Fire Relief Fund

Well I initially thought of the idea because of all the nay-sayers who were all like, "you should be donating to some REAL cause, not Chris!" But after he huge mess that took place while I was asleep last night, yeah, we should probably stay away from donation drives in general for a bit.

Which is absolutely terrible and a real shame, but what can you do.

Plenty of non-controversial causes to donate to. I don't think anyone would oppose donating to a children's hospital.

It's ironic if we jump at the chance to donate to Chris, but then shy away at the chance to donate to more needy people.

We could ignore the people who complain about the "free money" not going to where they want it to go to. But yeah even in this thread there was some push-back: http://cwckiforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2777 What can I say? Spergs' gonna sperg.

I really think we should wait a few months before judging donating to Chris

Right now a lot of this is an argument based on the theoretical. For all we know Chris could spend the entire amount on unhealthy food, or he might buy 500$ worth of legos. Or Barb might buy a ton of tampons. We don't know. Lets wait a few months and get some evidence before judging the merits behind donating to Chris.

I'm pretty certain Barb is past menopause, so tampons is probably one of the absolute dumbest things they could spend the money on. At least junk food and Legos would find some use.

Well, tampons can also be useful as fire starters, but that's far from what the Chandlers need or want right now.

Nest time I go camping, that camp fire is in the bag.

Yeah, people really need to relax about this now, it's all gotten a bit out of hand.

Though my favorite fire starter is dryer lint. Super flammable (that's why you should ALWAYS clean your lint trap after each load of laundry!), and back in my camp counselor days it helped me out of loads (pun not intended) of it's-dinner-over-the-campfire-night-and-it's-raining crises.

Doritos make good kindling as well

"She might use it to start another hoard" would've worked too. But whatever.

This fund happened before the XenForo switch, but I've gone back and created a trophy for everyone in the OP list. If you gave money and would like your forum trophy, please PM me.
