    i dont like to stroke my ego over charitable contributions much less on a public forum. certainly makes it sound lame. the 2 i give to is all about making myself feel better anyhow.

    but i already knew you were awesome. no need to buy pity votes here.

    I laugh at your low tips. You aren't close to as good a tipper as I am. I Routinely leave 80 to 100 percent.

    Giving to charity is a waste of time, almost always. You should tip better instead.

    Hot dogs aren't bad for you. Certainly no worse than, for example, organic orange juice.

    The odds are these charities are not helpful and probably actively hurtful.

    For example, my parents Methodist church in Baton Rouge runs a food bank in an area where obesity related illness is a catastrophic health destroyer. Fat poor people show up and they give them more food to kill themselves with.

    No you shouldn't. Beyond children's hospitals and wounded warriors, every charity is pretty much counterproductive.

    Looks like Kyle is a better person than Tirk.

    Kyle is the first person I ever saw that bragged about his tips and was genuinely a good person, better than you even. Guy is a hero.

    What do you suggest? Let the government handle these things?
