So I keep seeing all these bulletins for this candle lighting business, first it was for one day, now they want it for the week, and I have even seen a bulletin being reposted about how someone deleted 25 people because they didn't have this candle lit up and that they are gonna delete more if they don't make the candle their default pic. That is by far the dumbest thing I have ever heard, and thank God whoever that moron is isn't one of my personal friends.
JUST because someone does not have that candle as their default does not mean that they don't support the cause. I mean seriously, what is having that candle going to do for all the deceased anyway? Absolutely NOTHING. I don't mean to sound insensitive because I definately am not, but that's just the way I see it. I support and care about all causes just as much as anyone. But having a ribbon for cancer, child abuse, leukimia, the troops, anything...is NOT really doing anything for the cause. It just shows you support it, big whoop, so does everyobody else. Donate MONEY, that's what most of these causes need.
Oh well, that's just my 2 cents, cause I'm getting pretty tired of seeing these bulletins that try to make it sound like you are heartless if you don't have a candle and/or ribbon as your default pic. I'm sorry if this rubs anyone the wrong way, but just think about it.
And FYI for anyone who cares to know, I donate money to the Paralyzed Veterans of America almost every month. I'd love to donate to other causes, but financially I cannot.
Anyway, I'm off to meet an old friend that just came in from college. Haven't seen her since 2004, I'll be back later.
