My wife tried to donate some older work clothes that were too big for her that she wore many years a go. It was rejected because it appeared to be out of style.

No in america, beggars have cell phones. The other day I even saw a homeless guy watching netflix on a laptop (he was homeless not part of occupy wall street, I have seen him a few month prior).

. The following are facts about persons defined as “poor” by the Census Bureau:
 •80 percent of poor households have air conditioning
 •Nearly three-fourths have a car or truck, and 31 percent have two or more cars or trucks
 •Nearly two-thirds have cable or satellite television
 •Two-thirds have at least one DVD player and 70 percent have a VCR
 •Half have a personal computer, and one in seven have two or more computers
 •More than half of poor families with children have a video game system, such as an Xbox or PlayStation
 •43 percent have Internet access
 •One-third have a wide-screen plasma or LCD television
 •One-fourth have a digital video recorder system, such as a TiVo

you're an idiot.  just another example of how the "haves" in this country continue to live in denial as long as they have their safe little world kept intact.

there *are* poor people in this country and just because they are poor does not mean they don't demand respect when it comes to donations.  poor does not discriminate against anyone.  you and i are just one bad medical illness or job loss away from being in their shoes.[/quote]
