Volunteer Rates Hit All-Time Low
People between the ages of 35 to 44 were most likely to give back to their communities. Rates were lowest among 20 to 24 year olds, confirming a number of theories that millennials aren’t all that interested in improving the world around them.
Not talking about money. I'm talking time. Conservatives give money so they don't feel as guilty.

Unfortunately I am not able to write off my donations to the NRA, I wonder if I can write off my ammo expenses when volunteering at new shooter events.

I would love for you to find links showing how democrats are more likely to donate time. Time of course is less valuable to charitable organizations. It cannot be turned into food or shelter or clothing.

I'll save you the effort, you won't be able to quantify time donated by democrats or conservatives. All you have is wild speculation while it is easy to quantify how republicans give more money to charities than democrats.

Thanks for playing, have a nice day.

Do you have any numbers on volunteerism to base that on?

I'm as "white" as they come; and, I'm proud of being white. OTOH: storm front is just nasty and, I'm being real nice. I DON'T like their beliefs in race "purity". In other words; I'd MUCH rather live in an area that's mostly "Black" IF they're decent people than an area filled with meth head PWT losers.

Frankly, I don't think this forum tips all that much to the right, anyway; I think it's pretty evenly balanced.
The amount of overall posters may be balanced(although I would say even that leans conservative), but post count/activity is not. Those who post the most, start the most threads lean heavily conservative or right wing in nature.
