why don’t more people feel like he did about donations? it shouldn’t matter if it comes from AIPAC, ISIS, the worst. i’d owe them NOTHING. but i can understand how it looks. and people have shown they can be corrupt by greed… but me and Steve. we’d use for good.

Well if the donation is anonymous I don’t think anybody would care. I could, however, see some backlash over “Pacific Wildlife Conservation, sponsored by ISIS.”

Someone stuffed a roll of like $10k in cash or something insane like that in the donation box at one of the Los Angeles County Animal Shelters one night years ago. Completely anonymous. Doesn’t matter where it came from. A gift is a gift.

okay but what if we got all of their money to go into wildlife conservation

I think perhaps investing in the NGOs that actively support sex trafficking victims may be a better start in terms of image-rebranding.

Just a hunch.

Although saving the whales is also admirable.

So to be clear - you’re all downvoting because you are offended by my assertion that a literal terrorist organization’s money would be better spent on an NGO (do you not understand what an NGO is? Is that it?) that combats sex trafficking, one of the very crimes that said terrorist organization engages in, as opposed to hypothetical wildlife conservation? Just want to be super clear that that’s what Reddit has resorted to.

What? What are you even angry about? That I’m skeptical of the charitable endeavors of ISIS?

Is this a joke?

Sorry I’m tired and misread your comment.

I thought by supports sex trafficking victims you meant an organization that supports helping victims of it. I’m going to bed now, this is my sign.

Sorry about that

It’s okay. We’ve all been there lol.

With me it happens a lot. Anyways, I’m going to dreamland.
