This is why we do startups, right guys?

It does seem like having the time and money to help more than just family and friends is one of the great luxuries wealth brings.

This was a great thing for him to do but I am a bit disturbed that it was made public. I think that such acts of charity should remain private and not aired to everyone- gives the donor more of an opportunity to become arrogant.

Oh, no.

People need to know that these things happen, that there are people out there like this. It's inspiring.

Who gives a fuck if the dude is arrogant or feeding his ego (assuming that is even true)?

He's feeding 300 homeless people as well.

I have no comment that an act of charity is reported with such ego, but this line kills me:

The kids each got a toy and some treats.

Am I the only one that finds it completely unacceptable that we have children eating at a charitable kitchen in this day and age? Something is definitely wrong with all of us.

Why would you consider to be "acceptable" to have adults in need of private charity, but not children? What about teenagers?

If you are going to lecture us, at least don't do it using relative morality.

I would consider it "acceptable", because an adult certainly bares a certain level of responsibility for his/her actions, whereas a child is more a victim of circumstance, really.

It was just a rant, and certainly not a lecture (I include myself as part of the problem). I don't have a solution, but I can't help but put my son in the soup kitchen line with a toy truck and feel that there is anything just about that.

What if the child is the son of the adult that is failing with his/her responsibility?

- Should we take the child away of the adult?

- Should we let the adult have an incentive for having more kids, knowing that the children will always have someone that will be willing or obliged to help and provide?

You don't have a solution. Me neither. Because there is none.

You can't stop irresponsible adults of having kids. You can't multiply wealth infinitely and guarantee that everyone will always have a baseline of resources to live by. Heck, even if you wanted to provide a better life for a child that is a "victim of circumstance", you'll have to get the parent's (or legal guardian's) consent.

What an awesome thing to do. He's the man.

Def getting some karma for that, glad to hear of good being done.

I'm sure the dog enjoyed his bone.
