enfuego,,, my calling attention to it is because of the FAD aspect, and the fact that the money goes to the "machine" , I know you dont know me,,, but you do know I spend a ton of time at childrens charities,,, Ive cut hair for homeless kids for almost 13 years now,,, I am about the action,,, no t the lip service,,,
I am TOTALLY happy with the marketing aspect,,, I pray to god, people that are donating to breast cancer STOP,,, and give the money to CHILD HELP,,, or ALS,,, or any organization where the money goes where it should go,,,
go look up child help,, its the greatest organization in the world,,, heart breaking,,, but amazing,,, or ronald mcdonalds house
Im just getting fed up of the marketing,, and the lies,,

Let's see this done in the middle of winter. Who the hell cares about ice water being dumped on you in the middle of Summer. Feels great!
I've sat in an ice tub with the jets on so many times in my life I've lost count. Ice Bucket Challenge comes nowhere near the comparison.

Every year, the NFL continues to give off the impression that it cares deeply about breast cancer research. Through its partnership with the American Cancer Society, NFL games in October in recent years have featured players, coaches, and referees all wearing pink game apparel in order to raise awareness for its “A Crucial Catch” campaign, whose goal is to make it easier to gain access to regular cancer screenings. However, when you begin to dig a little deeper, it appears that all is not what it seems when it comes to just how much the NFL is committed to this issue.
Last week, we learned that only 8.01 percent of the money that is spent on pink NFL merchandise is actually going towards cancer research, while the remaining money goes to various overhead costs. To be fair, their campaign only stresses the importance of regular screenings, and does not even pretend to be searching for a cure. Either way, it still feels misleading, and based on what we learned on Monday, perhaps their campaign for awareness isn’t much of a priority, as well.
According to reports, Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams requested permission to wear pink for the remainder of the season in order to honor his mother, who died from the disease last May, but was denied by the league.

Not somewhat
Entirely pure LOA
The reason most humans struggle with LOA in this context is the kneejerk defense of "I would never think about something unwanted so much it could actually manifest in my experience"
The respectful retort is almost a Princess Bride line..."I do not think you are mostly thinking about what you're thinking you mostly think about"
They are both complete bullshit.
If you didn't know any better, you would think the only type of cancer is breast cancer. I know about ALS as I worked in that field for awhile and it is bad and then I worked for a major corporation that I knew didn't know shit. That place was like a cult and they were all about that stupid ice bucket challenge. What is the point. It's for all the little social media freaks. There are probably about 70 more cancers. Some have to make a video of everything in their piece of shit millenial lives. "I challenge my besties Hilary, Slutty Sarah, and Tyrone to the ice bucket challenge" as they giggle.
