El Diablo has inspired me...(long post but its life changing)
When I was a little bit younger I remember that when my grandmother died and my grandfather was unable to care for himself. He lost his right lung in the World War II on the beach at the hands of a Nazi, yet still managed to raise my father and eight other children working as a Baltimore fire fighter for 32 years. My father wanted to move him into our house, but he refused fearing he'd be a burdon. What ending up happening was that volunteer hospice workers ended up coming to his tiny apartment every single day to check up on him, bath and feed him, and give him his medecine.
Diablo's post yesterday about the transitory nature of our each of our lives got me thinking what have I really done to help my fellow man? I am an active member of my church and a true christian. Ive had some problems in the past with high school and Ive always been a bit of a joker, but I would like to start a new day in my life. You always hear about charities on television that give a small portion of the money they collect, and bascially all of this started burying itself on my conscience and has inspired me (please dont laugh) to start and run a Charity. I realize that this is a big piece of cake for a normal guy like me to bite off, but with some hard work and reseach i should be able to cut into some of the competition. i thought that i would start with a website asking for donations for The Hurricane victims. One of my ideas was that I would not say that I was only giving to Black victims. i dont want to give into labels like other charities that only collect for blacks. does anyone know what government forms i need to fill out to declare my charity, and what is the exact percentage of profits that the law requires you to actually give to the charity you represent? also does anyone know if companies like walmart allow anyone, even small organizations or do they reserve all those little tables for boy scotts and red cross? i have about 20K of my own money saved up from playing poker that i am willing to invest into this business. i have to admit that i am a very determinite person but i could still use some help if anyone online is interested. think of all the people we can help, and think of how much money is out there waiting to be donated. with terrorists and hurricanes there will always be people in need, and others willing to give their money to help these people. sorry if this is disorganized, im just getting all my ideas out there. could use some help researching it all. does anyone here have any hands on knowledge or know anyone in the business? one of the problems is that my ride is busted. i guess i can take 5-6K out of that money and buy a new one. does anyone know how much exactly of the money collected has to be given to the charity? does anyone have any ideas for the future? where will people be giving their money next month? we need to be ahead of the crowd. also does anyone know the most effective way to get website hits? i thought id start by paying people to hand out flyers and maybe visit some churches and ask for time to speak in front of everyone. im going to search amazaon for some books on the charity business. thanks for your time reading this. we need to help our fellow man. they are someones mother and father. we are all one family. ((lets talk about the issue at hand, not past squabbles)) Thanks srry if this is bad but what about a charity that doesnt give to minorities? people are a little bit sickened by looters in NO. what if we cut the looters out entirely? another idea is to start a charity for former muslims (who admit to having terrorist thoughts) or gays who are thinking of converting to christianity.

[/ QUOTE ] Okay, pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody is waiting for it to hit rock bottom, so they can buy low. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are saying, "Hey, we're losing all our damn money, and Christmas is around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip! And my wife ain't gonna f... my wife ain't gonna make love to me if I got no money!" So they're panicking right now, they're screaming "SELL! SELL!" to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now, I can feel it.

Dude I'm sorry your ride is [censored] busted and you want a 6k new ride. But [censored] you for trying to pull it over under the premise of a charity. Get a [censored] job you 16 year old loser. Lamest attempt at quick money scam ever. I hope you're a Christian, at least then you believe in the hell that you're undoubtedly going to.
