Asshole or not, he could have spent it on hookers and blow, bought a bunch of candy bars, bought a puppy and lined it's cage with the rest to soak up the piss and shit. There's a bunch of goofy stuff an asshole could do with 25 grand, giving it to charity seems like one of the least asshole-ish things.
25 grand is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. |

The Rock made $64.5 million in 2016. He recently made a huge deal about donating $25,000 to the flood victims in Texas. Let put this into perspective. $25,000 of $64.5 million is 0.04%. If an average person is making $60,000 per year, that is equivalent to them donating $23. A whole $23. Literally the size of a good eat out meal. I get donating but why brag about it? What a joke. http://www.tmz.com/2017/08/29/the-rock-kevin-hart-hurricane-harvey-relief-fund-donation/ So because he makes more he should give more? very liberal of you. 
people should be thankful he gave anything. |

There was a Little kid (9 or 10) who found his little toddler brother face down in the family swimming pool. The 10 year old pulled the toddler out and did cpr, saving his brothers life. When asked how he knew how to do that the 10 year old said he saw the rock do it in the movie "San Andreas"
The rock heard this and just made an offer to fly the kids and family up to the set of his movie so he could meet them and give them the royal treatment Real asshole

About 1.4%. So basically 37x what the Rock did. If the income tax was 10% across the board and the Rock pays $6.5 million in taxes and you pay $6,500 in taxes, you paid just as much as him? This must be Common Core math. The Rock has paid enough in taxes to keep the Coast Guard floating in Houston. I bought them a MRE. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
No what you learned is you think just like the left does. He makes more so he should give more. He used his celebrity status and donated 25k dollars, which likely caused other people to donate as well. 25k is a lot of money, I don't care how rich you are, 25k is 25k. Wow. I can't hardly push through this thread for all the straw men clogging up every post. OP doesn't like someone making a spectacle of their giving. Big deal. I don't either. If you want to disagree with OP because you don't think The Rock was being an attention whore, have at it. But at least hate on him for what he said, not hate on him for what he didn't. |

BTW, when you give and publicly declare it, you're not doing it from the goodness of your heart. Instead you're doing it for public adoration, admiration and gain. No brownie points from Hay-Seuss.
When you give anonymously, that is from the heart. Only you, the Creator and maybe the recipient knows. |

I think part of his "bragging" is getting more celebrities to match the donation. Kinda like the ice bucket challenge. You do it, then show it and challenge somebody else to do it as well.

Is this a serious thread?
25K is still a lot of money and I'm sure he donates to other charities. Also he was probably responding to the Kevin Hart challenge for celebs to donate $25k Only thing is I've heard donating to the Red Cross doesn't mean the money you donated actually goes to that disaster but to a general fund or maybe that's the United Way |

"Yeah, you donated a lot...BUT compared to your GDP, it's less than Lichtenstein!" The problem with this BS is that percentages don't help people...and helping people, not heaping praise upon yourself via some arithmetic, is supposed to be the goal. The Rock's $25,000 will help more than my $2,500. A person that just lost their house/cars/job doesn't give a damn what the % of income/gdp was. Completely irrelevant. I'm guessing God doesn't care either. |
