What will be interesting about the olympics is how much revenue we generate from holding it, and the off-set of that amount against the cost of holding the event.

Not sure I agree, as a lot of people are lazy and wouldnt give their 20p even thoguh they dont mind it.
Fairest way would be the government pays the money out, but if you bother to fill in a form you can reclaim it i guess!


On a related note, I believe thats how it should be with all organ donations, you should have to register specifically if you DONT want to be a donor, not just if you do.

it'd probably cost more then 20p in admin

but i agree what you say about organ donation.

escy seen as your so passionate about it i'm assuming you putting at least £100 in
I'm not putting any money in, but I do plan on helping some street kids out when I go to Brazil next week.

It's not something I'm saying people need to donate to, I just can't why people would criticize the government for the small donation already made on our behalf.

Good of you to make a donation considering your 1st post on this thread. change of heart on the subject?

nope, my first post of fuck em, was about tax always has been if you read a little on from that i also said i'd bang a tenner in.
But giving it to the street kid's lol more garlic bread, you've been banging on about pakistan for a couple of day's about how people dont agree with how the tax is spent calling them racist and hater's of pakistan and you wont even put your hand in your pocket for a fucking tenner when it come's to it! Dont suprise me tbh.

Now i'm obviously not very good at reading between the lines as I totally missed your point about you not agreeing with the government's allocation of tax funds for over seas aid.

Bearing in mind we are talking about 1400 dead and 4 million people affected, "fuck em" came across as callous at best.

Bit of a u-turn from being sick of paying for them to donating £30 quid. Anyone would think your feeling guilty after you borderline racism

mrjenrst, is this racist or is there also a point about tax allocation i'm not picking up on?

You can have an opinion on someone's post, it's not against the law.

I know but due the massive amount of mistaking what people have already put throught this post do you not think it's fair to speculate

You may well be right if it was cold hard cash being sent over in a breifcase. Unfortunately for you, it's actually the value of the aid sent, blankets, FOOD, medicine, shelterboxes etc, etc!
