Triggering tight arsed Australians

[ShortForBob]

Now that wealthy countries have got Covid under control with vaccinations, there's looming crisis in countries all over the world trying to deal with the aftermath.
The children orphaned.

Here's 2 documentaries about children who lost one or both carers to covid and now raise their younger siblings alone.

With nearly 500,000 deaths from Covid-19, India is one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic. The second wave that swept through the subcontinent in Spring 2021 destroyed entire families and is estimated to have left behind more than 100,000 orphans.

A thread to discuss the best way to help whether by direct action or charitable donations.

My charity of preference is UNICEF.
Yours?

A new thread covering both attention seeking AND virtue signaling!
When she already has a thread on this exact subject going.

What is wrong with you Meli?

Why do you hate threads seeking to share information about how "rich" boat owners can help the worlds orphaned children?
genuinely curious.
Some of those orphans may like a sailing mentor to help with the loss of Mum or Dad.
"Charity" is not confined to donating cash.
Boat clubs could get in touch with local organizations to offer free sailing classes to some of these kids for example (after their most pressing are met)
Lots of things you could be doing instead of trashing people's threads.

Really? How do you stalk someone who has you blocked?

As Commander Bond pointed out, I am on double secret ignore so in reality I am simply yelling at the clouds. Or taking the piss out of the clouds anyway. She can’t see what I post and I am sure if she did ‘accidentally’ read her threads before logging in (like the second after she wakes up each day) she would obviously scroll quickly past, for isn’t that the point of ignoring someone? So they can’t see what you post and thus, won’t become offended? Like a 10 year old putting their hands over their ears and yelling LA LA LA I can’t hear you?

Or are you participating in that core principle of the lunatic woke left, taking offence on behalf of someone else?

 

[LB 15]

Did I read Melis post right? Is she shaming us for not taking covid orphans out sailing?

You can’t make this shit up!

 

[The Main Man]

Amazingly not everyone who sails either owns a boat or is rich.

 

[MikeHunt]

I cooked and delivered over 14,000 free meals to the homeless (including many children living in an old tin factory) during the first year of Covid, Meli. Oh, and organised second hand furniture and clothing and delivered it. What did you do. Meli?

OK, you're exempt.

 

[MikeHunt]

No ongoing Gubbie job for us Meli. The government shut us down for a very long time... so we kept our staff on and cooking for the homeless, Meli. What did you do, Meli?

 

[LB 15]

She virtue signals on social media and goes marching with her fellow morons.
She will have a new cause by lunchtime.

 

[FinnFish]

What the fuck are you on about.

So let me get this right, I'm suppose to contact a COVID19 orphan in Pakistan to become a 'sailing mentor' and my club needs to offer free sailing classes to worlds orphaned children?

Tell you what, why don't you adopt an orphan or two and keep us updated, maybe your communist son could do the same. Since your daughter is is essentially a glorified baby sitter you'll still able to stack books during the day.

Teachers are glorified baby sitters?
Both my son and I volunteer, either working with the homeless or with "Save the Children"
What do you do?

Meli why don’t you pony up and you teach these orphans how to sai...wait.
Oh never mind.

Oh she’s adorable!!

As someone who actually grew up in Karachi, Pakistan (my teen age years) and my whole family were very active members in the Karachi Yacht Club, I have bit of an idea how the KYC members would react to Meli’s proposal. With laughter. Or wobble their head and say WTF?

Typical Pakistani KYC members are UBER wealthy millionaires , foreign educated, almost oligarch types. They socialize & sail small skiffs (mostly Enterprise, Wayfarer's and Lark dinghy’s) in Pakistan when they’re residing there, with their fully crewed super yachts based in S France for when they feel like a little overseas getaway, every summer and over the winter holidays.

Meli has no concept of the disparity of KYC members and the poor orphaned souls. Or practical suggestion how one would go about bringing this fantasy to fruition by bringing Pakistani oligarchs together with some of the world’s poorest orphaned children.

From memory isn't she a member of a small sailing club? If she would like contact information for some active KYC members and past Commodores and board members, she could let me know and I’ll pass their details along. I’m sure they’d love to hear from her and her Club and can tell them what to do to make the world right. Here’s an opportunity to get the ball rolling if she really cares.

Sorry Meli, you are just virtue signalling and seeking attention again as is your usual MO, you’re not “sharing information how rich boat owners can help the worlds orphaned children”.

And BTW Meli, I already for all my working life donate to charities, I sponsor 2 disadvantaged children here in OZ, and volunteer my time to raising money for cancer research. I’m not rich, but I own a nice boat and do what I can already. If that’s OK with you?

Now standby for Meli's BS stories of all the Covid orphans she's saved.

She virtue signals on social media and goes marching with her fellow morons.

"Claims" to go marching.

Oh she’s adorable!!

Meli, like many LWNJs thinks posting shit on an obscure sailing platform and lecturing others makes a difference somehow.

The funny thing is she has put everyone on ignore, so who the fuck is she lecturing too?

The thread title change here tells me she's determined to antagonise those same people she has on ignore.
