Originally posted by dEsidEL TD supports charities like the Children's Miracle Network and Friends of the Environment.. the money could have gone there. we hav a campaign running for it right now and I've been donating canned goods at work for the past week and a half.. but if it was really money destined for a bank machine then it wasn't really donated , just returned to the rightful owner be it an individual or a bank for that matter

shit man ppl are so naive. IMO shit like united way, unicef,etc....i dont believe in it. its bullshit. they just keep the money and it goes to like making bombs. get this: why in the holy fuk would the americans go bomb a country or ruin it (ie. like most countries in africa--ya the US iS all responsible for the poverty over there! it wasnt born a 3rd world continent, it was made..by the US ) and then ask the citizens for money to help the africans back out??????? so first the kill the africans...and then they help them?? there is noo fukin logic in that! hahaaa omg this is just so funnny how ppl can believe that they are actaully making a difference with the $$ they give.

anyway, a bank supporting charity? i dont think so. thats just wut i think.

see if i was to donate money to (ie.the africans) then i would give it DIRECTLY into their hands. wen u pass it on from person to person then how can u trust that they are gonna give it to the person who's collecting the donations? he might not collect anything...or something small..a penny heh

Originally posted by drgoodvibe even after giving up the 40K, TD gave her a 2,000 rewward for returning it, However the government told her that, that 2,000 would be taken out of her welfare cheques. So she even gave the reward money back! Mcquinty then invited her to parliament and promised that she would be able to keep the 2K and have a regular welfare cheque. I must admit, it feels good to know that people like this still exist.

And I must say they should've taken those $2,000 out of her welfare cheque... she doesn't deserve to keep any of that money, being that stupid. Sure, honesty is honesty, but this is way into the realm of stupidity.

you've just gotta pick the right kinda charities to partake in .. not all of them are run the same way

Whenever I head back to India I generally make donations directly to the people who need them. Be it the homeless or a collective fund for temples or ashrams or whatever.
Giving it directly to those who need it does feel better I must admit. But I don't think all charity organisations are bogus.

How is returning something that isn't yours stupid?

Wouldn't that be otherwise called, "stealing"?

When I saw this on th news, I heard there were orange TD tags on the bag.

The original reasoning was that it was a mistake while refilling a machine.

BTW, Pulse24 did a poll on this, and 60% of the callers in said they would have kept the cash.
