The Lobby is not for serious debates, there are other areas for those types of conversations. It is more for relaxed chatting or discussing things that don't fit elsewhere. Politics, religion and philosophy have their own place on the site

    Giving Tuesday

    What's this all about?

    Is this something new?

    Does anybody here pay any attention to "Giving Tuesday", which is, apparently, the day after "Cyber Monday" after "Black Friday".....

    OK, so I found this....

    A Global Day of Giving

    #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.

    Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

    One of the best ways to get involved is in your own community. We've created a directory to help you find organizations, charities, events and more in your own community.

      Who invented that?

      Seems like it would be smarter to make the giving day on Thanksgiving, or at least BEFORE everyone spent all their money on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

        Yeah, but that doesn't fly well in our consumer-driven society. Hey, at least it's something.

          Looks like a way to assuage consumer guilt, to me.

              Yeah, and help shoppers not feel so guilty, too.

                      I almost typed that you were going to say "I know".
