How am I being irreverent? I'm backing the OP's statement.

If that is the case then how did they raise over 100 million dollars from the ice bucket challenge alone?.

I think you guys need to take a step back and stop being salty at each other. Fuck arguing, who has got time for that?

Not sure how you can say people don't donate when the previous challenge raised over $100M. Just a shame that it doesn't all go into research instead most of it's lost due to taxes and other
corporate funding which is stupid. World is run by greedy fucks. The rich get richer.
These little challenges help to get it out in the open, raise awareness. I guarantee most people had never heard of ALS until it became a trend and "celebrities" started joining in.
Anyway, each to their own. I don't take part either.
I didn't know about ALS until the 2014 challenge, seen the videos popping up on Youtube one day and then I looked into it and I was like oh thats cool.
So I have to agree 100% with you on that it raises awareness considering these challenge made me aware of ALS.

Do you support Aids? Or do you wanna do the challenge? If you don't do the challenge then we will all die of aids.

To the people saying it's useless;
How many of you knew about ALS before the challenge?
How many of you knew about ALS after the challenge?
How many people donated before the challenge?
How many people donated after the challenge?

I think you counted wrong considering you only have 2 friends.

Something lateral sclerosis. I did a project on this in my Psychology class.
You sound like a fucking idiot right now. My home state is in a serious drought right now, and it's getting pretty bad. We get hefty fines for going over the water limit (which is LOW).
I get what you're trying to say, but I think you don't realize water wasting actually is an issue. Not that the ALS ice water challenge is really that big of a deal... I'm not over here shaming anyone for "water wasting" when they participate in it. But I do think you need to reshape the way you view water conservation.
