Patrick's Saturday Six


Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment at Patrick's Place, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

1. When was the last time you donated money to a charity, and which cause was it? I add an extra $1 to my electric bill each month to help those who can't pay theirs. My favorite charity is City Union Mission, and it's probably the last one to which I actually sent a donation.

2. Think of the last time you were specifically asked for a handout from someone who approached you on the street: did you give him or her anything? Out here in the boonies, that doesn't happen. Oh, wait. Cliff and I were entering a McDonald's several months ago, and two boys around ten years old asked us for some money to buy burgers. They were not poor- or hungry-looking, so we declined.

3. What led to that decision? Who wants to encourage children to beg?

4. Take the quiz: How Good Are You?






You Are 44% Good



You are a fairly good person. You strive to live a moral life whenever possible.

You are usually kind, generous, and loyal. However, you do have a dark side that even you may not see.

When it comes down to ethical decisions, you tend to take the path of least resistance.

So you may end up lying, cheating, or engaging in other bad behavior... because it's just easier to do so.



You are also probably: Conflicted and confused about the current course of your life



Right now you are on track to being: A slightly crooked politician



To be a better person: Break one bad habit - whether it's telling white lies or spending too much money.


5. Which kind of charity/organization of the following list are you least likely to donate money to: a church, a people-oriented charity, a children-oriented charity, an animal-oriented charity, a college, or a food bank? a college.

6. If you could permanently block a single, specific charity from ever contacting you again, which would you block and why? I don't think I have any who contact me, so that isn't a problem.
