I think people sometimes forget the ideals of this word, most noteably the collectors.
For me, one of the important tennants is the fact its volentary.
Now what i can't fathom is why a collector today at my local tube station, who choose to use an explitative when i said no to his request for money. For a start of I obviously wasn't the first person to go past and recieve such kindness, the station manager informed me that he had requested the police to move him on already.
But its the way they expect people to give money, yes, i was wearing an expensive suite, but i generally only give to causes I belive in, and those which i think are most underfunded are in recipt of a large proportion of my philanthropy.
It just makes my blood boil.
