Re: The Make a Wish Foundation
[ QUOTE ]
Personally, I'd much rather donate to the Make-A-Wish than to something like AIDS research. AIDS is a fully preventable disease. Many of these kids have terminal forms of cancer that they didn't contract by sharing needles or engaging in unprotected sex. [/ QUOTE ] tell that to the millions of kids who are BORN with AIDS and have no choice in the matter. or to the people whose backasswards third world churches or leaders tell them they can cure AIDS by having sex with virgins, that condoms don't work or are against god's will, etc. jesus christ. AIDS is a terrible epidemic that could even further destabilize world health if it mutates and becomes more hardy.

I was thinking in terms of a North American perspective. But you definitely make a good point.

Re: The Make a Wish Foundation
Forgot to mention something. Even though NT!'s points are valid, that still doesn't change the fact that AIDS is indeed 100% preventable. Okay - no more threadjacking from me...

Re: The Make a Wish Foundation
This retardo argument hinges on a flawed premise that this money would be otherwise availalbe if not for MAW.
The sappy folks who donate to stuff like this are less likely to give money to the feed the starving baby gay black kids association. That's lame, but it's also true.
