So this thing about the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money and awareness for ALS - I'm sick of it. You?

It's now become a fad, passive-aggressive bully technique to shame people into donating for a cause they may or may not give a shit about.

Now let's sit and watch how many other charities are going to devise some scheme to shame you out of money and making a public spectacle of yourself in the process.

What's even funnier is some comments on FB I see where people have no clue that you're supposed to donate real $$ as well as dumping water on your head and one comment I saw was someone having sympathy for the 'cause' but it's such a shame that they're wasting so much water when it's such a precious commodity and scarce.

Capt. Picard ends it this way.

Yeah....how about the prostate cancer awareness roll in pig shit challenge? Or maybe the feed starving children eat 10 hot dogs challenge?

Average FB moron. Spout off without knowing ALL the information/facts about something. Oh wait a minute.....same description as a liberal/progressive!

........and one comment I saw was someone having sympathy for the 'cause' but it's such a shame that they're wasting so much water when it's such a precious commodity and scarce.

What? Guess they never heard of a little thing called RAIN, or the Great Lakes, Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific, Indian etc oceans or lakes fucking Victoria, Baikal amongst other HUGE fucking bodies of........uh.....WATER!

Moron.

Kudos to Patrick Stewart.

I must admit though that it's kinda entertaining to see some of the celebs do it. George Takei made an entertaining production of it and WWE head Stephanie McMahon showed a set most men would be proud of.

Fuck Ice Bucket challenges. Bunch of dumb bullshit white people do.

I far prefer to read entertaining stories of Americans going to Syria and becoming Jihadis as opposed to some white people awareness shit. At least the former are more interesting than the latter.

Well, Mike Rowe is as awesome as ever. He lucidly explains this nonsense in a way very opposite of my "fuck them and their bullshit" opinion!
