Season's Givings?

DevanJedi asks: "Many people around the world plan their charitable giving around this time of the year, for religious, tax or other similarly benevolent reasons. As a geek who spends an inordinate amount of time around his computer, I have compiled a list of entities that have made my geek life easier, in the past year. Which other projects does Slashdot believe to be worthy of praise, money, recognition, developer time or general applause?"

    Or you can let Darwinism work it's magic and let them die off. Donating to a food bank is rewarding lazy people for not working.

    What about the Salvation Army social worker who claims that his supervisor harassed him because he is gay and Jewish and then fired him when he complained?

    WTF is a jew doing in a christian organization? Do you expect the Salvation Army to be open to muslims and satanists too?

    That's a lie. I've volunteered at the food bank and they have strict policies about that stuff, and besides, most people who volunteer or work at a food bank really do care about the community.

    You should be ashamed for even mentioning such a rare occurance and deterring people from helping others.
