HE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE! It's the 2nd time he made negative comments. Who is he to criticize what I do?

Any act of charity and/or kindness is always appropriate. Everyone has their own particular causes, and the right to support those causes. This should be a celebration, not an argument. AB - You have a right to your opinion, but it should be deleted from this thread and posted elsewhere.

Thank You to all who donate to charitible causes, regardless of their nature.

I am overjoyed to see Gina doing well. Bless you, Gino. Do NOT lose any sleep over this.

I'm not disagreeing...just because someone has the right to say or do something, does that mean it is the right thing to say or do it? Don't belittle the acts of kindness and generosity in your life by comparing it to others. Words are just words. people make negative comments all the time, dont let it bother you.

Typical liberal. Personally I couldn't have done it if I wanted to for lack of funds. True, there are more pressing things the money could have gone to. The fact is Gino, it IS your money. Do what you want and don't feel bad.
AB, sometimes you need to keep your thoughts to yourself.

Bottom line.......
This whole subject was started by Gino and his telling his "new story" about his experience with this cat.
Someone else didn't start it by giving their "opinion", and he didn't ask for any.
I could go on, but will keep it short.............
I think it's time we give the German a break and give the weekly stupid trophy to a Canadian.

Gino, do NOT lose any more sleep over this guy

Could the money have gone to other things, absolutly. I didn't only do this for Gina, I did it for myself. It made me feel good to do it. The day I saw Gina nearly broken in half, trying to crawl away with the front half of her body and the rear half just dragging it broke my heart. I have spent my life avoiding cats due to how deathly allergic I am. I have been in the hospital no less then 20 times for reactions to cats (this was by far the worst reaction). When I saw how scared and how hurt she was, nothing else mattered at that time but helping her. When I first got involved, did I know what i was in for, absoliutly not! Had I known, would I have still gone forward... Probably!
So to say I did this for a cat, is really minimalizing the whole situation. It made me feel good to do it. From the hundreds of posts, letters, emails from people all over the place I can see that it made a lot of other people feel good also.

PS
IS minimalizing a word?? If not it should be!

Gino sorry that you felt that I offending you and all the others on this form, it was never meant to offend anybody. I don't know Gino except from what I have read on here and there has always been nothing but great things said about him. I never said how you should spend your money, I said that it is your business what you do with it. All I did was respond to a post that you had. Does that make me a fu..ing scumbag for giving my opinion, obviously with many of the members here that know you, it does. Many have said, just what have I done for others, the answer is as much as I can afford to do as I am not a wealthy person but do try to help others when I can. I try to help many seniors and disabled around where I live by cleaning their snow for them every time it snows and that has been a lot this year. I offer to drive them where ever they need to go, if they want a ride and let them know that I am there for them if they need anything. I try to help those in need if I can and have given to charity and so on but like I said I am not wealthy and am limited in what I can give in money but try to help in other ways that don't cost money. If you are on the street and down and out and come to me for some money to get a coffee, I always make sure I would give them more then just for a coffee and that is what I try to do in life as well as other things I do. What I said was just my opinion and I knew that I would get crucified for saying anything about Gino and Gina but all I did was state my opinion on this topic. Why should anybody take offence to that, since when is it a crime to state your feeling and respond to a post, isn't that a big part of what OSO is all about. Many don't know what I have done for others because I feel that it isn't necessary for me to tell anyone what I have done and who would care anyways. Some of you have already drawn your own opinion of me without knowing me which is OK as we all have are opinions and we all have the right to stated them, I thought. Gino I can't beleive that you lost some sleep over my post as it was not an attack on you or anyone else and I did say that it was very commendable, what you have done and for Gina. To those who have condemned me and want me poofed for stating my opinion on this form, so be it, it is your opinion. I make no apology for saying what I think about this issue on the OSO form.

I think it was an atack against GINA, and reading your reply now ,,hey i just think u would let a cat or an other animal rather die then helping it ???? Thats how your post's come over !!! I think u are a graet person aswell for helping others ,,but why would u not help an animal ,,IF U CAN ?
We are the ones destroying there world not vise versa !!
So isn't it great if some of us give back something to the nature on this world ?
In my opinion ,if somebody doesn't give a chit about animals he does not give a chit about LIFE ?!

You are jumping on Gino over spending a few grand on a saving a kitten?? Then you need to jump all over just about every single member here for spending that amount in boat gas in a weekend, for new props, even on buying a boat.. you know how many families you could feed if you sold YOUR boat?? Why not call out haggin or dave scott for spending millions on boat racing?? Granted they each donate 10X more per year than most of us make to help others and have hearts of gold. I would be willing to bet that more than a few of members here have blown a few grand in a night at a strip club. Hell if I were Gino I would drive down to Dunn and have a diamond collar made for the cat just to spite your azz. I would be willing to bet Gino has done more to help people this week than you have all year..Take your negativity and stick it up your "i'm better than you" azz
