what do you think of bracelets that arent livestrong?

[rudeguy]

I have been seriously considering getting one of these. The price obviously isnt the issue, I am just not sure about copying someone's idea like that. What do you guys think?

I don't like the concept really. donating is cool, but wristbands are kind of. i dont know, weird.

 

[Kelvrick]

Err, just donate. Why do you wanna wear somethin like that?

i feel the same way, donate if you want to donate but there no need to show off the fact that you donated

 

[n0cmonkey]

Are those bands adjustable in size?

They're called awareness bracelets for a reason. :roll:

How would someone know if and/or how much you donated? It's not even the point.

I donate plenty, the $5 wont do much anyways. I wouldnt mind bringing more awareness though. That and a lot of diabetics hide it, or are ashamed for some reason. I work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and I think this might be a good ice breaker to get people to talk. (I basically help newly diagnosed parents deal with the changes. Its also my job to try to recruit people for my local chapter.)

i dont like the idea of getting a bracelet for donating, which it seems like a reason a lot of the lance armstrong ones are being worn...like look at me i donated..

but just for the knowedge its all good, i would rather just talk to people then wear a bracelet though...i work in spinal cord injury and i would never wear a spinal cords dont heal themselves wristband, but I will def. talk to anyone who I think would be interested in it

 

[bigdog1218]

I think the whole awareness excuse is total bull. Its the new fad, and this is getting ridiculous. Its going to get to a point where people are expecting to recieve something in return for every donation, which is totally retarded because its a donation. If your're so concerned about that cause why don't you donate time and money to it instead of spending $5 on a braclet, showing it off and making pretend you care.

Anything not livestrong is aweosme since lance is such a deuche bag. His wife fing waited for him while he was in cancer agrred to have is baby from frozen sperm from before his cancer and all that then he divorces her. Bah

If you bought and wore the awarness band, people would ask what it is for. Then you can inform them about spinal cords.

I don't like the idea of "look at me! I donated" either, but since you do know about spinal cords, you can have a conversation with people.

 

[Jassi]

Everyone know what they are now and its not a conversation stopper anymore. I will buy one that is blue and says "Stupidity is a disease". Thats what requires awareness.

It's actually starting to annoy me when I see people wearing these stupid "trendy" bands. :|

 

[Hammerman]

Yeah, live strong, divorce your wife after she hangs with you throught thick and thin with all your cancer, and start dating Cheryl Crow. Be the pro athlete and act like a baby.

 

[Hammerman]

Hey Jules Maximus...you joined up one day after me in 2003!!!! What are the odds of two posts being next to each other that joined virtually the same day?
