Difference between
 
Giving money to charity or 'charitable acts'. For instance, in my view, going to read to a lonely blind person (for example) is charity as much (or more?) than giving a pound in the street to a chugger.

Your quote:

" It should not be assumed that charity is a "good thing". There are powerful arguments which show that it does NOT help people."

Would have me think you would be adverse to this example. So, I was just clearing up whether you thought of this as charity or you were merely talking about financial donations.

I heard that Ewans panniers were full of inflatable fake luggage and the only weight in them were the pre-signed photograhs of himself and Script of Starwars so he could keep quoting his old lines for the whole series..

Charlies bags were genuinely heavy so he could wheelie his bike in every episode.

:innocent:

sad
 
After having read this enormously interesting thread I just couldn't leave without saying how sad I feel for juddadredd. It must be really difficult to be so angry all the time. He is lucky to have his parents waiting for him at home (check his site). Must be nice for him to be there around Christmas and not somewhere else.

Get the anger out of the system and live a little, please.
