FYP

you are ignorant sir and have no clue what the slaughter in Darfur is all about

Black on Black = tribal disputes, land grabs, political fighting, a.k.a business as usual.
Arab on Black = ethnic cleansing.

Annie's latest blog explains why she played for Refugees International on Celebrity Apprentice.

Funny how she made it a point to mention Ante Up For Africa was in the process of becoming a 501c3.

I am sure she has looked over this thread

damn, i sure hope this organization doesn't use the money to help these people come to the good ole US of A.

i've seen studies where the offspring of these types are responsible for massive crime.

the only people i want coming over are latvians, thais, and pygmy aborigines.

just say NO to bleeding heart liberals.

you got it and its very sad

admo owns all and annie duke and co. come of shady as always...

im so shocked

AUFA said the money goes to Center for American Progress or CAP and this is how CAP uses money

any update from ADMO or 501c3 status or from Hunter

First I want to thank Admo and all the shoopers for the lulz. Much appreciated.

I'm not necessarily against the impulse in some people towards charity or some individual charities themselves, but I love the irony of individuals running charities who treat people like **** in their day to day lives. A reasonable percentage of charity/non-profit organizers and managers seem to either be *******s inter-personally and/or have a "LOOK AT ME, I'M MAKING A DIFFERENCE" self-serving attitude towards their work. This has always bothered the hell out of me.

Another potential problem is the percentage of people in general who support charity a priori (i.e. charity is intrinsically good) even though charities and non-profits are pretty ineffectual at treating structural or large-scale problems, even when they are run well and completely legit (though arguably much better than doing nothing as a private citizen and still often a good sign of positive character traits as an individual).

Still, when people like Annie Duke want to pressure others into charity, I want to say STFU and treat the real people you meet and know in your day to day life better. Worry about being a decent human being first before you try and save the world, as apparently that is a difficult enough task you haven't mastered yet.

charity update: Ante Up For Africa never responded to the questions I asked them. We're donating to World Vision's Sudan Relief Fund instead.

baby update: three weeks ago we found out our baby girl had a life-threatening heart condition and substantial fluid accumulation. We named her Hope for obvious reasons. Hope passed away last Saturday.

Oh man Admo. I am terribly sorry for your loss.

That is terrible news. Sorry for your family's loss. I find it very admirable what you did in finding the charity that would do the most good for the most amount of people. Hope has a great father. Is it possible that I could transfer you funds on Stars and you make another gift in Hope's name? PM me if you would like.

Admo, you don't know me, but I want you to know my thoughts are with you and your family. Stay strong.

i'm sad sorry about the loss admo. stay strong. life has to go on

So sorry to hear that Admo.

Admo, I've been following this thread from day one.
I've admired and respected you the entire time.
I watched you on TV.
While you don't know me from Adam, I feel that I DO know you somewhat. I feel horrible for your loss. I am a father of two, and can't fathom what you and your family are going through.
Hang in there.

Terribly tragic news. My condolences to you and your family, Admo.

more sorry than i can write admo, my thoughts are with you and your family

peace be with you and yours

Really, really sorry to hear that about Hope. Condolences

f... condolences Sorry to hear about that, and its even worse that you went through all this crap while there was problems with your daughter...awful

sorry for your loss Admo she had a pure heart and went straight to heaven please let us know if you decide to name a fund in her memory where we can donate

I'm sad to hear about Hope. I can't imagine the heartbreak. I'm sure there are many of us who only know you through 2+2, but respect you for your character, strength, humor, and integrity. If there's anything we can do, please ask.

Admo - I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. Keep your head up and stay strong. I'll keep you in my prayers.
