Nice try, Sally Struthers.

Edit : This none of your business.

I have to say one of the worlds largest stores, and certainly the easiest to access by billions of people, of information is a great cause to give your money to.

Exactly. It may be heartless, but I'd rather contribute to the advancement of mankind's knowledge than feed a starving kid for a few days. Knowledge can impact millions of people for years to come; a little bit of food only lasts so long.

They are also not mutually exclusive.

They are if you don't have much money to give.

Yea because feeding people in Africa is going to end world hunger...

And because supporting overpopulation is going to help the entire human race

Either OP is a really good troll or the equivalent of the dip-shits who think feeding children is going to fix famine.

The ignorance of this post is overwhelming. Wikipedia is making pure, accessible knowledge (an important tool of education) free and accessible worldwide. This is one of the most empowering things you can do for those in developing nations who struggle to make a life for themselves. Would you rather see people put their money into some fund where 40% ends up in the pockets of executives and advertisers, and the other 60% is food + bibles?

Obviously financial support should be balanced across many causes, but suggesting this is a pathetic cause compared to feeding starving children is just plain ignorant.

even without the jimmy wales joke....i think posting starving children with a title reading "happy thanksgiving" is pretty shitty. Now go eat your big turkey dinner OP.

Why Jimmy Wales? I don't think he's that rich and he has probably helped the world develop more than any of us ever will.

We all have our causes we choose to do. Nobody (not even you) can make this joke without being a hypocrite. And that's okay. We're not saviors, what we can do is work towards a collective good ultimately.

I'm going to donate to Wikipedia, and I still laughed at the pic.

Not one of those kids can do my homework. Gotta give thanks where it counts. Thanks Britannica.

Not really supporting this image. Feeding children isn't the solution to ending world hunger, educating women on birth control is, and a complete turnaround of the governments.

[–]Jay_Hawk 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but those kids aren't helping me pass school.

[–]kloober 0 points1 point ago

I do both. I don't have a ton of money or anything, but I make small automatic monthly donations to a number of different charities and non-profits, ranging from the Red Cross to my local food bank to soma fm. Just made a small donation to Wikipedia because it is a tremendous resource that I rely on heavily to aid my understanding of the world, and I'm far better for it.

TL;DR You can give to more than one charitable cause

Find me a starving child who can write my papers for me and he'll get my $5 instead of Wikipedia.

also, this picture was just something I decided to photoshop. there isnt too deep of a meaning to it to clear this all up. same thing with my casually spraying cop doom picture...i just felt like making it. I do however, support the deeper thinking that these pictures have been bringing forth.
