They should just pay more tax now and let the democracy decide how to spend our money. --- but whatever /punk out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 which charity? it better not be something stupid. Lucas' charitable focus is education, he already has his own foundation, so some of the cash will probably go there, and to other organizations as well: http://www.edutopia.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remy marathe Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 why would anyone have a problem with this? leave it to the internet to find fault in donating millions to a fucking charitable cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 What a waste -- as long as we have a monetary system, there will always be charities. Throwing money at charities to make the world better solves nothing in the long term. Putting that kind of money towards sustainable, long term solutions is what should have been done. why would anyone have a problem with this? leave it to the internet to find fault in donating millions to a fucking charitable cause. Charities are built into our current monetary social system. Don't you want to eliminate charities altogether? Charities are a sign that there are problems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpAMbpQ8J7g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 there are always going to be problems. stop being so idealistic. it's a good, admirable move. try and get out of your mind lock mentality -- I can't go any further than what I've posted for you. If you want further info on what I'm saying, simply watch the video I posted. It's dangerous to self induce "learned-helplessness" which your post gives off -- "there are always going to be problems". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 there are always going to be problems. stop being so idealistic. it's a good, admirable move. I like Bread, he's always seemed a genuinely decent guy. But people with billions in the bank can't do right for doing wrong. Sit on it and they're bloated greedy fucks, give any of it away and they're promoting 'learned helplessness' and perpetuating poverty and powerlessness. If people like George Lucas choose to donate any of their fortune (which they're under absolutely no obgligation whatsoever to), then good on them. What have I or any of you ever truly done in our own much more modest ways? And I agree with the OP. Lucas gave me Star Wars, which I'll love until the day I die. we couldn't give the boc subforum away. The most beneficent thing to do would be to keep it contained within this website for eternity.

awepittance Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 remember Lucas only directed a New Hope and the new trilogy. He did not direct Return of the Jedi or Empire. also one of his biggest pet projects after Star Wars was his producing Howard the Duck, one of the most abominable movie adaptations of all time. The movie is one long cringe his talent was fleeting at best, unless you consider milking the american public on toy sales talented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
