I have a rule.

When I give money to strangers (homeless, charity, that Canucks fan with the dog, etc) I make sure I give an amount that won't upset me if they spend it on the wrong stuff out lied to me. Same rule with lending friends money.

I gave Ian money, but I'm not too upset.

Similar to ^, I donated a small amount to a long time CP member, who I vividly remember discussing the Tuscaloosa tornado.

I'm disappointed, a little annoyed I didn't pick up on the signs before I donated. However it certainly won't prevent me from chipping in again should a call go out.

I'm more pissed off about the $30 I spent to watch 'The Grey' in the theatre a few years ago. What a terrible movie.

The $80 I spent on Star Wars Battlefront would have been better off going to an internet scammer.

It did, they're called EA.

That said, I was pretty meh on Battlefront until I got into the "Heroes vs. Villians" mode. That is all I play now. Think of it as Star Wars meets Counter-strike.

I agree, Heroes vs Villians is an amazing mode.

I just recently sponsored a girl in Bolivia. Should I send her a flames jersey?
