My grandfather was a good man and instilled values in me, he always used to cite one of his favorite values
"No pay, no work"
So I have also continued the family tradition and have carried on that value. Volunteer work seems like a good idea and it probably is and good on you if you do volunteer work I am not judging you. But if you have to make exceptions or compromises for your values you don't have any values at all.
Must stand firm.
I will give to charity but no volunteer work like working in a soup kitchen or building something like Habitat For Humanity, no pay no work its that simple.
Who else agrees that holding fast to your values is important in all circumstances?
Don't kid yourself, you don't do charity work because you're one of the dirt poors who is on the receiving end of it.
I've probably served you soup before.

No pay, no work. What's wrong with that.
My grandfather grew up in the great depression too. Him and his father and many other men got together and built an elementary school in their town for no pay. Sometimes its not about the money but just helping to make a better community.

You have officially gone to the top of the shitty poster list.

Terrible, but good on you.. you have your own opinion.
I enjoy helping others as much as I can, wherever my expertise is.. for free.

If you were on fire, I'd make sure the check cleared before putting you out.

I would volunteer but I've heard of too many volunteers getting charged with disability fraud and losing their pay checks. I don't want that happening to me

Yeeeaaaahhhh... sounds like you're kind of twisting that into "Oh sweet, so I never need to volunteer for anything."

I'd just like to point out that Mizzoukills had a thread a couple of days ago where he claimed that FDR knew about and allowed the bombing of Pearl Harbor for political gain. He went on to say that Anne Frank didn't keep a diary. Her father simply wrote it later when he escaped as a hoax to make money.
Please reconsider.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'll take Darth Vaders word over either of you. He pwned the sh*t out of mizzou.

FDR knew about an imminent Jap attack on Pearl Harbor months before December 7th.
No he didn't.

The newer fleet was moved north just before the attack.
You talking about the carriers? The Pacific Fleet had three carriers assigned. The rest were in the Atlantic. The Enterprise was to the west returning to Pearl after ferrying fighters to Wake Island. The Lexington was returning from Midway after doing the same for Midway Island. And the Saratoga was steaming for Pearl from the West Coast after time in dry dock. None of these ships were "moved north" or anywhere else for that matter right before the attack. In fact, they were on their way back to Pearl Harbor when the attack came.
quote:
The submarine nets were left open.
This was done to allow two minesweepers and an oceangoing tug to enter the harbor that morning. There were ships patrolling the entrance to the harbor and they did intercept and sink one Japanese midget sub.
quote:
The new radar suddenly stopped working.
No. The radar was working fine and picked up the incoming Japanese strike. The problem is these radar signatures were mistakenly identified as a flight of B-17's that was expected that morning.

I volunteer at the local little theatre, basically everyone there is a volunteer. I build the sets. I get to do it 100% by myself, and I enjoy it. It really helps them out since they are old and not good at it. Been doing it for 5 or so years. I meet with the director of the next play tonight.

Yes. He was undoubtedly on the receiving end of many people who were 'working for no pay,' but was either too selfish or oblivious to pass it on to others.

If your grandfather had a "no volunteer work under any circumstances" policy, then yea he was probably dumb as frick.
Probably too stupid to not get hoodwinked so he put a self-imposed ban on volunteer work to protect himself from his own stupidity.

Penny wise, dollar dumb. I volunteer a lot because I enjoy it. Through a few of the organizations I have gotten 4 referrals and 3 of those turned into work. So, if you care about the things you do, people notice and tell people you are a person to do business with. That is why you see a lot of people who own businesses volunteering. It's a way to help, network, and prove you like to help people because you enjoy it.
