Yeah, why give them the opportunity to buy some groceries that their kids might need more than the junk you plan to give them.[/quote]

This isn’t the grocery assistance program. There are other programs for that.[/quote]

No shit? I didn't know that until you just told me.  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

If a mother needs to return an expensive item in order to buy groceries for the holidays, I certainly wouldn't judge her and would be happy the kids had something to eat. Clearly, you've never been in that situation. [/quote]

Spare us, Mother Theresa. [/quote]

You sound like a lovely person. Please leave the poor people alone. They don't need your shitty "charity." [/quote]

People like you need to stay far away from charitable programs. Sneering at the donors is the absolute last thing they need. You and your shitty attitude can stay home. [/quote]

You first. Giving your scraps to poor people doesn't make you a good person.[/quote]

If you think money is scraps then you can’t be helped. You’re doing more harm than good by turning off potential donors. If you’re not a recipient or donor what is your point?

[/quote]

I am a donor. I give to these types of programs every year. I was also very poor growing up.

Giving money is one thing. Judging poor kids for dreaming big is entirely different. Or have you forgotten what we are talking about in all of your indignation?[/quote]

You are completely disingenuous. That much is obvious.[/quote]

Awww did I hit you in the feels?[/quote]

No because I know what a joke you are. You aren’t familiar with these programs or how they work.[/quote]

hahahhaha, you're just pathetic. Making shit up and hurling insults because you have nothing substantive to come back with. [/quote]

As if you could ever afford to buy a kid an xbox. [/quote]

Whether i can or not is not the point. You probably can but never WOULD!!!! [/quote]

Of course I wouldn’t. And neither would you or do you. My own kids don’t have Xboxes. But that doesn’t mean I get upset or complain. I move on to the next one. That more than answers OPs question but that’s still not good enough for you. People don’t have to fulfill every big dream. There are many participants in these programs and unfortunately some of the big dreamers might be left out. But that’s the gamble they made.[/quote]

You know nothing about me. Of course I would and I did!!!!!!!!!!! My kids have an x-box and I see nothing wrong with gifting one to a kid that has a lot less than mine.

If you were smart and capable of reading, you'd see where I said time and time again that no one is obligated to buy an x-box. People should do what they can/want. What bothers me is complaining that it's even on the list. [/quote]

Good for you. If people can do what they want then they can think an xbox is too expensive and not within their budget. But I guess you read that as a giant upset and personal affront. [/quote]
