Don't always look for the bad in things.
The goal of this was, raise awareness for ALS and get donation money.
Obviously for most people they won't look into the disease or donate, but some people still will and thats the goal. Otherwise people would never be talking about this.
Also yes, a good citizen would not require a viral internet challenge to donate money but the reality is there are tons of diseases and a lot of them don't get the attention they deserve and will continue not to.

yeah im sure glad the people that support facebook are not donating but instead doing a stupid challenge in which most of them dont raise awareness
this will barely help, when have you heard of a big fundraiser like this actually helping. it will be forgotten and so will all the people that suffer from ALS

yeah have fun circle jerking around all the positivity, when the only donations to the place were people that were going to donate to things like that anyways. my point is that most people aren't donating, but feel good about the situation anyways, its a false sense of being a good person when they aren't. at least ill acknowledge im a piece of shit

im not circle jerking and im also a piece of shit, but i can still see something as not negative, even if it's small. i don't give a shit if you see it or not, i usually hate things too man, i get you.

ur wrong
Quote: | Washington, D.C. (August 19, 2014) — As of Tuesday, August 19, The ALS Association has received $22.9 million in donations compared to $1.9 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 19). These donations have come from existing donors and 453,210 new donors to The Association. |

Also this has nothing to do with individual people, I'm not involved with/supporting this at all and I doubt you are. I would never donate my money, but no need to bash something like this for no reason.

you arent worth anything. you dont bring value to anything. iirc you still live with your parents who makes no money and havent taken any initiative to help but simply just waste your financial aid money on stupid shit. all you do is try to voice your opinion to a dead community because your opinion in irl is worth less than shit. stop your immaturity and grow the fuck up. even though most these people dont care about ALS, they at least raise the awareness which caught attention for people that do.

I may have stepped out of line, I apologize for that. Didn't say it out of spite or grudge, I'm just not the type to sugarcoat anything and sometimes that comes at a consequence. Could have delivered it in a better way, but doesn't make it any less true nor does it matter now.
