I am sick of all these people who use their charity work to shove their religions and politics down people's throats. Shouldn't volunteers help others out of the goodness of their hearts or in the name of community spirit?<P class="body">personally, I get really pissed off when I get told 'Jesus loves you' and other stuff like that. If I buy something in a charity shop or make a donation to a cause, that should just be the end of it.

I have received recognition for my work which I'm extremely proud of - I hope other people give a bit of their time to others - we all have so many skills to share.
E-mail me with any thoughts: craigab@hotmail.com
Well done Craig. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
We are involved it a charity called the Chernobyl Childrens Life Line. We are a link in Bedfordshire (I mention that because we are geographically close). We are bringing a group of children from Belarus to the UK for a month of rest and recuperation, away from the radioactivity. The main charity has brought over more that 11,000 children since 1992. Each link has to raise the funds to bring over their group of kids (but we aren't very good at fundraising).
Our kids are due over in July.
Keep up the good work.
With respect!
As you can see from our postings, Craig & I do do something useful, and don't often blow our own trumpets.
With regards to the sally army, I have had personal experience of this ruthless bible touting bunch. If people want religion there are a few organisations which combine good works with Christianity (or any other religion) they could try the Church, they are usually in easily identifiable buildings, and tend to be very kind and helpful people who do not need to wear uniforms or spend alot of their money on trumpets, tambourines and lawsuits.

Did you know the reason that they originally wore uniforms was because people generally respect people in uniforms - in days gone by of course - and they were able to work in alot of dangerous situations.
With respect.
