BritManToo Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I think it's nice people are feeding the hungry. Does it really matter who they are, or what their motives are, or if they get a bit of publicity out of it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Hammer2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2021 People provide free food as an act of mercy and charirity as well as making merit. I attended a few last year organised by bars in Jomtien. People contributed food to be distributed and others, myself included, contributed money with which to but food. People from all over the world contributed. The act of charitable giving precludes judging the recipients' worthiness or otherwise thus food was also distributed to passersby even if they weren't queuing up for food. It's adds to the positive atmosphere 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in any decent charitable endeavor and certainly not among the givers and donors I was with last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and I have no problem supporting the businesses that give back to the community in these dire times with my custom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, I didn't. She was a friend, and is now happily married with a baby, to a German guy in his 40s and living in Germany. If I had been there I would have danced at her wedding!

To a certain extent I’d agree but which economic creed would you say has the greater amount of greedy bastards amongst their number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh almost certainly free market capitalism. There again it also has the greater number of philanthropists amongst it's number. It is after all by far the dominant system, both in terms of wealth and population, on the face of the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just too mean to open up the cheque book for providing financial assistance to those unemployed due to covid. Shame on the Thai government.

None of them were found on Pattaya beach on Sunday helping to feed the hungry people. Did you expect the "super rich billionaire Thais" to be on the beach with a banner, handing out food? How do you know they didn't contribute? The best charity is the charity unannounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
