But this Tuesday could be better than your last. Breakfast lovers can get free pancakes today at IHOP restaurants as part of the restaurant chain's National Pancake Day festivities. And naturally #NationalPancakeDay is trending on Twitter in the U.S. IHOP started offering free pancakes in 2006 and has raised nearly $16 million for charities, according to the company. This year, the goal is to raise $3.5 million with more than 1,500 stores participating. How does it work? Customers can receive a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes and if they are so inclined leave a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals or other charities associated with IHOP. Only folks that dine-in are eligible. "Little did we dream, ten years ago, that thanks to the generosity of our guests, we would be able to raise $16 million dollars, one short stack at a time, and make a substantial difference in the lives of the children in our local communities," said Julia Stewart, interim president of International House of Pancakes, LLC.

To: Willie Green (#0) BTW, this might well be a complete scam by IHOP. They may raise and eventually deliver the money to the charity as claimed but they might take a year or more to actually deliver the money. In the meantime, they have the money you gave them for charity to use as an interest-free loan. Tooconservative  posted on  2015-03-03   8:53:28 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #3. To: TooConservative (#2) ...this might well be a complete scam by IHOP... Yes, it may be a good PR stunt - but boy are you negative! It's a worthy cause, right? So worthy that I WAS going to go to IHOP, have a cup of coffee (which I would PAY for), make a donation, and skip the pancakes. (They'd raise my blood sugar too much - diabetic - I can't eat them - regardless of how much I LIKE them.) But no, I will follow your Scrooge-lead and forget about it. Okay? Sheesh...

So I am to blame that you can't go eat 3 tiny pancakes (and other stuff you'd buy at IHOP to go with it). And you really resent it. Fine. Most people don't grasp how charities in America have become such total scams. Many spend more than half of what they raise on ever more advertising and nagging their donors into giving more until the donors get sick of them and then they sell their names and addresses and donation history to other scamming charities. Meanwhile, the top staff of these operations live like kings with first-class air travel and luxury hotels, charity-owned condos in Vail and Aspen, and salaries in the hundreds of thousands. What, all because they're qualified enough to make a few tearjerker commercials and run an operation by hiring a number of mailing-list experts? Rebate programs work the same way. You pay more, they get to use your money for free until they get around to mailing you a rebate check. And they can dink around on doing that as well in many states, claim they lost the paperwork, etc. And the churches do get in on the act as well. There are only a few real charities left in the country. BTW, you do realize this is almost certainly why Shatner couldn't cancel so he could attend Nimoy's funeral. He wasn't there for charity, he was there for a paycheck from the Red Cross, the same Red Cross that pays millions to its executives and has its big lodges in Vail, etc. They aren't charities any more. They're just tax-exempt businesses. What they are selling is letting you feel good about yourself, however little of the advertised purpose of the charity is ever accomplished. Other than in states that have more restrictive laws, it is generally legal in America to spend less than 10% of the take from any charity for the declared charitable purpose.

Yes I'll go along with many - or even most - being total scams, and I'm still receiving appeals in the mail - my late father's mail - from many of them. I find it hard to believe that 'Feed The Children', and the 'American Bible Society' are 'Total Scams'. Maybe I'm a chicken ready to be plucked, eh?

To: Chuck_Wagon (#8) The single best way to Feed The Children around the world would be to abolish the ethanol program entirely. It has directly caused dramatic rises in corn prices, a staple food of the Americas and elsewhere. And the high prices for corn distort the market and demand for other grains globally. Wiki: staple foods I don't know the American Bible Society but there are a number of free bible orgs out there, producing bibles in every language. So ABS is like a lot of other old-time denominational bible societies. Looking at the ABS website, I see bibles for sale, many low-cost but some insanely overpriced. Look at these rather crappy bibles they sell in the $300-$400 price range. Look at what they're offering on that page and try to tell me they aren't scamming the public. There are people who seem to collect a lot of different bibles, almost like a compulsion they have. Some have 10-20 bibles on the shelf or around the house. I've never understood why they need so many. If they have more money, they go for the illustrated ones with leather bindings (with fine Corinthian leather that would impress even Ricardo Montalban). I'm not a fan of fancy bibles. I do like the extensive study bibles a lot more but I mostly use the free electronic bibles on computer or tablet or cellphone now. America is actually drowning in excess bibles. I suspect most of the rest of the world is too other than in the more obscure languages in the Third World.

I always thought that the high-priced corn alcohol was high priced. But I've never bought a $300 Bible. An Aramaic / Greek / English one for under $100 yes - but $300 is right out.

To: Chuck_Wagon, Fred Mertz (#15) I always thought that the high-priced corn alcohol was high priced. But I've never bought a $300 Bible. Maybe they still do some great work in poor countries with languages we never heard of but I'd take a dim view of them, judging just by that one page in their online store. The bible societies were a staple of the nineteenth century Prot denominations to support translations and foreign missions. What we see today are the remnants of those operations. I notice ads on Fox News where they are trying to revive Shriners for the usual $19 a month. But are there any actual Shriners left alive? My grandfather was a Shriner, helped with the circus and other charity stuff and there was a large and active local group. Today, I don't think there is a Shriner left around here. Huge decline in membership with no new recruits. The Masons are dying off too as are the local Knights of Columbus AFAIK. Also the Elks, Eagles, Lions who once played a vital role in these towns. But someone seems to have gotten hold of the almost-forgotten Shriners brand name. Maybe the Shriners hospital administrators are trying their hand at the charities industry.
