Stop showing that plant p0rn man you going attract them botanists! Perhaps that been your plan all along. Raise some money! While I do think values do get very messed up we also just become cold to certain things. The issue for fund raising for charity is everyone is always constantly getting hit up for money. Everyone and everything wants or claims to have a need for money. I would go on Facebook right now and there is always someone in dire need. Everyone has endless stories of how they help someone or a charity and they got scammed. Not to mention I know there are quite a few recourses out there to help people choose and identify if a charity is the right fit for them. Can’t think of that for p0rn; granted, I’ve never looked for such “resource”(excuses me one moment I got go register some domain names for a new business Idea I just had….). While asking people just to post a link on their Facebook might not seem like a lot. It is because there are lots of similar things trying spreading their advertisement the same way by using Facebook and encouraging users to share a story that really is advertisement. Why I think that is 90% of my Facebook feed and thus I only ever use it for certain things. It might seem twisted but if you have to choose between paying for entertainment or helping someone you will never know in some country you will never visit that is suffering in a way you have not experience. Entertainment is just going win out more times then not. Most don’t seem to be wired to gain enjoyment form sending a piece of paper off saying they donated $10. When some people shop they are willing to spend extra money for stickers on a product that claim, Organic, free ranged, fair trade, non-glutton, sourced logically. While others, well they just want whatever fulfills their current need at best price possible. While people can spend a lot to fill their entertainment “needs” a $10 bill sent to their local church is all their charity needs require to be fulfilled.

I considered using pictures of postage stamps instead, so as to attract some philatelists... which sounds *truly* filthy. Fundraising is actually a dirty business, in many ways. I frequently get calls from the University of Texas Alumni Association... asking for donations for my alma mater. And I'm thinking *"What the hell is WRONG with you people???"* The University of Texas endowment fund is $24,000,000,000... that's the gross national product of a *small country* and they are begging for money? One of the thing I really liked about the ideology of Steemit when I first got here was the underlying idea that this had the making of a "gift economy." When I upvoted your comment, 11c went into your tip jar... and that creates a sort of "pay it forward" dynamic. We vote for the world we want with our habits... and I'll be up front and say that I am not great at giving to charities, but I DO occasionally buy a couple of bags of *fresh* groceries and haul them over to the local food pantry, and I DO sometimes volunteer to serve food at the American Legion hall. I suppose *"because there, but for the grace of God, go I."*
