I know this is a Youtube video, but this is too important to just be thrown into the Youtube thread.
For those who refuse to watch the video, it's a video about a teenage girl with cerebral palsy that needs 10, 000 dollars to go through a treatment that will help her possibly walk and get more control over her hands, which is really important if you have that condition.
Watch the video, favourite/like it to put it on the front page, and possibly donate it if you can. It might not be a donation to an organization dedicated to the condition, but it does go toward this fund which could ultimately change her life for the better.
In case this is deemed to not have discussion value, do you know anybody with cerebral palsy? What are your experiences?
I believe it shouldn't. Read the OP and remove your ignorance from this thread.
so just cause its a horrible video asking for donations or support, it should be special unlike the other hundred videos in that thread?
I hate how people judge a person by there writing it just goes to show how people are ignorant.
Horrible? It describes her condition, what she needs, and what the donation goes to. How is that horrible? Or are you one of those people that think everything is a lie and that in reality that girl in the wheelchair is 40 year old man who plays WoW all day and the grandma will use the charity money for her alcohol binge?
Also, this is not an ENTERTAINMENT video. It's not to make you giggle and it's not to make you get your brain teased. It is a request for assistance, even if it's just to spread it around.
edit: from the youtube thread itself:
This is a thread where you share that Youtube video that you know you were going to make a thread about. Enjoy having one neat space for that awesome killstreak, or hilarious cat.
I doubt a charity video falls under an awesome killstreak or a hilarious cat.

This is what i didn't want it to become from all the hate posts. your being like a fanboy when a person comments "this sucks" or something like that. then everyone starts raging on him. End of discussion don't reply back if you do you will just be wasting time.

What you just said makes no sense anyways so it is not like I could make an intelligent response.

That thread is for the random Youtube videos which otherwise threads would be made going "LOL LOOK AT THIS FUNNY PRANK".
This is a charity. This is a serious video. This is something that can provide discussion. If this was sponsored by a large company, it would be on the news, and on an official news site and it would use their video player. Would it suddenly be okay for a thread because then it isn't Youtube?
Don't kid yourself. Serious videos with serious discussion are permitted.
edit: Thanks, you also made me realize I replaced "thread" with "vid".
This is gonna raise so many questions of whether the cause is worth donating to... I would like to set the precedent by saying just donate if you want to, and stfu if you don't.

Do you know how many poor people are like that? They only mention her because she was featured by a parent, probably who paid. We have a poor family. Sorry, it's just my thoughts.
I'm from the "deal with it" generation.
Nature hand picked everyone, and a girl with diplegia spastica infantilis, is just another reason that nature sometimes ****s up.
And she needs 10K to be able to walk.. Ok, how much does it take for her to walk, think, work, earn money, etc.?
She has a PERMANENT damage to her brain due to a birth problem, causing an oxygen problem, and irreversibly damage parts of the brain.
She will never be able to live normal, without help, and without charity.
SO I won't donate, because "fixing" her doesn't help her, the TAXPAYER, and anything else she consumes, buit she doesn't give anything back to the people. Just take take take and take some more.
I hate takers, no matter if that is their fault or not.
If science can give her a normal life, I would, but science can't fix her.
I'm going to use the "If it was you, you wouldn't take that viewpoint."
I was just the best man at the wedding of an old friend of mine. He has cerebral palsy, though not as severe as Ashley. He's a successful, intelligent, and active person. If you had cerebral palsy, you'd have viewpoints. Even Ashley has viewpoints. One of the things you get with an handicap like that, though, are slightly more mature viewpoints.
One of my close friends has multiplex congenita arthrogryposis. It's an extremely rare condition. He also has had to grow and mature in ways that us "normals" don't, giving him what I'd call a more advanced set of views.
This isn't true for all who are physically handicapped, but ise true for quite a number of them. Considering that most people hold handicapped viewpoints like:

or:
Quote from Dantevortex »
The parents created her, they are responsible, not us.
I think I'd rather help my handicapped friends reach the top shelf than put up with that ********.
If I had this disease I wouldn't have viewpoints. read the wiki on what you do have when you get this.
And yes if it was a family member I would try to do my best.
But science cannot fix this girl. Nobody and nothing on this planet can cure her.
They can only pamper a little to get a basic motor function back. This costs 10K, and doesn't give her a normal life.
that "cure" is no cure.
This. Besides there are MILLIONS of children in Africa DYING to AIDS and HUNGER. Why would I help this kid who gets treated better than those POOR BLACK KIDS anyways?
Quoted for truth.
-----
Millions, no BILLIONS of people in general live below poverty level, they have no medical help, they have no money, nothing. They work with broken backs in the worst places possible, and literally die working, for nothing.
This girl is just one of the many that got born with any form of problem, and their parents could have had an insurance. They don't and now I'm not "nice" for not caring much.
I'd say deal with it, save some money, they can save up too. 10K is not that much.
The parents created her, they are responsible, not us.
Deal with it.
You are quite apathetic, but I have to agree.
10,000 USD could feed 10 children for 500 days in a starving country such as bangladesh, or help her get some of her basic motor function back. There are many levels of disabilities, and this one is major, and can never be treated.
There are many ethical concerns, but what's better? Giving 5000 orphans in africa a day's food, or helping someone in America a small amount. What happened to insurance?

OT:
I would donate if I could, but I can't. My dad doesn't really care about other people with defects, only his children with defects.
It was uploaded two hours ago or so, Youtube's view counter is slow.

edit: i hate to see her stay like that her whole life, i would donate but i am young,jobless and probably cant do anything but show feelings.

I can imagine that,
>watches video
>likes
> -Insert name here- Likes watching videos of girls with cerebral palsy...

The full quote is "Three hundred views and ... two thousand likes?" I was expressing that there were more likes than views.
