By the way, should I ignore my life experiences? We all make observations based on life experience. If something happens once or twice, it could be random. But when you see something fairly consistently for 20 years, you can usually draw some pretty accurate conclusions.

How old am I? I am in my 40s.

With regard to the rape thing, you are totally twisting my position. You totally misunderstood what I said. I explained my position thoroughly in a later post.
How could you possibly know how charitable people are? Who talks about how much they donate, unless they are trying to impress someone?

There are obviously plenty of acquaintances of mine whose charitable habits I know nothing about. I'm not denying that. But there are plenty of acquaintances that I talk about that kind of stuff with. I know which of my friends give away a lot of money and which ones don't. I know which ones give to political parties and candidates too.

I call bullsh.it. First off, I've never had a discussion with my friends about how much they donate to charity. I don't care. It's none of my business.

Secondly, you just have no idea unless you actually see the donations and/or their checking accounts.

You're talking out of your ass here. It's obvious. You started with "most liberals" and now you're kind of admitting you really have no idea.

I ask friends to donate to charities that I'm involved with. They will sometimes ask me to donate to charities that they are involved with. What is surprising or unusual about that?

That's a lot different than knowing amounts, no?

Either way, this whole thing gave you a chance to crowbar in that you are involved with charities. We're all impressed.

If I'm on a charity committee or if I'm just raising money for a charity I will usually know the exact amount that a person gives.

I'm not trying to impress anyone. There are plenty of people out there that do a million times more than me. I could certainly do a lot more than I do.

You like to keep moving the goalposts, huh? I guess when you're trying to squirm out of a series of dumb posts it works.

Here's the bottomline....nothing you have said tonight is factual. You have absolutely NO idea the amount your "friends" or anyone else donates unless you have access to their finances. And we both know you don't.
