Water that goes to drains or into the local watertable goes back into circulation. Water that evaporates goes elsewhere.

Not what I mean at all.
If you're so worried about water conservation, do something about it and join an activist group or something. Rather than complain about kids dumping water on the ground.

Water that evaporates goes back into circulation as well. What did you think? It just drifts off into space?

I may already be doing something, for all you know...and tell me how me attempting to bring awareness to water use through "complaining" is any different than someone dumping ice on their head for a disease? It may raise money, but how much more effective would it be if those hundreds of thousands of people did something directly for the disease?

Wow, you can't be serious...because rain that falls over a completely different part of the landscape, likely not over another city due to simple geography, is relevant for municipal water supplies? What about rain that falls over the ocean, does that also go back into circulation?

Yeah, $30 million vs $0.1 million over the same time frame last year - clearly extremely ineffective .

Circulation is a planetary thing. There aren't invisible lines dividing it. The water always goes back into circulation. Doesn't matter if it rains exactly where it came from. It's still back in circulation. Eventually that water will make it's way back. There's an ebb & flow to it. You must've slept through science growing up.

Seriously? If you were do something to conserve water already, you'd likely realize that a few scattered individuals dumping water on themselves is the least of earth's water issues.

I already explained that, while it might not be the best way to go about it..it is raising attention and awareness of the intended purpose.

I'm not saying they're they're doing the best and most responsible thing, but they're bringing smiles and hope to individuals in dark times. (ALS victims) Which is the goal.
And for all you know, they might BE doing more.

My only exposure to this has been through gifs in the funnies thread. There was one where they dropped a big storage tub of water on someone from a treehouse instead of dumping it out. So stupid.

I just don't understand donations to help research on certain illnesses. Like what exactly does the money go to, petri dishes and microscopes? Fat salaries for scientists and doctors?
And does this money ever actually help find a cure?

Yes. For charities/orgs that support research, that is exactly what the money helps pay for. Research is expensive.

Quote:
A charity stunt that has grown into a social media phenomenon went terribly wrong for four Kentucky firefighters when a fire truck's ladder got too close to a power line after they dumped water on college students who were taking part in an "ice bucket challenge."
Campbellsville Police Chief Tim Hazlette said the power line was never touched Thursday morning, but it carried such a high voltage that it was able to energize the ladder truck, shocking the firefighters.
The two in the bucket were at a hospital burn unit early Friday. One was in critical condition and the other was in fair condition, the hospital said. The other firefighters were treated and released.
. . .
Bull shit. I'm a lineman and I can tell you that a ladder truck can't reach a transmission line(extremely high voltage). It could however reach a distribution line which is still very high voltage(7,200 volts up to 19,900 volts) and the electricity from a distribution line can only make a "jump" of just inches and if they were only inches away you can just say they might as well been touching it. They make it sound like they were a good bit away and it jumped...bull shit
-------------------- Nothing I write on Shroomery's message boards or in private messages are true. I am fucking crazy and I make all this shit up because I can. Why would anyone want Mac or Windows? Windows never quits shoving updates down your throat and Mac is just so expensive for the same exact hardware that's in a PC. Go Linux.
