Not that i dont want to support the Phillipines. Its just that i dont like to mix gaming (or buying anything else) with aid donations.
Maybe i would like to support the Phillipines, but whats next? Supporting some gurilla group to change their gouvernment? (to take it to the extreme)?(
I have my own plan on aiding - i choose one place to donate my money, instead of spreading it around. But thats just my choise.
Dont mix gaming with other blurry stuff. Keep it as it is, please!:)
I'm not against supporting the Philippine Relief Fund, in fact I have given. And that is really my point. If you want to support it, then just give a donation
This sounds you will only give if you get something in return (Gold). Which is selfish not charitable.
GGS is already supporting Movember. If they want to give to the Relief Fund I'm sure they will. But if you want to support the Relief Fund than just give them a donation without any expectation of something for yourself, except the warm satisfaction of doing a nice thing
i would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all ur kindness, for all the helped and support that ur country given us.. we filipinos will never forget the kindness that all country given us.. my countrymen really needs help.. we are really greatful and thankful to every nation who still help and supporting us in our needs.. a simple prayer is a big that everybody can give to us
Hahaha what? Nobody said that GGS was donating to a guerrilla group. I thought the focus was on helping people after Typhoon Haiyan.
Our community is an international one. If some of our members are in a situation where (due to nothing they've personally done) they are in bad shape, what is wrong with helping them out? If GGS supporting disaster relief is going to get 1) more money for them, 2) actual benefits for real life people affected by disaster, 3) warm fuzzies for us, then what's wrong with that?
The point is that this might cause people who otherwise WOULDN'T contribute to a charity to actually do so. Super props to the people here who already have contributed to disaster relief, but if some sort of incentive system would help more people do so, I do not see the harm in encouraging people to buy gold if a portion would go to help those in need.
As for supporting guerrilla groups-- I SERIOUSLY doubt that this is an appropriate slippery slope argument. Natural disasters are nonpolitical. I don't think that it would be appropriate for GGS in representing an international community to be involved on contributing to political causes, but I see no harm for things like disaster relief, which, as I said, are nonpartisan and simply involve alleviating human suffering, regardless of who those humans are.
- i said "to take it to the extreme!"
But its difficult to mention something that i wouldnt aid, because rest assured somebody would turn up and scream at me - you wouldnt support that, you cheap *** something...
You have a point that maybe somebody would contribute, that otherwise wouldnt. Still, i dont like to mix up things too much. It gets blurry and difficult to see where my money goes. As i mentioned, ive already chosen who i want to aid, and by the way that organization is helping the Phillipines greatly right now.
Ive chosen to aid an organization that helps with basic needs as food and health issues; other people might want to help people get more education or whatever. Its a personal choice, and i prefer to keep it that way.
Don't forget that there are already some charities going on where you can easily help out if you want to. Also there are sites helping you setting up an own charity, like BetterPlace.org, which is the first one that comes to my mind that's trustworthy and helpful ^^
I want to remind you though that the Movember thing isn't affiliated by GGS in any official way, but a completely private drive we got going inside Community Management.
