who done the ice bucket challenge
 

i have just done mine :hehe:

I'm doing it today

Perched for video's

As if i'm posting on here D:

ah go on tom. i know i will.

might call out arista too

Who has completed the Ice-bucket Challenge?


(please see me after class)

That feeling when all your friends are doing it but nobody nominates you </3

:joker:

I have been nominated twice now and still not doing it.

One of the most annoying fads ever tbh, if you are going to donate then do it without making a big song and dance about it.

its fun though,

do it do it do it do it do it do it

:hehe: oops someones in trouble

thats a good thing :fist:

to be fair, most people wouldn't of donated before the ice bucket stuff. i don't really mind it. it's brought a **** load of awareness to the cause and tbh i never really heard of ALS before all this. Neknominations was a ridiculously stupid fad but i'm happy this one helps people and it's really just a bit of fun

:flutter:

what was Neknominations i forgot?

down a drink and nominate a few of your friends. completely pointless and stupid

Fair point.

Although I still don't see why people need to do the challenge, add a video online and then donate tbh, why not just donate?

Some upload the screenshot of them donating afterwards and that's good but some seem to do it for attention more than the cause itself.

a challenge is the best way of donating because it makes everyone aware of it,

The challenge is a good way to raise awareness.

Only if people actually donate..

I don't disagree with raising awareness at all, I just think a lot of people ignore what it's actually about.

Nah, I don't like posting stuff like that on TiBB

I agree with Josy. It's just a fad that'll die out in a few weeks, it's not exactly going to raise much money in the long-term. There are ways of donating and promoting without pouring a bucket over your head and pressuring others into doing the same. If I want to donate money I'll do it, like Josy said, there's no need to make a huge song and dance about it.

im sure people are donating, its fun and its a great way to spread the course, a picture of a donation wont go as far as a video

It's raised over $40m in the last couple of weeks. Fad or not, it's effective and only a positive thing.

Yeah of course it's positive atm, what about when the fad dies out? do you honestly think all these people are going to keep donating to the cause?

I disagree that it's only a positive thing in the long run tbh..

What about when people start getting hurt or experience bad reactions just like the neknoms?

What about all the water that's being wasted for these challenges?

It's a fad that will die when something else comes along and takes it's place.

I already donate to charities and won't be doing the ice water challenge just because 'everyone else is'.

It's completely a positive thing in the long run, the charity have said they've raised many many times more money then they ever expected to raise ever. The fad will die out but they have an incredible amount to work with for now and the future.

The water lost is the equivalent to a shower... that doesn't make a noticeable subtraction to the tens of millions raised.

We'd all love to donate to every charity all the time but it's simply not realistic. This gives a specific incentive especially for those who are oblivious to the charity in the first place.

Ultimately it's only a good thing.

I suppose we will have to agree to disagree.

I definitely don't think it's a bad thing for the charities for now, the donations won't continue from the biggest majority though.

you should do it, its not that bad

I thought it was for mcmillan? Gav did it yesterday and was told to text something to them to donate 3 quid.

Theres a couple of different charities.

Just did it!

Unfortunately Macmillan twisted it to make out it was for them, even though the ice bucket feeling was supposed to emulate the feeling of ALS.

I've been nominated a few times actually but haven't done it...oop

now take a hot hot hot shower to save you from getting a cold

do it :D

agreed. I'm sick of seeing it all over the internet everywhere I go.

not in this weather:o

your gonna get wet anyway
