Would You Rather Gamble Your Money Or Donate To A Better Cause? Or?
oldgamerz:
I never played the lottery or gambled, I currently spend money on Facebook for a Christian page so it get promoted, My money goes for a good cause, why should anybody gamble for real money when you more often than not lose more then what you gain back, or if you gain anything back at all, or would you rather put that extra money for a new game or car or something?
Sometime people will toss the dice before they get their paycheck and piss it all away, instead of giving their seemingly unwanted money out for donations for homeless and people with no money or hopes of getting any money at all. I critically judge anybody who plays the lottery, I think it is stupid, sure once you actually get some money back you can feel the rush but that rush probably cost you every single dime you just spent.
It's fine do do a loto ticket if you got it for free like as a gift that is super cool, but to buy one it's kind of pointless in my own opinion.
I knew 3 people who spent their life saving on 2 things, #1 Lottery scratch offs every single day, #2 multiple packs of cigarettes. then you got people who buy stinky pot/weed/Marijuana, that is just pointless for only few a few second of getting high and sticking up your house less alone the surrounding neighborhood.
A lot of times in my own neighborhood people will smoke skunk weed, and you can smell it all the way outside of their house even when they are smoking pot on the inside with closed doors, what's the point, do any of you guys fire up a joint while you play your games, believe it or not I had a friend who would smoke a pot joint and play madden football,
Pot don't really make you stupid or anything since you need to have a brain to play madden on expert like this man did. and win every game against the CPU. on the PlayStation 2.
Then we have alcohol, how many of you drink a cold or warm beer while playing a video game, that can stink too, beer stinks, and only gives me more or a migraine headache.
So the main question is would you rather spend your money on temporary habits? or games? something else? Or do something for the poor?
Me? I buy games music and spend money on helping the poor, I am a preacher who sells words for free on Facebook and advice to Christians my Facebook page is called.
Modern Christian Believers
(edit) then I have my radio station in the link below, I am also a non profit stream broadcaster

I always donate money monthly and I actually used to do it almost daily for like 2 or 3 months.
I keep trying to donate money at times but I am also trying to look better and focus on charities that could actually change lives and not just give a meal for one day.
Right now I am donating less but I always try to keep doing it.
I remember that last year in this month curiously I tried to buy Jikkyo Oshaberi Parodius Forever with Me because a person had an expensive price tag for it but shipping was free so I was about to give it a try because that game is also important for me and when I went to buy it....., sold out!, I didn't feel bad at all, just kinda disappointed but that's fine.
I just remember that I donated almost all the money and that's it, better luck next time and I wanted to believe I helped someone.
Merry Christmas.

I see "Thou shalt not judge" are not among the words you " sell for free" as a preacher on Facebook.
What really was the point of this thread? You just insulted anyone and everyone that you asked to chime in outside of those who align with you.

I just found it annoying a couple of times at a Kroger store when I had to use customer service and I needed to wait for people to finish making their numbers for the lottery that's all, why should anybody play the lottery? I know it's their money, but they are just pissing it away while others who need it more are starving, if you want to not donate or do for a better cause why not spend it on a new video game? or a movie or something for their family? that defeats the purpose of having any money to begin with :-\
people spend $5USD for more for a ticket and more often then not don't get anything in return, if you like to gamble then why not spend that extra money on a lottery video game? it's just how I feel about that

I feel like you just started this thread to complain about how there are people that arent as wise with their money as you.
