Anonymous Coward User ID: 36998602 United States 05/19/2013 12:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would set up a fully furnished and equipped, soup Kitchen. I would have plenty of good plain foods to cook from scratch to save money. A good stockpile of staples, ready to go in our community for tough times ahead. I would encourage donations as well and call this first of many...The Stone Soup Kitchen. Stone Soup is what the group ate when everyone only had a little...but they put it together and they all ate well. People would be encouraged to add to the stockpile, and all would be encouraged to join in every month for a community soup kitchen experience as we prepare and practice to help each other. It is not a food bank. I think the idea would catch on in many communities and be of great help in emergencies. It would rely on volunteers and older retired cooks like me. It would have nothing to do with any church. No preaching. Just a strong sturdy building able to feed a lot of people in an emergency. Every town needs at least one. The first one will be in my town. |

Takes about 40k for the loader.....40k for components.....20k for licencing, advertising and a shop to work out of ..... Yup that's what I would do with it. After getting started it would take about 5 years before you could seriously make enough money to do actual good. Personally I've always been fond of Scottish Rite Hospital....I've seen them take cripples and have them up and walking in a year. Takes a lot of donations to keep that place running... |

Have been operating a rescue sanctuary for all sorts of animals but mostly dogs for 18yrs. Mostly with my own money. Some donations. I also help other pet owners keep their dogs in their homes by teaching them and fixing the problems that lend themselves to people wanting to give up their dogs. Their are no bad dogs just bad owners. Uneducated owners and stupid owners. Sorry but true. What I have choosen to do with my life might not be Earth Changeing or World changeing on a grand scale but I guess its somthing. Could always use some extra help. Money makes my little world go around. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6340409 A big thankyou from me, I love and treasure people like you. Thanks for that! You know its really hard some days when you see what goes on with animals at the hands of Humans. I would like to just bash a few peoples heads in some times so instead I come to GLP and take my frustrations out on some Stupid Unsuspecting Moron on this site. LOL I always feel better after the fact. Sorry to all the unsuspecting Morons around here. Tomorrows a whole new day! |

What theme did you have in mind for your film(s)? Will the films themselves do anything to change the world? It will bring satisfaction to many a dissatisfied artist in the industry. The films themselves will bring wonder and a plethora of other emotions to those who watch them. I am not trying to change the world through pretention. I am trying to change the world through passion and satisfaction of a job well-enjoyed and well-done. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 38806820 Brazil 05/19/2013 01:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is an interplanetary game in development which will bring questions about the Elite, Greed, and the Society. The game environment is in the near future, when the AI is developed enough to replace all human workforce. What the Elite will do by then? Use the machines to work for the humanity, or enslave the humanity to work for the machines? We all know the answer. People will be able to walk around space stations, and fly over an entire galaxy, fighting against dominant machines. But this game then brings other related issues which will try to show to the player how our entire society is wrong. The game will come together with a website where questions like "what can we do to make this world better?", open for discussions, and with rankings to bring the best ideas to the top. Your post is most probably a joke, but just in case, who knows, other rich person may see this and decide to help. Here is one project which I believe would make real good use of $100k.
