Why would she not answer? that sounds so stupid. And your thread title also "Aren't charity donations meant to be a private thing?" Why are they? Who made up that rule? :laugh:

This thread is both depressing and desperate. If you spend your days trying to reach for reasons to hate some irrelevant ex-hm then you probably need to re-assess your priorities.

Trying to drag her over a donation to charity? That's just sad.

Ross. 22-07-2015 01:51 PM

She was asked what she would do with her money, and she answered. What a total non-argument.

Nothing to do with us what she will do with her money anyway.

Where did I say it was a rule?:shrug:

There are certain things polite people don't do. Boasting about charity is one of them. I think it was rude of the journalist to even ask her what she was going to do with the money.

She could have simply stated that she hadn't decided what to do with it yet. Or could have simply talked about property investment without the charity gloating narcissism.

Lmao, like everyone else has already told you, she was asked a question and she answered it.

Well how is it Chloe's fault the journalist asked?

Why would she lie? What she is doing is a good thing and it's beyond me why you're trying to clutch at straws to make her out to be a bad person.

Oh My goodness, you're title kind of implies you think it's some sort of moralistic rule

I'm sure if she brushed the question off she would be satan too, there's no winning.. pun not intended.

bots 22-07-2015 03:18 PM

She could have donated all the money to charity because she was such a crap winner :laugh:

It is a social norm.

Ah, as opposed to a moral rule. (Hey, what's that in the plughole? Ah, it's split hair...you can buy products to treat that, I believe.)

And exactly when did it become a social norm? I seem to recall that most telethons rely upon extremely public donations to their causes from celebs, businesses and organisations to spur on viewers to pick up the phone and pledge some money.

It goes right back to the bible.

Strange how the Bible is quoted so often by people with the least Christian attitudes.

Convenient how the rest of my post was ignored, presumably because it made a valid point which undermines the argument being put forward by the OP.

Marsh. 23-07-2015 09:57 PM

I've seen some desperate threads but this has them all beat.

What is unchristian about my attitude?

I was just pointing out that even back 2000 years ago it was frowned upon to boast about giving to charity.

Marsh. 23-07-2015 10:53 PM

Now you're consulting the bible for things to bash Chloe with? :laugh2:

Ashley. 23-07-2015 11:10 PM

Don't use the bible as an excuse to be nasty.

Never use the bible as an excuse to be nasty.

I'm not being nasty. Simply pointing out that charity boasting is vulgar and narcissisistic.

If anything, I am being "real" and "telling it like it is" and chloe seemed to admire that in her BFF Helen.

Marsh. 23-07-2015 11:23 PM

On what planet were Helen and Chloe BFFs? :joker:

They got along, that's about it.

Dunno, but they must do because they have been bumping my thread for days.

"He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

Bless you, my child. Now go in peace to love and serve the Lord, who I am sure still loves you even though...

You started out with a different goal,
But now you're cast in another role,

That's your opinion.

BENDERBOY 24-07-2015 12:20 PM

She's buying herself some good publicity, won't make me forget what a two=faced git she is.

Indeed it is. But it is also a widely accepted social norm.

You are free to disagree with it. Just allow me to have my opinion.

But this thread isn't about me or any of us. It's about chloe.

Please keep it that way, as per the rules of the forum.

The bible being consulted to try and prove Chloe is a bad person. :joker::joker::joker:

That tweet is about Chloe who was in CBB not Donny Chloe

Cherie 24-07-2015 01:17 PM

I wasn't that keen on Chloe but it was kind of her to donate to charity

Ah right :laugh: Yep it was a very generous donation it's her money she can donate it if she likes, so what if she declared she had?

No, the bible was consulted to show that not boasting about charity is a social norm that goes back at least 2000 years.

It is frowned on by everyone except chloe fans.:laugh:

ThriceShy 24-07-2015 01:53 PM

Good article about it here actually:


http://canvas.union.shef.ac.uk/wordpress/?p=2734


Charity selfies! It gets worse.

It is all about narcissism. And we know chloe is a narcissist anyway because those are the types of people that want to be in big brother.

Ashley. 24-07-2015 02:04 PM

This thread in a nutshell, basically:

something something something social norm something something something narcissism narcissist something something bible something vulgar

Nope.

Charities know that donating is private. They would never reveal the identity of someone donating and they would never ask that someone publicise it.

There can be only one reason for telling the world that you gave 20 grand to a charity, and that is to make yourself look good.

zakman440 24-07-2015 02:42 PM

:facepalm: I didn't even like Chloe in the house, but this thread is absolutely ridiculous. DS asked her a question - she answered it. Why does that matter so much? The show finished a week ago, it's time to move on.
