Giant in the Playground Forums - View Single Post - Charity Rejects D&D Money

Hypothetically, lets say a real Evil Organization was donating money to charity to bring up its PR- say, The Mafia.

Would you say that no matter the source, because people's lives are at stake, they must accept the money?

Now I think they are very wrong to not accept, but only because they are wrong about D&D.

EDIT: the contrasting view was said, I think, by Vespasian, when his advisor told him it was wrong- undignified to use money from taxing toilets to build temples. He held up a coin and said "Does it smell?"
