Did I need to give my brother a second car (after just giving him one not long ago) when he crashed it in a meth induced rage? Of course not.
Did I need to give money to the college student begging on the corner this afternoon, perfectly capable of getting his ass a job? No, I could have had him do some "stud" work and earn his money.
The point is... she was UPFRONT with what she wanted the money for... PERIOD.
Since you have such a harsh negative opinion about her request, ignore it. DO NOT DONATE. It is that simple.
I did not donate to her boob job fund. But I DID PayPal her some money when she offered a great price on custom content.
Although I didn't give out free money for her boob job, I was NOT offended that she asked.
Next Christmas, when the man in your life asks you what you want, I'm sure you'll pick a donation to someone that NEEDS the MONEY over whatever your desires are at the time.

Donovan, first off all... my anger comes from the fact that she had the gall to ask for donations for something totally aesthetic... she was taking advantage of people and if you read the first post in her thread, you will see that. It totally belittles the legitimate needs of other people on this board... anyone who has asked, or should ask for help. There are always *more* deserving causes... but what self respecting woman would come to a webmaster board and ask for money for something as stupid as tits? When my son was in the hospital and I was broke, I did NOT ask for help, because I knew if I saved my money, I could pay the money that was necessary for his survival. I have morals. I have the capacity to know when to... or when NOT to ask for help. Had my son's surgery required payment up front, at that time I WOULD have asked for help. It was a life or death situation. Because I knew the circumstances were not of that sort, I handled it myself... and am still handling it myself to this day.
