Thankyou.ALS often begins with muscle twitching and weakness in an arm or leg, or sometimes with slurring of speech. Eventually, ALS can affect your ability to control the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe. ALS can't be cured and eventually leads to death.
As of today, 62.5 million dollars in donations have been raised from the ice bucket challenge. -

I've had the unfortunate displeasure of watching my mother show signs and symptoms from the very early stages, through diagnoses and eventually through to her inevitable passing 49 weeks ago. I can tell you that not only was she aware of everything she was losing but she knew she was about to lose before any medical professional had any hint about it. I can't imagine how horrifically scared she must have been for those 5 years. To say that ALS is a horrible disease is a significant understatement and honestly just words. -
It doesn't portray the true horrors of the disease.
That being said, ALS, cancer, HIV, hunger, lack of water, whatever it is that you're dealing with is you're own personal hell to you. Just as you can't imagine what it would like to be in someone else's shoes, they also don't know what affects you and to what degree. Brizz, I've never really liked you, for many reasons, all of which are not important at this point. I don't have any issues with you thinking your water cause is equally or even more pressing than the ALS concerns. That's a simple matter of opinion. I do take umbrage in the fact that you have issues with something that is clearly helping to raise money for a needed cause, even if it's not your particular cause. My guess is 85% of the schmucks & schmuckets who are doing this challenge are blissfully ignorant of what ALS is, how it effects the person with it or what the research/treatments are. -
The good thing is....some of them are finding out this info. Some of them are become educated about the subject matter. Some of them are taking the information they learned and passing it along to others. Maybe one of those people are the ones who are going to find the cure. Is this realistic...probably not. I've probably my got a better chance of seeing a pic of you and mystery foundling each other's tits. But, anything that garners, revenue, interest, support or knowledge about any social/medical issue is probably good in my book. I respect your passion and views about a subject that is obviously near & dear to you. I encourage you to press on despite the line of crap from the hecklers you've amassed in this thread (reminds me of the scene from airplane when their lined up in the isles waiting to get a piece of the hysterical passenger) and hope you promote your oppinion, generate support and grow your movement and increase followers. If it's important to you then it's important in general.

I think your timing & choice of thread leave a bit to be desired but in the end, meh I don't think it's going to change much so who the hell really cares. The social media sluts will continue to chase the bandwagon and ALS research will continue to benefit.
Sorry I took up so much time, this was rather unexpected and surprised even myself.
Ok, back to everyone bitching and moaning and giving each other verbal wegies. -

Ok, back to everyone bitching and moaning and giving each other verbal wegies.I think you are likely right about my choice of timing and thread. I believe that most of us--myself included--walk around this world mostly unaware of the problems of others but that most of have those one or two things that are hot button issues for us. Things that matter to us maybe based on our own experiences, maybe because of our own fears. For me, sustainability is one of my hot button issues and I'm very passionate about it.

At the Wsame time, I realize this--- ALS--is a hot button for others and while I still maintain that I have not said anything bad about the cause itself and make no apologies for my opposition to the wasting of water, I can see why it is hurtful that I am criticizing something that people see as a potential salvation for loved ones. If there was something happening that was directly related to my loved ones, I'm sure I too would protect it fiercely.

It was said they were going to start fining people for the amount of water that is being wasted

I just had to come back and post that link if anyone bothers to check it out. Josh and diminishers comments bugged me so much. I loathe ignorance. Talking about the plentiful ness of water and "the amount used is minuscule compared to the amount of water on earth."
I assume he was referring to the undrinkable oceans. Knowledge is power kids. -

I did read it. I looked at that link too. I then clicked the following link to the original article. It's science fiction for now. Only way to access it is by drilling for it. Which is extremely costly. There's not even any efficient method yet. The water extracted still contains salt which then requires desalination. Also there's the possibility that some or all of those aquifers could be contaminated. The whole thing is still theoretical at this point. Did you look at my link? Or just immediately run for the reply button. Those pictures are actually real.༺☠Ꮹཞ༏ཀ☠༻ wrote:

Ok Honeyyy.......I mean DoubleTongueI just asked the 5 people I'm sitting with, all of which have seen and or taken the challenge, if they knew why they did or or why anyone else is doing it. No one did, I didn't even know why. I don't see why someone needs to bash on Brizz when she was just voicing her point of view on it and she isn't completely wrong for doing so. She makes asome good points and I think everyone else is just feeding off the drama and they don't really know what they are talking about while doing it. It has degraded down to simple name calling instead of trying to prove any points at all. Anyways, Brizz, I don't feel you did or said anything wrong so sit hack and enjoy the haters.

Saba, you almost dropped me on my ass with that heartfelt and meaningful tirade. Well said mate. After that you're allowed to go back to being, well, Saba. 👍

Sorry Grim/Gritt(cant tell which one) that post of mine is severely out of context😂
But anyway. Why is it that the farmers in Imperial City, California are still allowed to use billions of gallons of water to grow alfalfa/hay to ship to asia yet the farmers on the otherside of California(the ones that grow a higher percentage of the fruit and vegetables for the US) are still having to let their crop wither and such? If anything it should be the other way round.
-
...
If you live in california wouldn't it be better to contact your nearest government official(not american, dont know who you talk to) and complain/campaign(whichever works) about the export farming being able to use so much water whilst the rest of the population is told to conserve due to drought.Makes no sense to me at all really.

Imperial Valley. Sorry😂

You can blame me for that Gritt 😝Josh his name is Grimm. You're not the first person to call him Gritt.

I appears Matt Damon has come up with a brilliant yet simple solution to the problem. Use toilet water.
As a co founder of water.org he was conflicted with the challenge and that was his way of solving it. Respect the man for dumping toilet water on himself.
