You've clearly not met enough strippers then.

Skandar Akbar said: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.
Dr. Maserati said: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".

Race Radio said:It appears you categorize anything you disagree with, or preferred not talked about, as whining.
I doubt it is debate you are interested in as most of your posts are insults, not debate. If you are looking for parameters to frame the debate then a good example are Livestrong travel expenses. In the combined audit report of the livestrong family of charities the 2009 travel expenses total almost $2 million ($1,922,995). For comparison, the National Cancer Coalition, with 5 times as much money raised only claimed $108,559 in travel expenses.
Glenn_Wilson said:To be totally fair it was Race Radio who brought up the off topic Striper Poles. It was the Akbar who pointed out the issues with using that Iron Square Tube as a striper pole would be physically impossible.
Race Radio said:When the thread is about Armstrong stripper poles are always on topic.

andy1234 said:Lets face it, if the office looked like a sh**hole, then people would say Armstrong is fleecing the company for his own ends and he won't even use funds for a decent office.
The new office is just a typical "corporate America". You will find the same setup in a thousand locations.
The organisation might be bent, but concentrate on that, not the perfectly legitimate business practices.

BotanyBay said:Susan just edited-out a bunch of my images for being "off-topic" images. Even though I use them to illustrate on-topic points (usually). So I was just teasing her.
Seriously, do you folks hate my use of imagery? I was blown-away to hear that the mods have gotten a lot of complaints. Apparently they don't think I treat the topic seriously enough when I use imagery. I just like humor and visual language.
Dr. Maserati said:Why should people donate to a charity to fund a "corporate America" office building when their old offices were not costing them anything?
To the highlighted - what does that mean? It is not a business, it is a charity.
Hugh Januss said:A "lot of complaints" probably means Polish, Flicker, Cobblestoned and Andy 1234.![]()

andy1234 said:Let me ask you a question, how do you think a charity should be run differently than an equivalent sized corporate?
Should the staff be paid less?
Should the management be paid less?
Should they invest less in their unfrastructure?
Genuine question...

AnythingButKestrel said:How we would know without an open ledger? The macro-bucket annual report makes it nearly impossible (by design) to discern where the money is actually going.
MD said:Andy
Where are the numbers you claim were donated to livestrong because of the appeal the office has ?
You threw it out there now back it up with some numbers.
Genuine answer - people should be compensated appropriatley, and work in a safe and healthy environment.andy1234 said:Let me ask you a question, how do you think a charity should be run differently than an equivalent sized corporate?

JMBeaushrimp said:I'd say they're way overspending for that type of UNFRASTRUCTURE...
What the hell's unfrastructure, anyway?
andy1234 said:Its like an infrastructure, just spelt badly.
Before we go any further, does anyone know what they actually spent on their new unfrastructure?
