn't figure out a way to improvise something.

And wasting water...

 

And putting ice in a bucket and dumping on their head three seconds later acting like the water is 20 degrees...

I let mine sit for ten minures before application.

[Big Blue 06 195]

Anyone that has a problem with this really is a bit of a doosh. Yes, it's a bit attention whoorish, but if it raised that much money, so what? And I was just challenged, so I'll be donating and doing it soon.

wasting water!! Lolololol

 

And yeah. The over reactions are very troublesome. Almost not worth the 100 million. ROFL

[mobb_deep 920]

 

Feel free to give me props and I want to see the video

 

I forbid you to wear boxer briefs

 

 

For those that have not seen my video.

 

 

Haha. That was awesome! Well done man.

Some people are just miserable cvnts. A lot of them seem to hang out here.

When your life sucks, you hate to see anyone else having any fun. I laugh at bitter old curmudgeons like posty. And thank my lucky stars that I'm not them.

[phillybear 366]

I've been sending constant thoughts and prayers that ice cold water is the leading cause of ALS.

[edjr 6,580]

Haha. That was awesome! Well done man.

 

Thank you!

wasting water!! Lolololol

So how is this not wasting water?

[Sho Nuff 720]

Here is what you do posty...make yourself famous.

Post a video of you pouring the contents of your toilet (after a giant deuce) over your head and use it to raise money for water conservation.

Aw gee, you sure are funny Goober...

 

[cbfalcon 825]

So how is this not wasting water?

 

"Wasting" it would be people using up our water for no reason. In this case, people are paying anywhere from $10 to $100 for a bucket of it. I haven't done the math, but that seems like overpaying for it as oppose to wasting it.

 

And then lets consider what happens to the water. If you do it over grass, are you not somewhat watering grass? If you do it by a pool, are you wasting anything? Obviously there are variables and percentages, but how much is being wasted?

[posty 2,671]

I don't know and really don't care...

 

Just wondering when the 15 minutes are over...

I disagree with donating to the ALS foundation. Even with a 100 million dollars the cure is decades away. An extremely small percentage of the population ever suffers from ALS.

 

The 100 million dollars would have had a much larger impact if it was donated to a malaria foundation, alzheimers foundation, or multiple - sclerosis foundation.

 

Plus there was a recent study showing that money donated to ALS is money that would have been donated to other charities.

 

One could make the argument that the ice bucket challenge is actually negatively effecting the research of more common diseases.

I would go with even further away for a cure, even if at all...

[NewbieJr 541]

Suddenly posty doesn't care once someone proves how stupid his statements are. lolol

I never cared to begin with... Was just asking a question...

 

And as I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't do it even if I was challenged...

Is it "Cure or bust" or do we consider it a success if they find ways to improve the quality of life for people with ALS?

 

And in regards to the cure for ALS being decades away.... Is there a chance that 5 decades becomes 3 due to research they can afford to do now? If so, is that worth it? How does only worrying about the very short term with no eye looking long term normally work out for us in other aspects of life?

So what? When there is only three or four active topics here, you have to post in something...

[NewbieJr 541]

posty asked the question three times about wasting water. Once cbfalcon made an ass hole out of him, he didn't really care. You can't make this stuff up folks. ROFL

 

 

And no one on the board ever had any doubt that you wouldn't do it. You're as fun as a herpie

And it is still wasting water, so what if one small section of grass is green while the rest if brown... Some parts of this world don't have the luxury to waste water like this and California could sure use some with their drought...

Then those other foundations should start a catchy way to raise money rather than cry about it.

posty only seems to care about telling people what things he doesn't care about.

wasn't he very active in the world cup thread...about something he didn't care about?

Probably, but like I said earlier, either be active in the three or four posts for the day or don't post at all...

But why not spend the money and time researching a disease that effects more people.

 

I do believe that ALS research should be conducted, but the 100 million that has been donated would have improved the quality of life of a greater number of people if it was donated to researching a more common disease.

Or come up with something good to post yourself?

Or does that take too much energy?

Exactly. Those charities get the short shrift because they didn't have some cutesy little Facebook marketing campaign. This is what I was trying to say from the start, but good luck, you will be labeled an ahole for daring to question

Irony.
