Charity blogtv show update - please feel free to mirror

[LouistheHedgehog]

What assholes would downrate this video??? I mean really, why???

[Mithcoriel]

And how would you go about "getting to know" Dprjones?

(Like I said, it's not the organization "Doctors without borders" that I'd want to check out, but him, for the sake of argument.)

[Mithcoriel]

What's this got to do with atheists being or not being a religious group?

Ok, so your take would be don't donate to DPR if he ever has such a charity drive again, simple and squat?

[Mithcoriel]

You don't know who dprjones is? He's the author of this video. He started THIS atheist blogtv thing we're talking about.

I can't really contact him. He's too popular, he couldn't read all that mail. And what sort of contact information could be useful?

So you're saying I shouldn't donate to charity drives like this? Kind of kills the purpose don't you think?

[Mithcoriel]

Well but this is happening over the internet. So I couldn't exactly ask Dpr for a printed slip. I assume if it came in digital form it would be easy to fake one, so it would have to be physical?

And what if I don't get the transaction slip, cause it was a fraud? Then what, do I get my money back? I kinda doubt that, when I donate over such a site. Add to that, I would have entered my credit card number, allowing fraudsters to steal it.

[Mithcoriel]

As for checking wether their business exists: Dpr was making this fund on a website that allows you to collect funds like this, so he doesn't actually have a company himself. The company he claims to give to does exists. Like, how do I see if his claim that he can't abuse the money with the system on that fundraising website is correct?

[Mithcoriel]

Well I was asking, in general, *how* you check a website. The website I wanted to check was Dprjones'. The fund's over now of course. But like I said: in the future, how do you check these things?

[Mithcoriel]

Errrm...I replied to you cause I'm the one whose question you answered?

And I should know how I meant the question. This isn't about "Why should we bother to donate, is it so important to give money?", it's about "How do we know we're really giving our money to charity and not to an internet fraudster?" How do you check the authenticity?

[Mithcoriel]

No, the point is how do you know it's not a scam?

When you donate to a charity outside the internet you usually know for a fact where your money is going, e.g. cause you make a check to a specific organization. But here, technically, we're giving the money to dprjones, and if he *were* a conman, he could run away with it.

[dannypantsgm]

Thanks for subbing!

[Mithcoriel]

Hey, sorry, stupid question, but how do I prove to my parents this fundraising is an honest thing?

They say: "Anyone can make a video on youtube claiming they're gonna use the money for charity. You should donate to the charity directly."

I mean it seems like a lame argument if I just say "I know these guys, I like their vids".

[laurariddle292]

Myself and my statue have donated.

[SadChristian]

If anyone wants to donate for free (paid by advertisers), go to these sites:

thehungersite[DOT]com

freerice[DOT]com

There are many more like these. Be sure to bookmark them and make them your homepage so you are reminded to click daily.

God Bless!

[SadChristian]

25,000 children die everyday. If you want my opinion, we all need to constantly donate to help them get out of poverty. We should get them functioning as captitalist societies. Instead of a few countries having the money flow from business to individual, it should be a global cycle where everyone in the world is a participant. This results in greater wealth for everyone as any economist will tell you.

Come on, we have sufficient wealth, let's stop focusing on America and focus on the world.

[bonzonobeans]

In a really strange way VFX has helped this cause - it's his dishonesty and ineptitude that catalyzed the efforts here.

I'm not trying to denigrate the effort at all, just pointing out the irony..

[Akatam0t0ma]

Looks like absence is gonna be imposed on C0ct0pus due to inability to pay for an Internet connection :-(

[RWDY]

I KNEW I had heard that song before somewhere.

[ISnoGOD12]

If you ask me fuck em let them die they are all going to die any how we all die anyhow so what the fuck is the point of helping the walking dead just let them die this world will be a better place without them and there weakness they are all shit anyhow I wont give a fucking cent to this gay little project. Wtf does dprjones give about them anyhow its all bull shit! They should just die!

[cr1tterp0wer]

troll alert

[LVskywalker]

Damn it, same here. I need to get a credit card someday.

[kvj1989]

Bite me.

(ignored)

[kvj1989]

You?

well i dont know about that.

Anyway can we dropt his pointless conversation now?

Because im done with you.

[joefx69]

Correction. We are done with you. Hope you're content in life knowing how much of a trolling inconsiderate, ignorant brat you are.

"Bite me."

How old are you, ten? Even that would be an insult to the intelligence of most ten year olds. Go take your Dragon Z bullshit and aphyxy-wank yourself, you're as good as dead anyway

[kvj1989]

Again it was a joke you retard.

Get over yourself.

[DreamingTree33]

Shared. Nice video.

[0okamino]

And if you can't donate now, give moral support and donate when you can. :)

[StanMarsh1]

If you get Thunderf00t on, I will definately donate!

[djarm67]

Why not donate anyway. It's a worthy cause.

DJ

[StanMarsh1]

I don't have much money, but I should be able to give something.

[TrollOlympics]

can somebody show me the proof of coughlan's donations to charity? At least vfx did a lame atempt to show proof

[ghostofdayinperson]

ass hole

[dackjaniels555]

<3 u 2

[Morelloforever]

I hope thats a sick joke you twisted son of a bitch.

[kvj1989]

Wats with the cursing there man?

Do you have anger issues or something?

Anyway its my opinion.

So please just deal with it alright.

[Vogter2100]

kvj1989 your oppinion is shit.

Now fuck off and die.

[kvj1989]

HAHAAh lol.

Where is your empathy man?

I dont have it but im sure you have it.

[Morelloforever]

I don't, I simply find it disgusting that you would say such a thing.

[poweredxbyxhope]

Go know yourself.

Biblically.

[th3d3wd3r]

You're a prick.... If Einstein survived and finished the unified theory would you still be such a cunt... Do you not understand that every life has potential. Every life deserves to live if we can help them. If that is your genuine opinion, then fuck you.

[Sanngot]

Where's the empathy?

[kvj1989]

Dont know what you are talking about.

[Sanngot]

I do actually. I've never suffered to the extent that these people have. I am much luckier than they are, being born in a first world country where I don't have to live in constant fear. It's not "survival of the fittest" as you put it, it's survival of the luckiest. I try to put myself in their shoes, and when I do, I want try to spread the luck. You, however, only care about a burger and some fries.

[Vogter2100]

kvj1989

What a disgusting piece of shit you are!

[jimidinh]

There's joking and then there's trolling. And then there's trolling about joking.

..and obviously joking about trolling.

[MaxTheMann]

Your right, money doesn't grow on trees. That is why we should help those who are less fortunate who have barely nothing at all, yet you wish to waste it on trivial stuff like McDonald's. I'm guessing you have the luxury of living in the first word and that you have no Idea what it is like to suffer on a day to day basis. And to call these people cattle is nothing short of arrogant and despicable.

Shame.

[kvj1989]

Again it was just a joke.

And i have had my share of suffering.

[joefx69]

What you said was not a joke. Look in a dictionary to find the proper definition. Better still, look in the mirror you ignorant fuck

[kvj1989]

Again it was just a joke.

Just let it go man.

Your making a big deal out of nothing.

[joefx69]

How about you fuck off and stop trying to turn it on people who are justifiably annoyed at some twat making dick head comments. YOU are the one in the wrong here, so "dropping it" is something you should have thought of before posting your unintelligible arse.

[kvj1989]

Ok i wil:)

Sorry you cant take a joke.

[ProfetaParanoia]

what a stupid "joke".

it's not even funny.

go buy your burgers, get fat andget lost.

[Sanngot]

Apparently you are the only one who finds this joke funny. =/

[kvj1989]

Yeah i know.

I gues atheist dont like jokes(or dont understand them).

Thank god im neutral.

[Sanngot]

Oh believe me. I LOVE jokes. And sometimes, when they are especially funny, or if I just feel in a good mood, I laugh! Pretty cool eh?

[MaxTheMann]

I do have a sense of humor, that particular joke was just not funny at all.

[MaxTheMann]

OH POOR YOU!! I am so sorry for your suffering! Surely these people have no idea how terrible life has been for you *cough*

[laurariddle292]

I'll have to disagree with you on that one. *donates*

[DARRBEV]

Thanks for that, I mean I ain't saying our government (UK) is any better. this has been going on for about 5 or 6 years I think now. and we all bailed out of Rwanda and left them to a massacre.

[1RadicalOne]

With the economy in the toilet right now, there could have been a better time to do this to maximize effect.

[AbdultheImpailler]

it can do done again later and again and again

"We are the World, We are the People...everybody join in....

[BionicDance]

They give medical treatment to those who need it most?

So...these are the people who'll be responsible for PCS's lobotomy, yes?

And, hee! I totally saw my name! *strut* :)

[Zero4Mars]

It'd be pretty cool if this fundraiser became a yearly event, or something close to it.

[DARRBEV]

Is DoomedEarth being sarcastic, I hope so cause what he says certainly makes no sense historicaly or presently

[Eopyk]

Wow what a super show .

All love from me Jasmine

[Brewhahh]

This is going to put PCS's "donations" to utter shame.

[deyohn]

Yeah,we should ask VenomfangX for donations,but he would probably rather kill his mother than donate.He will probably make a video saying that this is a hoax.

[Mithcoriel]

Dangit, the date I'm busy :(

Does Blogtv actually have some recording function?

[DoomedEarth]

If they are suffering as a result of the attacks, why is the US military not being deployed to help? We go rush in to every other conflict in the world, especially when innocents are being attacked. Damn, I thought our willingness to defend the weak was at least a redeeming quality of this country...

[philthy122]

Unfortunately not. America has stood by and done nothing while people have been systematically starved, displaced and murdered by their fellow countrymen more times than they have stepped in to 'help' over the past 20 years.

Tanks, warships and stelth bomber need fuel to run, and that appears to be the US govenments prime motivation when it comes to 'intervention'.

Hopefully Obama will bring change to how america behaves in the global comunity.

[ravenslaves]

@philthy122

Perhaps America should just stop all foreign aid, for a time. Just to see who steps up to take up the slack. America has a long history of helping others, both through the government, and through private ventures. Even in times when it seems that America doesn't have anything to give, the American people dig deeper just to help. And it's not done for the thanks, because we get none.

So maybe it's time just to stop, and withdraw from the world stage for a time. We'd be better off.

[WTFLEETERS]

America isnt the country who gives the most tho.

[insightnew]

Maybe we could withdraw all our troops to. We bomb countries flat. And it's not done for the thanks, because we get none.

So maybe it's time just to stop, and withdraw from the world stage for a time. We'd be better off.

[ravenslaves]

Exactly.

Let Darwin have a chance. True social evolution with no interference from the US. We have our freedoms. If others want theirs, let them fight for it themselves. Even the most blood thirsty despot has to die eventually. So let the rest of the world sort out their own messes for once. Let the UN be the police (or not) without the US involved in any way.

Might be good for them.

It would be for us.

[philthy122]

Yep. expected someone to get all antsy about my comment. Truth is that there are many conflicts that amrecia has gone into with its own interests at heart (or made up intel to start a war). And there are many times where conflict and injustice has been ignored by america because there has been not gain for america. If the US govt spent 1/10th of its military budget on aid, or whote off unjust debt or let countries trade freely, perhaps the US would gain some of its lost global respect.

[101194z4life]

You shouldn't do kind things and expect people to praise and Awh you for doing it, You do what you have to because its right, And its moral. When we do things right, People barely know we do anything at all.

[ravenslaves]

Very true. My only point was that there is another side to the America bashing. Where if there are complaints about American involvement somewhere (not a bad thing) Then it should be weighed with the positive affects of American involvement. Or simply do without either. The curse of power, is that you'll be damned no matter what you do. Either for taking action or not taking action. It's unavoidable. Would the world be a better place without US involvement? Maybe we should try it.

[TheDarklyDreamer]

Lets help dprjones get 10000 subscribers . He is close, tell your friends about him.

[AbdultheImpailler]

I have, I even told the gal that cuts my hair about dpr and Tf00t, her daughter loves science so I thought beautyintheuniverse would be perfect for her, dpr's channel is for mom & dad, I even told my dentist awhile ago...do you think I'm getting carried away spreading the word???? lol

[Truth0is0beauty]

One month to go!

[nelliediddle]

Thanks for this Dpr I look forward to it!

[MonsterLopes]

How can such poverty still exist...

[robertghouston]

dprjones, MSF also have a YT channel... username: msf

[Stereolabdream]

Why would anyone need an organisation like Medicens sans Frontiere?

After all, we have Peter Popoff and Benny Hinn ! If we give them even more money, they will surely be able to send truck loads of miracle manna and spring water to these places...problem solved!

Well, that's one way. The other is to adopt a libertarian agenda-equally funny to some.

In the meantime-keep up the good work, guys.

[SucculentJuniper]

Some morally bankrupy cuntstain flagged your original video about this charity as inappropriate.

[LordLanceJH]

Good try.
