This can't surprise anyone. I mean, Tank gets paid for it but anyone who voluntarily hangs out with other people's middle school aged kids has to be mentally or emotionally defective or maybe both

There are a lot of good people who volunteer and who aren’t defective. They aren’t getting near the attention they should right now because of the pervs.

I'm sorry. If you're volunteering to hang out with other people's stupid kids then you're defective

[Lou]

That is utterly ridiculous

That does seem like a really weird opinion. That's saying all the people that volunteer for youth sports to be coaches, or refs are defective.

Probably something that happened to him in the scouts

Blind counts as defective right?

Just a reminder to take advantage of the tax code - you can deduct $0.14 per mile you drive for volunteering plus all expenses associated with volunteering. Shoes, clothes, food, drinks, etc...

Uhh yeah. 

For my daughter's soccer shit I volunteered to do the banner for each game. Coach little league. Help out with basketball. Kids school.

We haven't played any games but nobody's pissed themselves yet so I guess that counts for something.

Is this still the case? I know they did away with a lot of write offs when they changed the tax code. I used to be able to write off miles for work, but they took that away.

Yeah the fucking biz mile deduction for W2s is gone but the charity miles and medical miles is still live

[Adam]

The house passed a bill uping the SALT deduction to $20K but I'm sure the Senate will fuck us over since most big SALT deductions come from blue States

yep, that was my first thought, too. little league, pop warner football, travel team sports, YMCA, youth leagues, AYSO, etc.

i'm guessing nate loaned his costco sized "all evangelicals are alike" blanket to arch.

Yikes. That's an awful POV and speaks to the way the issue has been tackled by the church.
