Here the thing. I agree that the premise is dumb. People should donate AND do the bucket, just for fun or just donate.

Some peoe are complaining though that its lame. Wel whi cares as long as it brings awareness and funding.

I saw one guy complain about how theres a small percentage thst doesnt go towards the cause. He must be new to donating money. Because thats not new. Besides, if even half my 10 dollar donation goes to the als fund , then thats 5 more dollars than they had before.

Im all for raising awareness and funding. Every little bit helps. If throwing ice water on your head makes people take notice, then im all for it.,

Make sure you donate guys. Every little bit helps. Have a nice day every one.

I wish people would please remove the sticks from their arses.

I think it's annoying how it floods the internet, but people are a little too uptight about the water challenge.

^ This.

Everyone is just going with the crowd and the fad to be cool by doing what everyone else is.

Most these kids doing this are just opting to do the challenge rather than donate money so they can have a cool video on Facebook and get likes.

Except for a small few. Any money and awareness is good but there are better ways to go about doing it imo

I didn't do the Ice Bucket challenge, I just donated $50.

And you know what? Some of the people who challenged me were disappointed.

It's unbelievable that in our society it's preferable to pour cold water on our heads than donate money to charity.

@immortal777: yea its horrible. On the other hand people waste tons more water showering than they should and keep the water runnong when brushing their teeth but will complain about the ice bicket challenge. It does make too much sense. No good deed goes unpinished though right. Nothing is perfect. Buy hey we also give tons of money as a nation to other countries. And we have organizations here in the u.s that focus on getting people to donate money to feed and shelter these starving children in other countries. You can go 2 hours without watching an add for one of those organizations.

I wish i could help everyone everywhere.

@karazor-el: people shower. it serves a purpose. people brush their teeth. it serves a purpose. people aren't as wasteful as they used to be when brushing their teeth. the amount of water that can possibly be wasted while brushing isn't even a 1/6 of a bucket. dumping a bucket of water on your head is meaningless. you achieve nothing. you waste water. you just satiate your own ego. donate, don't waste water.

More children die in an african town of not having access to clean water than the whole ALS population there is...

Not being disrespectful to ALS, but there are other problems that needs attention. And you don't raise awareness if you decrease awareness by wasting water in the first place...

You also must hate when children play with water or swimming pools. They waste far more water than the one in the bucket.

Charlie sheen did the challenge but instead of ice he put 10,000$ in the bucket and said ice will melt but the money will be more helpful instead

@black_arrow: people would not be dumping buckets of water on themselves without famous people doing it first. it's a wasteful fad. 90% of the people doing this do it for the lolz, they don't donate, they just want to be in with the 'cool people'. nice try at a troll.

You possibly wound´t know about this without Famous people doing it first. Many of the people that have donated, wound´t know about this without the famous people doing first.

What headline do you think it attracts more to people: Bill Gates donated tons of dollars to ALS or Bill Gates threw himself a bucket of ice, because of the ALS icebucket challenge?

People will follow any trend. If some people start dumping ice water on their heads everyone else will do it too. They definitely did get some donations so that is good though.

It pisses me off when they don't use ice. It's literally in the name of the challenge.

@i_dont_like_comics:

You're absolutely wrong.

1. It doesn't "waste" water. That water returns directly to the natural hydrologic cycle.

2. It DOES accomplish something. It has raised millions of dollars for fighting a horrific and debilitating disease.

3. Me dumping a bucket of ice water on my head here in Pennsylvania has absolutely no effect on people in Africa. I couldn't send this water there if I tried, it's just not feasible.

I already posted my more in depth analysis and some statistics in another thread.

The original purpose is great, and it's awesome for spreading awareness for ALS. But there's a lot of cases where people post these videos just to get on the bandwagon and get views and don't actually donate to the cause or, a lot of times, don't EVEN KNOW WHAT ALS IS, which is really dumb.

Seeing as how a majority of the US is in the middle of a drought, and I assume most people haven't researched how the ALS foundation used their donations, I think you raise a good point. The way I see it, people should look into how the foundation spends donated funds to see if they agree with how they are spent, and stop wasting our natural resources. Idiots.

@steelofvalyria:

The donations are actually being made to dozens of different ALS charities. I personally read about the different ones before I chose which to give my donation.

Most of the U.S. Is in a drought? This is false. The only region of the United States experiencing significant drought is the Southwest. Many Eastern States have received above average rainfall this summer.
