probably that his friends have strange names lol
I thought the exact same thing wtf
Where I grew up, everyone goes by nicknames. So I'm sure they thought nothing of it. Pretty common (in my experience at least) that south side of Chicago kids never use regular names.

To their defense, why would they? lol
It's good to know you are a terrible person.
So you could give two shits. How much exactly is two shits? Could you give more than two shits?
The reason ice is used is it's meant to simulate the crippling stabbing pain people who suffer from ALS experience.
He's not a terrible person, he just doesn't agree with the attention the cause is getting. While I personally don't agree with him and think he's slightly misinformed, that doesn't make him a terrible person. Perhaps he is/was a bit too blunt in his statement though.
I think that was the most informative post I've read on this whole thing, thank youSo you could give two shits. How much exactly is two shits? Could you give more than two shits?

I can understand not wanting to donate to a cause which you don't support, but to challenge people's motives as being purely self-centric for donating is both cynical and a bit insulting. Some people truly sympathise and wish to raise money/awareness for ALS and other motor neuron diseases.
Also, while I agree that this doesn't affect a large portion of the population, research into ALS and the development of a cure will have massive downstream effects in treating Parkinson's, muscular dystrophies, multiple sclerosis and other related motor neuron diseases. Not only that, but the pharmaco knowledge garnered from this research could potentially open up many new drug targets for treatment of mental disorders including schizophrenia and depression.
Personally I would prefer to donate my money to a homeless shelter, or to a charity helping struggling families/under privileged children. However, I won't deny that this is a worthy cause simply because the disease is rare (all other downstream effects ignored).

The problem is only 27% of the money donated goes toward actual research. Most of it goes towards public education, with a little going toward helping the families/communities who already deal with it. Personally I wish they spent a little more on research and less on public education, I feel its more important for researchers to know more about ALS than it is the public.So you could give two shits.

There so needs to be a Killer Frost video to "Let it Go"...Good shit. Props for donating as well. A lot of people tend to overlook that part of what the challenge is about.
I trust your new found affinity for ice will steer your heart in the right direction character wise.
