[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 743984, member: 1550"] I have no idea why so many think people are dying to get things like free gifts when they can afford them. If they actually have enough money, most of the gifts donated are not that high quality. If you bother to drive a luxury car for what they cost...$100,000 maybe, you would be okay giving less than great gifts to your kids? Maybe. I would think not but maybe. I never got why some people worry so much about these things though. To me, I never had money and never thought about or cared much about possessions. I always gave generously anyway because I like to share what I had/have, though it be humble. I still like to do this. If I happen to, say, give a brand new toy to a child whose family has money and could have afforded it, so what? I meant well and you cant vet everyone. I feel the same way about giving to those holding homeless signs. Can I be cheated? Yes. Do I worry about it and think I got cheated? I think most of them truly are needy. If I am wrong, I still meant well. I wont stop trying to help. I have always been this way. I have never had to skip a meal because of it. Nothing is for sure. If you decide to open your heart and try to be kind to someone who is needy, there is a slight chance it will go to somebody not needy. If ya dont want to risk that, dont do it. Peace and love :) No offense meant. [/QUOTE]
