The Liestrong(TM) Temple of Awareness

[andy1234]

hahahahahaha!!

as yet I'm still to see any evidence that the moula that Liestrong accumulates actually goes towards saving anyone's life.
feel free to provide this missing evidence...

My comments are about charities in general, not Livestrong.
Is that too much to take on board!!!!!

For the Mennonites here, and people without a real life, these hookers and party are a real issue.
Repeating "hookers" and "strippers" in nearly every post doesn't make them any worse.

It's sad when someones vocabulary is limited to hookers, strippers and Lance.

The girls prefer to be called "courtesans". Some are OK with being called "escorts". But never a hooker.

But being that the building is decorated with crime-scene tape, it seems appropriate.

Still waiting to see how much Cisco donated to livestrong.

 

[Semper Fidelis]

A charity has a responsibility to be managed like an effective business.
Maximising contributions is no different than maximising investment.

It is very hard for me to agree with that. I think the #1 thing on the list of things to do is help cancer sufferers. Not salaries and plush office space. That is just my opinion.

 

[Oldman]

How cool is that, they have a stripper pole right in the middle of the office!

Looks like they like the girthier dancers, too. Those are some big poles!

 

[Benotti69]

Im not attacking you.
You need the validation of a forum that largely agrees with you.
Thats fine, but it doesn't make you right.

you accused me of ranting, you made an assertion about my mentality and that i also lacked confidence.

the criticism and OP of this thread is the Lie$trong offices, which appear extremely ostentatious for a business that professes to be a charity in aid of cancer and it's 28 million victims.

you have tried to defend Lie$trong it by saying it is good business practice and then denied you were defending them, now you claim, 51 posts in to be talking about charities in general where as everyone else is still talking about the OP.

There is businesslike. Then there's over-the-top. The temple of Lance is not a professional office. It is a shrine.

I'll be honest with you. It doesnt look that much different to where I work

Uhm, is it where you work?

 

[andy1234]

Uhm, is it where you work?

It would be one hell of a commute...

What do you think the typical offices of a charity should look like?

I know they are NOT supposed to look like this

Im defending one element of the Livestrong business, not the 27 YOU brought up. In order to explain my position I related it to charities in general.

I cant guide you through this whole discussion again, just because you didn't get it the first time around.

 

[MacRoadie]

These guys also had to construct an elaborate "office" to convince others of the legitimacy of THEIR "operation" too...

 

[Hugh Januss]

One can work from anywhere in the computer age. If they need to see you in person they could just send the jet.

I kid I kid.

 

[Bag_O_Wallet]

Like donations aren't being spent on decor.

I do a actually split my time between the US and the UK, so if you could organise that jet to pick me up, I will split any coke and hookers I find down the back of the seats.

27 wow, i might get a black t-shirt with a yellow 27 on it.

no need for the guide.

you argued that you didn't have a problem, which has been obvious, with their office in all its modern luxury and this it was the business way to do business.

I do have a problem when a charity spends its donations on such opulence.

First point is that before they moved in to their new offices they had the use of the old offices for free.

Secondly -the plush new offices appear to be used to woooo people as you say to donate to the "Livestrong business".

There is no such charity as Livestrong, the name of the charity is the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
It seems you have fallen for one of the main objectives of the "Livestrong business".

I've been to the Médecins sans Frontières offices, they look like a charities offices should. Nice, but functional.

Then again I don't think they are big on awareness.

Yes I understand that you etal say that Livestrong should not have the things it has. I have no issue with that because I don't have parameters to frame the debate within. You are just telling me what it shouldn't be, but a baseline is necessary or you just look like you are whining for the sake of whining Mr. Radio.

In addition, that is not a stripper pole. The poles are much thinner; the dancers slither up the poles to the ceiling and then slide back down upside down until they reach the floor. They must wrap there legs around them several times and this would not be possible with a large diameter pole like the one shown. Of my many businesses I happen to own a strip club, so please do not question my authority on this subject.
