Archie L.	Care2 Pledge... January 23, 2006 8:57 AM * I am here because I believe in making the world a better place. * I believe in treating others with trust and respect. * I believe everyone has something to contribute. A lot of negativity and rudenes and just plain weird stuff has been going around on care2 lately, and this simple pledge has been making the rounds as a response to that. It's just a little reminder of why we're all here. Fortunately we have never had a single problem on this group, but I have seen several other groups fall victim to slamming, slandering and deleting. To take the Pledge and show the community that you're opposed to the negativity, simply paste this button to your homepage and on your groups. Let's make care2 fun again! Your thoughts?

Judith Ann G.	Hummmm February 16, 2006 7:53 PM I thought with so much caring by everyone, about a huge amount of the same causes, that peoples differences would be small enough in comparison, left home on a shelf. Sigh, so sad really! When I saw the pledge, I thought that really said alot about people doing more and my being able to do more with a Group then by myself. I just wanted to do my share, relax and just enjoy being here and meet some real people, kind people, yes new friends who care about the same things I do. Sounds nice to me! About cut and paste, either with right click info or I do things the old hard way. find the edge click and drag over, then use key boards Ctrl and c to copy then take it to where I want it and click on spot and use key board Ctrl and v to paste. I am trying to figure out how to put a picture in tributes or testimonial ;o) Cut and paste did not work for me there! Nor did link of picture! I see every thing is color coded and wondered about the meaning of that, each color and if there is a page to explain. Yes, I am very new here. Having fun learning! [ send green star]
Archie L.	February 16, 2006 8:26 PM As I said, we have never had any problems here, because we are all people who believe in environmental causes, and we're all friends, but you will see really horrible behavior on some care2 groups-- behavior that used to be unheard of. As far as cutting and pasting goes-- left click and drag to highlight in blue, then control/c to cut, then go left click your curser on your objective (such as my page billboard, or reply to topic,) and press control/v.-- I can give you more help if you send a personal message... To insert an image in a testimonial, or by basic editor-- find the url of the image by right clicking on it, and then left clicking on Properties-- then insert the image by html code like this: <IMG SRC="the url of your image"> The url will start with htttp:// and end with .jpg or .gif... It's actually not that complicated if you experiment... [ send green star]

Rebecca H.	Care2 Pledge... February 20, 2006 11:52 AM I have taken the pledge and the Icon is posted on my billboard for all to see. I have seen others with it and always wondered about it. Now I can be an example for others. I have encountered some negativity while expressing my opinion and asking for patience til they got to know of me. Also invited to a group and then denied..go figure. Over all my experience has been wonderful. Thanks for allowing me to take the pledge and display it proudly!!! [ send green star]

anonymous	February 23, 2006 5:57 PM I do agree with you, Archie. There's quite a bit of arrogance, hostility , ignorance, and just plain pettiness going on 'round here. Fortunately, however, there are still groups such as yours that keep the focus on the issues and on working , slowly but surely , toward a better world. Thanks. Now....how do I put up that pledge...?

Archie L.	February 23, 2006 6:12 PM If you go to your profile page and click "my page billboard" it'll open up a dialog box. Then you can copy and paste the emblem as described above. Or you can get the url of the emblem by right clicking on it and selecting "properties." Then you click on "html" at the top of the dialog box and enter it enclosed by this code: <IMG SRC="the url of the emblem"> always click "preview" to see if it worked, before you hit submit.

Peggy H.	I pledged and posted on my page. March 04, 2006 6:46 AM I'm also very greatful for a place where like minded ppl can come together and share as well as fight for a good cause. It's hard to keep up with so many issues and so wonderful so many care to share so we can keep the bases covered. [ send green star]
Lavina B.	I Care April 20, 2006 5:30 PM We as a group have to stand up and fight against the negative and help people with the positive. Some ways to do this is: ~~~~~~~~~Stop Child abuse in its track!! Stand up and be counted. Help all the children have a chance to love and laugh. ~~~~~~~~~~Stop domestic violence! If you hear violence going on, do something! Don't think it is none of your business, cause it is all our business. Say "NO" to drugs. If we don't do something who will? ~~~~~~~~~Stop animal abuse! It is a fact that human violence is associated with animal abuse. Serial killers and murderers started out with animals before moving on to people. Animals are living beings and should not suffer. Stand up and fight! I saw a turtle in the road, I stopped and picked it up and dirrected it to the otherside where it wanted to go! Lavina B. [ send green star]

Doris N.	I too have taken the pledge June 15, 2006 8:14 PM ... such an excellent idea - at first I looked for a Pledge-group, and then asked my friends, and they were so kind and helpful, but I was a bit bewildered still, and at last I understood that you take it by telling on your billboard on your profile page that you did, and at the very last I found out how to manage the billboard and then finally how to put something on it! I'll be happy to assist anyone very slowly and step by step how to do this, if you feel something akin to what I describe here! [ send green star]
Archie L.	Thanks Doris, June 15, 2006 8:26 PM You always serve as a good example and anspiration to us all. Keep up your good works! [ send green star]
Crokus L.	June 18, 2006 4:09 PM Archie, can I please use your wording "To take the Pledge and show the community that you're opposed to the negativity, simply paste this button to your homepage and on your groups. Let's make care2 fun again!" I think that your words are used very well here. I would like to pin the Care2 pledge to a group of mine where People might not yet be sure as my intentions. Thanks for your time to better this world. Much love to you and all. (And I did took the pledge a while back... ) (Thanks to Simon that asked me about the pledge today. I owe him a big thanks for asking... ) [ send green star]
Archie L.	June 18, 2006 8:06 PM I think I borrowed those words from Dennis B (Dennis's Place.) I'm sure it's okay for anyone to use them. The whole idea is to spread this concept from one group to another. Please post it in all your goods. It's just a friendly reminder of what we all come here for... [ send green star]

Vicki G.	The Pledge June 21, 2006 7:49 PM I think this pledge is ideal. Something that we should strive to achieve in life - not just care2 I will certainly take the pledge but I seem to have lost it someplace beween copy and my home page. Will keep on trying though~ [ send green star]

Suzy D.	The Pledge! June 23, 2006 12:38 AM I`ve been trying to sort out my profile page in order to accommodate the care 2 pledge. I am of course happy to display such a proclamation of my good intent. It`s akin to the Reiki precepts I incorporated when I was initiated into that healing system: Just for today do not anger just for today do not worry honour your parents, elders and teachers. earn your living honestly give thanks to every living thing. I try to live by that creed but I`m sure you`ll let me know If I do fall short of my own standards [ send green star]

Greg M.	not sure June 30, 2006 8:29 AM I appreciate what you are doing Archie, but I don't see how the pledge or button helps. A lot of people come to Care2 becasue they hate environmentalists/liberals/democrats/etc and want to annoy them. Some of them are paid to do it. Others do it because the right-wing groups they belong to tell them to do it. They know they are ruining Care2 for a lot of caring, nice people and they will keep doing it because they can't stand it that folks like us have a place where we like to go to and talk together and make the world a better place at. Most of them will ignore or belittle the pledge, others will take it and keep right on being rude anyway. Sorry to be so negative. I wish I had a solution but I don't. [ send green star]

Archie L.	Hi Perri, June 30, 2006 9:31 PM All you have to do is copy the image from this thread, and post it on your Billboard on your home page to let everyone know where you stand. There are instructions on how to do that earlier in the thread, and Doris has offered to help anyone who's having a hard time figuring it out. Greg, I understand what you're saying. Posting an emblem on our home pages and in our groups is not going to cause the nasty people to turn over a new leaf. But I think it's a positive breeze blowing around care2, and it can make people pause and consider a little bit... I just did it to remind myself to behave better, and it seems to have resonated in this group more than I ever expected that it would. As I've said before, we do not have problems in this group. But as we go out and about, let us be ambassadors of good behavior. I think that is really needed on care2.... [ send green star]

Janice P.	Pledge October 25, 2006 7:17 AM I have taken the pledge, but would have anyway, especially about treating the earth with respect, and especially after reading an article on MSNBC this morning about how by the year 2050, we will need 2 earths because of the rate we are using up sustainable resources and depleting everything else in sight.

Robbi D.	Maybe my outlook will be poorly received October 25, 2006 9:04 AM but I too believe in those values and in treating people with kindness, but don't you find it just a little disheartening that we have to pledge .. and ask others to pledge, that we should be reasonable and accepting of others viewpoints, when we should do it simply because its the right thing to do?? [ send green star]
Archie L.	Hi Robbi, October 25, 2006 1:22 PM I look at it as a personal reminder. I know that I don't always live up to the ideals expressed in the pledge, but whenever I see it on my page or on someone else's, it reminds me to try harder.... *Thanks for joining our little group* [ send green star]
Isma W.	October 25, 2006 2:13 PM thank you for inviting me. I came to care2 about 3 years ago and thought the place would be a place like this. So I took the pledge when making the descison to join care2. I think the idea is great and I will put the picture on my homepage too. All in all I think that care2 is on a journey too with lots of learning experiences and I belive the negative stuff will vannish soon again. [ send green star]
Agnes C.	Care2 Pledge October 25, 2006 3:32 PM ROBBI, I do agree with your outlook! But perhaps we have to pledge for this to bring people that do not see things just as we do - = accepting of others viewpoints, when we should do it simply because its the right thing to do?? It takes me to something I learned from my parents, respect the others as much as you want to be respected. Now, how many were not teached so? Pity, really a pity we have to do such a pledge!

My email: Dear Loralee Johnstone, Your help is needed to protect the Yukon's Three Rivers Wilderness! I know that you are a very busy woman so I will be brief. We are living in a crucial time. We can be responsible adults or we can continue to soil our playgrounds. I wish to be a responsible adult. I know that you are an intelligent woman. Doesn't Yukon Chamber of Mines president John Witham's words say it all? "I don't think the spirit and intent of the process was ever to create a public relations or a voting-type environment," Witham said. "This is an exploration project. This is exploring for metals."
