Donating money toward the impoverished children in third world nations is certainly much more noble that donating money toward toys for sick children, but donating money ttoward toys for sick children will have a greater impact that donatin money toward the impoverished children of third world nations.
For every $50 donated toward impoverished children in third world nations, the impoverished children in third world nations will likely see less than $10 of it, and less than $1 will make a difference tomorrow.
For Every $50 donated toward toys for sick children, the sick children will likely see around $40 of it, and around $25 will make a difference twenty years from now.
Until the charities helping impoverished children in third world nations can actually get most of my money to where it's supposed to be going, I'm going to choose a charity that can.
86% of statistics are made up on the spot 
You just pulled those numbers out of your ass, didn't you?

Donation made.
feel free to donate meds to little african orphans on your own time James.
I dont agree with sending money to Afican orphans .. if there county cant help there own.. then its tuff really we should look after are own... & sure like the OP sending money for kids to play games while there layin on there death beds is a good idea.. as they prob dont have what ever other kids have.. the freedom to go outside & play with others etc so they should at least have some fun :) as for things like sending money to 3rd world places.. I totally disagree with it... why are they having more kids.. etc etc. when they have no food or running water, there bein stupid... why reproduce & spread AIDS etc. etc.. just wrong...they should learn to adapt & work it out for them selfs.. & if they cant perhaps.. its GODS way ( joke about the god lark.. but if ya belive in that ur choice ) of saying they should not bring any more into this world..
You need to look at your history.
Europe invaded Africa centuries ago, enslaving many in exchange for firearms, to tribal people. Europeans also took the resources and effectively treated the natives like filth, before dismantlying their empires over the last 2 world wars. I am studying the effect of AIDS in Africa myself, and if my lecturers information is accurate, there are areas in sub-sahara Africa where they beleive that having sex with an infant cures AIDS.
The problem is not that of ignorance, but that of lack of understanding of how it travels.
Thinking about it from someones perspective living in Africa, there are no pensions, so who will provide for you when you are older? Your offspring. Many will die and many will be needed to support you, so you have many children. Even we in industrialised countries were in the same position centuries ago, its called the demographic transition.
My aplogies if this is addressed earlier, but i felt quite angry by his statement, and didnt read on after this.

I think there are two things when it comes to charities. First is that everyone who can should contribute to one or more, though not being involved doesn't make you a bad person. Second is to contribute to the charity you choose you feel strongly about. We support child's play partly because we're all gamers and this is gaming related. If you think another charity is better for you to support, then go support it! Send them money! And if this charity inspires you to go search for something else that you prefer, then we're still happy. 
agreed, ever since i was young i was in and out of hospital for several years but you know what, it didnt bother me i had other things that needed more attention then myself so i learned to cope. ever since then my family and i have always donated to local charities to help those who are less fortunate. especially to the likes of "Mencap" and "cancer research" charities
for one thing, take a look around your room or at old toys / clothing you guys throw away

Please remember that discussing politics will get the thread locked.

Just out of interest did CCP donate money to the charity?
To be perfectly honest I'm pretty sick of charities, there advertisements try to emotionally blackmail (good thing I am emotionally retarded)and when you don't donate you are judged on the spot as being a bad man, a person of no conscience or morality.
Especially annoying when my tax money is already handed out to pay for the elderly, the disabled, the sick, the psychopaths, the unemployed, the lazy etc etc.
My new sig! Yes I need practice!

Childs play is a worthy cause. So are a lot of other charities. I don't want to throw stones at _anyone_ wanting to donate this christmas.
If Childs Play is not to your taste, then find one that is. http://www.charitychoice.co.uk/ is a possible place to start.
Charities can _always_ use more money, so whatever you donate, be it a fiver on behalf of someone, or perhaps even a monthly subscription (most charities can reclaim tax on donations too) will make a difference to that charity.
