ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?

YAY! USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO FORCE PEOPLE INTO DOING SOME STUPID TREND (even if the cause is good, the methods are still bad) AND THEN GUILTING THEM INTO DONATING MONEY FOR NOT DOING IT.

Gotta love society these days, using social media and peer pressure to raise money for a cause you would otherwise not even care about (sorry to say, but it's true).


Here's a crazy thought, how about encouraging people to donate to a cause because they actually want to, and actually care about whatever the cause is?

I refuse to let anyone or anything use guilt as a motivator on me when it's something I had no part of causing. As soon as you start using guilt or mind tricks (like sad music playing in the background to some sad pictures), I am officially against the organization using those methods.
