Second: Almost but not quite what I meant. My point was that anyone/place can say whatever about themselves to look good, however, this doesn't mean it's true. What if/when LB finds out that "X" Charity was false? What will he do say gimme my crappy truck back? Not likely that will happen even under the best of circumstances. The point is simple "Give with personal intent rather than predisposed personal intent projected onto another that cannot ever truly be controlled by or do anything the same as you?"
LB isn't asking the charities. He's asking people for ideas about charities. You see the difference, yes? He's using meta for all the right reasons.
You appear to be using meta for several wrong ones.
What if tomorrow I get hit by a bus?
What if the world really IS flat?
What if the Rapture truly is going on RIGHT NOW?
LB _is_ making his personal intent known by choosing to make a strong, informed decision. Z, you're spouting flotsam and jetsam thinking, and I'm sorry, but that's the lamest way of thinking possible. Don't meta me, because I assure you -- I'm better at it than you are. I have done it, am doing it, will do it some more. On levels that (it sounds like) you're only just getting into. Meta is fine, because, like, you know, we're all just, you know, like, here, and stuff, and anything could happen at any time, like.
LB wants to get down to business, and that's laudable. And no, he won't ask for his truck back. That sounds like you projecting a bit. He's not trying to control anyone else, he isn't assuming he knows anything more than where he's sending his truck. If we all followed your advice on decision making...well, we'd never make a decision. What's the point? Because, hey man, it could all change tomorrow! Roll the dice!
Let me be direct. What is YOUR point? Be specific. No meta. How would YOU get rid of a truck that no one wanted to buy? You'd really roll a D6? Sorry, dude, it sounds like you've given up on decision-making in general if that is the case. And if that IS the case, I hope you don't vote, I hope you don't sign any petitions -- I hope you don't do anything that will affect anyone else. Because rolling the dice is the worst form of action and inaction at the same time.
