That's a lot different than knowing amounts, no?

Either way, this whole thing gave you a chance to crowbar in that you are involved with charities. We're all impressed.

If I'm on a charity committee or if I'm just raising money for a charity I will usually know the exact amount that a person gives.

I'm not trying to impress anyone. There are plenty of people out there that do a million times more than me. I could certainly do a lot more than I do.

You like to keep moving the goalposts, huh? I guess when you're trying to squirm out of a series of dumb posts it works.

Here's the bottomline....nothing you have said tonight is factual. You have absolutely NO idea the amount your "friends" or anyone else donates unless you have access to their finances. And we both know you don't.

You don't know approximately how much money most of your friends make? I don't know the exact amount that people make but I usually know the ballpark figure.

I will often times know the exact amount that they give to a specific charity. I may not know about other charities they give to. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

It's not shocking when you think about it. If a person was a really kind and caring person, they would do what they could to help others. They wouldn't be constantly screaming about how evil the other party is. They wouldn't be screaming that George Bush is a war criminal. I'm not saying that they wouldn't prefer the democrats. I'm just saying that they wouldn't be constantly trying to vilify the other party. That is just a defense mechanism.

Am I talking in generalities? Yes, I admit that. But I think that in general it is the truth.

Fascinating. By this logic, does that mean that there is a group of "angry conservatives" at the other end of the spectrum that are feeding a third of the starving babies in Africa? Was bush more personally charitable than Clinton?
