10 reasons why one should not donate to charity!!
-
gahmen is rich, enough said. if can spend $$$ on casino, why not donate some to charities regularly?? the responsibility of citizens' welfare shouldn't be on the citizens themselves One shouldn't owe others a living just becos one is better off than others gahmen also agree singapore dun owe anyone a living why should we donate just becos someone got cancer as he/she didn't take good care of health in the 1st place?? Our money is also hard-earned and we may not even get back fully in CPF. we're disadvantaged enough, PLEASE!!!!! we also know not 100% of the money donated goes to good use we no longer dun trust charity organisations we are auto on the donate-organs-when-you-die list, why can't our money be left alone too?? karma is the 4th influencing factor in a destiny and doesn't affect much. by being charitable, one will still suffer bad luck, loss of wealth and will still die!!
Newly added (by Honeybunz)~!! gahmen is donating and supporting charities. poor citizens like you and me NO NEED to donate liaoz~!!!

besides, it should be considered a birth defect. and the treatment for it isnt cheap either.
then theres the yellow ribbon project too, to help ex-offenders. we're not like them, we didnt do anything wrong to be rejected by society. all we want is to live and be accepted like normal women. is that really too much to ask? -

yah, here we pay taxes like shit~!! -
gst here is 12.5%.
The higher you earn, the more u pay in tax (but that if u earn more than 65k a year, normal people earn around 30-35k).
For students who want go uni to study, they can apply student loan to finance their studies.. which they no need to pay interest if they are studyin. They oni start to pay back when start working. Also they get pocket money from government every week...which they dun have to pay back at all.
Of cos, tis is all tax payer funded...so they r cases now n then of ppl who abuse tis system. -
Yes you are right. Mr Fugue may need them one day.Originally posted by alexkusu:i donate to cancer research...cos cancer sumtimes happen naturally n usually unavoidable.. especially in small kids -

I don't donate because I'm poor, so no noblesse oblige.

I do not donate.
I am keeping aside money so that hopefully we will be taxed more to allow a pay rise to our ministers so that they can help the charities more and thus negating the need for donations by the public.
