To those of you with this mindset, kindly do us all a favor and get off your high-horses and shut the -blam!- up. The only way charities get donations is if they raise awareness. What better way to raise awareness than to start a trend that goes viral? The ice bucket challenge is a simple, yet very clever way to get millions of people to raise awareness over this horrific disease. Already over 20 million dollars in donations have been made to ALS research. That's a lot more than any of your asinine ramblings will do.

Yea, maybe we should donate water to the kids in Africa that have no water to dump on their heads for a stupid reason.
-
Sure is a good thing California hasn't had 3 consecutive years without any significant rainfall and is currently in an extremely serious drought. Oh wait...

Yes, I still think the challenge is extremely stupid. Let me explain why. The original rules were that you either give to the charity for ALS or you dump a bucket of ice water on your head which isn't that bad especially if you're use to swimming in lakes. Most people that I see doing it never donate, they just pour ice water on themselves so they can feel accepted, wasting millions of gallons of water. There's even lots of celebrities that do it just for their own ego with barely donating any money. People with millions of dollars that feel like a good summaritan for donating $100. Also, many, many people do not do it in a "safe place" such as a pool or lawn though I see it still being pointless as it is purified drinking water most times. Did you know that diarrhea is the #1 child killer in the whole world? And the cause of it? Unclean drinking water. Hell, that stuff is like liquid gold in other parts of the world, and that's besides the fact that we're in a drought right now. 97.5% of all the water in the world is salt water leaving only 2.5% fresh water. Of that 2.5%, 70% of it is frozen in the ice caps. 1% of the world's fresh water (~0.007% of all water on earth) is accessible for direct human uses. And that's without even counting the fresh water that's actually consumable. Have you heard of the Clean Water Act of 1972? It established that humans are to recognize the need to protect water. TL;DR There are things worse than ALS.

Instead of wasting clean water, why not bleach?

E.Bola is horrific. :/

Are you for real?

Why do all these millionaires (celebs) film thier stupid ice bucket challenge with a potato. Whats the point of being a millionaire of you can't buy a good camera.

"By pouring this water over my head, I'm saving the world"

dumping ice water on you is a shitty challenge. i remember back in the day when challenges were hard [spoiler]i'm reminiscing about you cinnamon challenge[/spoiler]

Just donate money -blam!- it
-
On another note, i read up on this one article. The more awareness you raise for one charity and money for one, another is losing out. Not being treated as well. And even though you feel as youve done moral goods for yourself by donating or helping one group. You are hurting another group. You said 20million to one group? Thats 20groups that couldve had a million. Depends on how you observe life i guess
-
I agree, this is not hurting any of you in anyway. So if you don't like it then don't look at them. Otherwise kindly shut the -blam!- up, it's for charity.
-
You are making sense, but who can take you seriously ever? I know I can't.
-
The people who do it, don't donate shit.

Why not both?

50 cents "ALS challenge" to Floyd Mayweather is great.
-
I would donate BEFORE doing the challenge. I would get wet and cold solely for entertainment. I mean. I'm pretty sure that most people who do the challenge donate as well.
-
-
If you do the challenge you should donate otherwise your just videoing yourself getting soaked by cold water, I've seen people who don't even mention that it's for ALS so it seems like they do it for fun
-
I have not yet seen any videos or whatever about the ice water challenge somehow.
