Who are you replying to?

some who are only there to feel good about what they are doing, then get the hell out of dodge.

I was replying to this. The way I see it, good is good no matter the motivation behind the intent. Some billionaire wants to donate to the unfortunate to get a tax break is still money going towards a good purpose right? Even if you go to help just so you can brag and claim you have an interest in humanitarian movements, you will still be doing the right thing if you roll up your sleeves and do something that needs to be done.
