>I am also annoyed that I have to be a "bad person" and decline to give to this or that charity every time I buy something at a store and the frigging credit card / loyalty card machines require me to decline the charity this or that company is trying to raise money for to improve their image.<

Blame your upbringing and childhood for feeling like a "bad person" when saying no <vbg>. Its just a habit of mind. Others need to be reminded that it actually feels uplifting to be generous and these opportunities for giving are just that opportunities, one can always decline if one feels the recipient is not "deserving". Why should you feel like a bad person if you have the sense of being scammed? FWIW, it still feels uplifting to some to be generous even if the recipient isn't clearly deserving at the time.
