The explanation behind moral licensing is that people are often more concerned about looking good or feeling good rather than doing good.
What brilliant HH memeber posted that here a few days ago? Oh, yeah..me.

    Pro tip: stop any video at the point where a bucket enters a cistern.

    I've mentioned this a few times since the whole Ice challenge started....do people realize that they are showing HOW MUCH they DON'T want to donate by pumping water over themselves? If you really cared, you would donate and not post it to social media. It's like the guy who asks you if you want to donate $5 at a store and then hands you a clover to write your name on. I always laugh at him and say, if i wanted credit for donating money I wouldn't be doing it at the check stand. Keep your fucking clover.

    On a side note. Has anyone else found it comical that in a country bemoaned for waste, we're dumping one of the most precious assets in the world over our heads all in an effort to keep from donating a few bucks and to show the world how much you "support" a cause? How about we count up how much water has been wasted over the last 30 days and discuss what could have happened with everyone donating $5 and sending water tanks overseas. Dear lord our society is so fucking backwards and people continue to miss the point.

    I truly wonder if people who do the challenge feel good about themselves, and furthermore if they were provided a test immediately after their ALS challenge if they could answer the simplistic and basic questions about what ALS is, where they are in treatment, the effect of the disease, mortality rate, etc. I would wager 81% of the people doing the challenge have no clue what it is and how it effect the body. I've had multiple people mention it's for alzheimers......Wonder how many people have gone to alz.org and donated to the wrong cause.

    Obvious fix is obvious. That said, I bet the actual number is closer to 99%. Most of those fucktards probably have no idea who Lou Gehrig was. FYFMFE.

    Paying it forward in the fucking Starbucks line. (Yeah ... fuck you ... I love Starbucks)

    The other day someone "paid my coffee forward", I thanked the employee and started to drive off. She then said, aren't you going to pay it forward.

    I said ... no ... what's the point of the person's good deed in front of me if I then in turn have to pay for the guy behind me under pressure. I will accept this good deed ... and pay it forward in the future. She looked at me like I'm an asshole, which I am, so I drove off.

    For the record, I have paid it forward and continue to do so ... usually when in a Starbucks and the chic behind me has big tits or a tight ass.

    "paying it forward" at Starbucks isn't a good deed. A good deed is helping someone get a necessity they can't get otherwise. Buying some asshole a $5 coffee their fat ass doesn't need and who was fully prepared to buy it on their own anyway isn't praise worthy.

    The charity industry is just another way for people to earn money in this thing we call american free enterprise. The ice bucket thing is just their form of viral marketing. You guys that hate it sound like communists.

    The Ice Bucket Challenge is FS and jumped the shark two weeks ago. The ones who drum up fake outrage over the waste of water are just as fucking stupid. You cunts don't get mad at your neighbor for watering their lawn or at women for taking 30 minute showers.

    If you want to bash the Ice Bucket Challenge that's fine, but if you're going to bash 30 minute showers, I'm out.

    Should've been a pool of gasoline.

    Would've been more entertaining.

    I did the challenge because it was 90 degrees out and we had a cooler full of ice that we were looking to get rid of ... the donation part ... slipped my mind.

    I miss the days when you could just buy someone a banana at the Starbucks.
