I Knew There Was A Reason I Loved Sandra Bullock

Lol nice, you call me a retard then ask me why I am bashing someone.

I wasn't bashing her anyway, just saying it would have shown more class if she had done it anonymously, instead of turning it into a PR move. Charity should be about the victims, and when celebs come out and make it all about them - it can give the unsettling impression of them either trying to steal or share in the spotlight being put on the victims.

If you think i'm a retard for pointing this out, so be it...

The fact of the matter is, there would not be such a stupid argument in the first place had she done it anonymously. A man can dream.

It's not a stupid argument. A lot of Celebs do this, and it's a very valid debate to have.

Go back and read my post before that one.

Anyone giving money to this is doing a good thing, I just commented on the fact this was a PR stunt and cheapens the whole thing, same as some guy donating $10 to get in the good books with his GF to get some. The red cross still get the money to do the work there though I agree.

For many including mr "your a retard" man, the end is the only thing that matters, hence a drug dealer that ruined lives donating money is still a good person cause, hey they gave a lot of money. The reasons or means that lead to the donation don't make any difference at all as to comment on.

The point I was ultimately making was praising someone for doing something when huge numbers of others have done the same is silly, especially when what they are doing has less effect on them financially and was done for selfish reasons (to rework the idea they are a nice person, when in reality if that were truely the case it would of been done anonymously).

Besides, she doesn't give a damn. It was only for appearence/tax purposes.

Reasons don't matter. Results do.

A thoughtful post and I agree with it. The end result - more money to the victims - is a good result, no matter the motives of the person giving the charity. Giving the money anonymously would have showed more class however - and turning it into a publicity stunt does cheapen the whole thing. But I do agree, the fact victims got more aid is a good thing, even if it was done for selfish gains.

I disagree with you again Zyeriis. Results matter, but i believe reasons do too, and is at the very least debate worthy.

Not going to repeat myself after this post, said debate is stupid and shallow. There was no crime or wrong-doing in the reason (no matter what it was).

Edit: If you're argument is now about what the reason truly was (pure speculation at best), I elevate my stance of it's stupidity, to an even higher degree.
