Government force charity upon us

[SWP's back]

I detest this kind of intrusion. If I wanted to donate to charity I'd do it off my own bat without some do gooder rattling a fucking tin in my face.

This is what I'm getting at. If I wanted to give to charity then I'd do so on my own back, not because I'm put on the spot by a cashier. The chances are the charities you're able to donate to via this method are limited, whose going to draw a list of these charities up? What if they don't have my charity on the list? Will I have to give it to someone else? Why should my chosen charities miss out on thousands of pounds because they either won't give the Government a % or because they're not deemed big enough?

The idea looks good on the surface but isn't so good when looked into deeper.

You are about as deep as a puddle.

You say intrusion. How is it coming up on the chip and pin intrusion. You can choose not to. It is all about freedom of choice.

You don't want any charities to benefit unless your chosen ones are on the panel?

You keep saying they will give the government a % but back that up with nothing (not to mention how it would also be illegal).

I suspect your OP was just another little dig after you and your peers current chagrin with the government. You make me sick with your mock outrage.

Grow up.

Awww have you had a bad Christmas SWP? Never mind I'm sure your next dinner party will cheer you up.

Oh do shush.

Sorry charity boy.

Yes - I am such a bad person for that.

OK - rather than just ignoring your previous post, lets be frivilous and indulge you.

What services in your opinion will become charities for this to be an indirect tax?

Or did you just think that sounded good (it didn't).

As for what I give, you have no right to tell me what I give is too little or too much, as with this, it is personal freedom. After seeing my father battle cancer and my mother heart disease and the wonderful people that attended them, I am willing to give whatever I can afford to help (in a tiny way) ensure, that other families may receive the same compassionate care that mine did.

Nob.

Can I just ask what is the point in this? Why are they wasting time thinking of these things when they clearly have bigger things to sort out i.e the whole bleeding country. They're trying to force something upon us which should be optional only. I don't want to be stood waiting at the cash machine whilst someone ponders giving money to a charity nor do I wish to be put on the spot and asked the same thing in the shop, especially if the lines are growing by the second. Complete waste of time. This is a time where parents are having to save up for any children they have from the day they're born if they wish to send them to University, not a time when they should be stood in Asda with ten people behind them asking whether they wish to fund some scheme which I'm sure if they truly cared about they'd have checked out at home. I wonder if one of the charities will fund those in poverty in the UK and fund the University fees for them.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Government implemented a charity tax either.

Are you one of those stupid people who can't say "no" and have to give to or buy anything that is offered? If not (and I assume you must be bud due to your post), then what is your problem? If you actually knew how much charity money is given on the spur of the moment would you still be complaining, probably so as you come across as a miserable bastard! I collect for charity from time to time and I'm fortunate that most people are either compassionate human beings and give a little or have the spine to say "no thank you" unlike yourself.

Aren't you the guy who pretends to be from America?

Anyway, read the thread to see my full opinion.

How very glib.

You saying that giving to charity is bad? Or just that those administering charitable bodies shouldn't be paid (even though they often are trying to run mutil-million pound budgets etc like a large company and it is a full time job)

Don't like having a tin shaken at me, but I can't see the problem in taking a couple of more seconds in a shop or at a cash machine to decide if I want to give a few pence to charity. The important word here being decide. There's fuck all being forced on me is there?

You'll have a small selection to pick from.
