[QUOTE]...what KPS was the best/most memorable/saddest/most frustrating/most chocolatey? My personal favorite as the one of Mrs. E that just said "I'm still here." Because, true or not, I could totally see her still lurking like a crazy, wild-haired woman out in the bushes outside of our proverbal E-house.

She actually emailed me regarding that one, and said it wasn't her who wrote it and asked for it to be taken down. Oh, and she CC'd Knot Annie on the whole thing. Lulz.

<div>Well that was a clear admission of her still lurking then because how the hell would she have known about the site?</div>

arbolita · December 2010

One of her fans emailed her about it. Obviously.

I can't speak for Alix, but my beef with the SA is their whole "we hate gay people" stance. Clearly they do good as an organization, but they ARE an evangelical church and their social agenda is concerning. When I make a charitable donation, I don't want that money going to an organization that has, in the past, threatened to shut down all of their soup kitchens in NYC if they "have" to offer benefits to same sex couples.

What isn't wrong with them may be a bit more apt ;) I despise their politics and theology and refuse to support them and their anti-gay and overtly Christian idealism. My money goes to OxFam and my goods go to Goodwill.

xyrius · December 2010

i had no idea... that is so disheartening and sad.

(about the SA)

alixzafiris · December 2010

Add that to the fact that a SA in Edmonton was burning Harry Potter and Twilights that were donated to them and I can't do anything but scoff at them (though I do feel bad when I walk past the old people with their buckets and they give you the "I know you have a toonie in your pocket" look. I'd rather give it to Tim freaking Horton's than the Salvation Army).

Not to mention, remember when the SA bucket was accompanied by a nice man in a santa suit who rang a bell? Now it's just some dude in sweatpants on his cell phone. All that money you're using for your disgusting political agenda, and yet you can't spare the $50 for the costume rental anymore? Yuck.

kcscejal · December 2010

That is also why I do not care for the SA. I think there are a lot of people that have no idea, and just give them their pennies because they're standing outside Wally World ringing their bells.

crfische · December 2010

I think KPS and KPSCO made this place emo.

arbolita · December 2010

1) That's really disgusting, that they would burn donations made by others. If you ask for money and say it's for starving children, I expect my money to go directly to starving children. Likewise, if I donate a toy/coat/bok to be given to a needy family, I expect it to be given to a needy family. If my money is misappropriated by a charity, it's wrong, yes? There are repercussions? Why can they physically set fire to non-monetary donations and get away with it? I'm more than a bit appalled.

2) I need to know what a toonie is.

crfische · December 2010

My face IS emo, thanks to KPS and KPSCO!

alixzafiris · December 2010

Exactly. I'm sure those people that donated the books wished they'd given them to a library instead.

A toonie is a two-dollar coin

andy71781 · December 2010

This has been a hot button issue for me for some time now. I'm so glad other people are aware of how the SA conducts its agenda. There are many places that you can donate to - it just takes a little bit more research.

I also need to know what a toonie is.

arbolita · December 2010

You can all thank Fishy's insult of my Knot Career for my GBCK.

crfische · December 2010

FTR, I loved KPS. I think it just made people think twice about what they posted to people because who knew there were so many people gettin' their feelers hurt out there, ya know?

Whatever. You'll be back tomorrow. That's how GBCK's work now.

They should be called GBCKFT.

Lala made my mom emo.

Hey. AMERICA. We need to come up with some cool names for our money. Get on it.

Toonie. I'm jealous that I can't say fun things like that. One time I tried to use "mates" instead of "friends" and Todd told me to stop
