Ice Bucket Challenge

Yeah some people will think the west is even more insane than they do now. Wars are being fought over water in some countries right now cause they know its worth and here these western modern nuff nuffs are out pouring the stuff down the drain.

Its all ok though; "Really, because if it stops raining, we can just buy it in bottles"!

Didnt know it was for a charity,I thought it was just some internet fad,I should read more.
Thats pretty cool a 100 million is massive.

Charity is always a sticky wicket, is it doing what it says on the tin or is it lining some greedy cunts pocket? I think the answer in most cases is the later. Playing on people's vanity is a good way of extracting a few quid though. Waste of water? Meh.......we sorted out the worlds water problems 20 years ago and every year since didnt we?

I dont know about the world but we havent sorted it here yet. Exorbitant fees for getting it into farms inland via irrigation they pay through the nose they are cutting the fruit trees down now cant compete with China.
Our government are stupid regarding water always have been. We all used to have tanks on the sides of our houses in the 50's and 60's the cock heads made them illegal to have in residential areas so out they all came. Then we got drought for 7 years with the El Nino weather pattern so they said get tanks for your gardens etc, so back they came. Then they spent billions on a desalination plant here because the dams were at less than 30% for all those years. They finished building the plant and it hasnt stopped raining since and not one liter has been pumped from the place but it still needs upkeep and paying off, so now the water rates and state taxes are skyrocketing to pay for it.

In this country, you can be arrested for collecting rain water.
