Still disagree with you OVM... it's not begging. I am not asking for money for a person, or an individual; I am asking for money to a cause.

Totally different.

John mate. It's disgraceful for anyone to have to ask for money for such a thing.

ok, I think something is getting lost in translation.

I think what ovm is trying to say here is that what you are doing (looking for donations for a worthy cause) isn't what he considers to be begging or disgraceful, but rather the fact that you find yourself having to HAVE TO DO THAT is what he finds disgraceful. I believe what ovm is saying, is that in this day and age of abundance and wealth, sick people should be able to be cared for by their wealthy country's health care system and the fact that they aren't and now you find yourself in a position of having to have to ask for donations - that is what he finds appalling.

or . . . . I could be way off and he just thinks you are begging

Yep, but back in the real world... there is no magic man in the sky that rains down wonderful cures for everyone in the world, life's a bitch, the reality is you often have to fight for those personally close to you, regardless of the country you reside in. You can't help everyone, it's unfortunate, but you often do do your best for those close to you to make their lives easier if possible, it's almost instinct. Which is what John is doing on behalf of Rob and his son.

To go on rambling that everything isn't roses for all people just because they live in whatever (allegedly discriminatory) country, and going off on wildly unrealistic political and economical tangents, is delusional at best. Life sucks like that.

Agree with Timo. All a matter of personal opinion. if you want to donate please do so, if you don't then don't - no worries.

All I am after is trying to get people to donate to something I feel is a very worthy cause, and for very worthy people. They are my friends, and I love them, simple as.
