Q: I don't need a flashlight, can I donate my points to hungry children ?
If there is a trustworthy organization that could be supported, then instead of of me getting a flashlight, perhaps a hungry child could have some vegetables ?
Not sure what the value of the flashlights are, but I am sure they could fund a small bag of rice.
Who would chip in their points if the site could make us believe they actually went and gave some food or other charitable stuff for those who need it.
We should petition for an extra option as 'donating points to the needy'.
icnif77:
On the other side, 'points' here can't be too 'useful'. Can you imagine, frequency of the posts (and Q)
here, if you could exchange it for 'beer or two per week?'
Vyborg:
I can. I would never come here again, considering the amount of nonsense I would have to dig my way through.
Yeah they can have mine too.
But you forget one thing , This is China so what are the odds of 1 this happening and 2 the points that are taken are used for that purpose
belle_watson:
good question, cheri amour, but I don't think that you will get a good and honest answer to this.
I've just realised that my new coat from last winter has gone. It was a deluxe coat and one very much needed in north west Xinjiang. And now I recall someone (Devil?) redeemed their points for a cool new coat and perhaps that's something I could do. However, the above suggestion is a beauty and I'd be delighted if something could come of it. I'd be in it in a shot.
What of it, Admin?
It would be a paradigm for an expat website. We donate our points and we can help those truly in need - food (can be according to the region where the posters are located), educational materials (again, by region), a psychiatrist for Vicky (only Shanghai posters and White Knights)....

and forgive me, sex toys for all of the overtestosteroned males around here with all of these units and sizes and centimeters questions.

and dildos for all the bored housewives and frustrated young women...
Scandinavian:
bored housewives don't need dildos, I am chocked Ted hasn't stepped in this thread yet.
mArtiAn:
I think he's busy somewhere with one of the bored housewives.
I love idea and will be fully onboard once I have reached my dream and obtained the universal adapter...
F**k the poor, donate your points to me, I want two flashlights. Not a popular idea? Ok, well then yes, i'm on board. Throwing a pittance at the world's poor is, afterall, practically tradition. LET'S DO SOME GOOD!
There is no poor people in China. great China is 2nd biggest economy, have own rocket science and aircraft carrier. has no.1 supercomputer. How can have some poor people here ? I do not believe this SCAM, send me my free jacket please ! (red one, for my wife 
Why do hungry children need flashlights?
Scandinavian:
That is an excellent question.
I guess if you're hungry enough, eating a flashlight is better than no eating anything. Or maybe the idea is to have an option on the "Redeem Points" section where you instead of getting stuff could "Donate Points to the Hungry"
