What I mean is that if money is so tight that you can buy your daughter a laptop but can't give to charity, then you probably can't afford the laptop - and I stand by that statement.
If your credit is good enough to finance a laptop, then you've got enough money to give some to charity. If you've got spare change enough to buy a laptop, you've got spare change enough to give to charity. There are very few situations I can think of in which you had the money for a laptop but truly didn't have any extra money to give to charity. I mean, I guess in theory you could come up with one - but I'm speaking generally.
There's hardly a person on this forum who couldn't give time, money, or items to charity.
What if your daughter wants a very expensive lapdance?
Should she be expected to give that up
to feed 500 people for a week?
I mean, is it really her problem?

Is she giving or receiving?

When did giving to charity become a moral requirement?
To remain consistant with the OP, recieving... obviously.

WHAT if you CAN afford a LAPTOP for your daugther but thats all you have got?
it is possible Kathryn..
And besides that how would it ever be equal even if you can buy your daughter a laptop and on TOP of that afford to throw a couple of bottled waters out to the "poor" at the same time? It still wouldnt be equal.
And for the record I "give" to charity.Starting with my own family.

Hmmm.Well then she is a spoiled brat who needs to go out and serve the public for at least 20 hours of community service to repay society for the lap dance.It shouldnt be "free" for her to buy" without paying extra for the priveledge of being able to buy that.

Hmmm.
I wonder...
What is the going "charity rate"?
I mean, how many people am I required to help in order to by my daughter a new laptop?
And if I buy her a used laptop, does the "charity rate" still apply?
Sigh. Dallas, I am not judging you. I am simply trying to answer your questions logically.
OK - IF you only have $500 in the bank, and you have the opportunity to buy a laptop for $500 - you've got a couple of options.
I'd start by saying that if you only have $500 in the bank, you probably shouldn't spend it on a laptop.
But - that's your choice. Say you really feel you need to buy that laptop and that's all the money you have - then I wonder, could you find a better deal on a used laptop? Could you then give the balance of the money to someone who desperately needs it to feed their family for a few days?
I wonder if they have a website, or a form or something with all these rates, exceptions, etc.?If its used you get a discounted charity volunteer rate.Or you can just go ahead and donate the money you saved having the avialbibility for a used laptop at your fingers to a "worthy charitable" organization.
Well how am I supposed to know?Duh!
Well, what if I want a really expensive lap dance?:flirt:
Do I need to go out and do community service afterwards?
Is there a heavier charity service penalty
for some goods and services than others?
