It's horrible what happened to this poor lad and my heart bleeds for him especially when he walks away after the incident, his little face, but he's got over £150,000, what about all the other bullied children out there?
It just doesn't seem right somehow.

Feel free to tell me IABU.

Naughty you seem to be misunderstanding gofundme. It’s for individuals. Anyone can start one. No one is obliged to start one for someone else. No one is obliged to be equal opportunity about it.

The point is, you are donating to whatever cause gets in your face the most. We know bullying happens everywhere. Even if I wanted to donate to a victim of bullying in my local school how would I? It’s a hell of a lot easier to read a sad news story and get your debit card out. It’s human nature

Im not misinterupteding it at all - the fact its for indevidals os my exact point! Why help invidaks why not help everyone in that postion.

If anyones misinterupting any thing its you!! Your the one thats gone no ones having a discusion about the kids on children in need - no because we know their not the only child benefiting

And for now the 5th time how do you know these indevidals actally have the conditions they claim? How do you know their in the situations they claim? How do you know the people who set up these acvounts for people like jamel have any intention of giving the person the money.

I’m sorry I give up. You can’t argue with stupid

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 02/12/2018 09:59

No its not a question any one can answer but it its a question people should be asking to make a free and informed choice.

You want to give to frausters great but dont self congratulate

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 02/12/2018 10:00

Im the one arguing with stupid.

Why give to indevidals not everyone

Caprisunorange · 02/12/2018 10:01

So you know no one can answer it yet you’ve now asked it FIVE TIMES?!

And I haven’t given any money to gofundme so no idea what you’re on about

NicePieceOfPlaid · 02/12/2018 10:37

SadOnins you posts are increasingly incoherent, I have no clue now what you are banging on about, Calm down, FFS.

And you called me stupid? Is it because i said you, you do know you can both mean you as an indevidal and you as in everyone thats not the individal speaking.

Your (not just you indivally but the larger group of people i would call you, the many yous) are going on about free choice, qell part of free choice is making an informed decision. To me, part of giving isnt just throwing money that isnt going to help at people who claim thing and people can literally claim fucking any thing on the internet.

I could start a gofundme right now, it could get some traction, no one is going to check. If you (again the wider you the lots of yous that might be reading this) feel comfortable giving money that is literally going to shit all good and not reach the intended people then fine, your right its free choice, but dont go roubd going aing i good person i funded this gofundme. When that gofund me has made shit all difference.

I completely understand gofundme is for indevidals i'm not misinterupting any thing. I dont undertand why giving to indervidals needs to be a thing. Why we cant and dont find away of makong life better FOR EVERYONE.

You, and i am now talking to you indevidally capri are the one who said i dont see any one having this discussion about children in need - no because it isnt one indevidal benefitting from children in need in deed you have bugger all idea which child is going to benefit from your 50 quid you dont phone up and go i want it to go to david the kid who you showed the film of whos justlost his parents you phone up and go here here's my £50, because you are a proper regulated charity i know my £50 is going to the uses you've just outlined, it probably wont go to david, but it might go to a kid who is really struggling with being a young career/disabled/any range of the projects CIN supports. Yes i'm pleased i've done a little to support many many children who need help desparately.

Rather than the oh i helped the one kid who got a bit of media attenrion, hay fuck all the other kids including his sister, but i can feel ace about myself, oh wait i dont actally know wether hes actally going to see the money, some fruadster could well have seen the same piece of media ive just seen and be pocketting thosends of pounds. Yeah yeah if that's what you want to do with your free choice great. Not sure you (larger you) should feel great about it.

But yeah its free choice. Im not stupid for not liking what gofundme is or not agreeing with giving to one indivdal when better good can be done by helping many.

Really?????

You dont understand that thetes no regulation on gofundme any one can claim anything raise mobey for any cause they like protentially pocket thosends and thosends of pounds/dollors/euros, without any garentee that the person is in anyway in that position or has any intention of giving the money to the cause they are claiming to be raising money for? Are you that nieve??

You dont understand that i dont agree with giving to an indevidal when you (again the greater you the many yous) could be doing greater good by helping the many

NicePieceOfPlaid · 02/12/2018 11:02

Yes, really.

Your spelling and punctuation have gone completely to pot. Your lack of sentence construction is baffling and makes it almost impossible to understand what exactly your point is.
