Just came in here to post about the same guys. A good friend of mine was up for Young Australian of the Year last year against them. He didn't win it, but I am glad that these two guys won...

Similarly, we have a local Sikh taxi driver in our home town who spends his spare time cooking and feeding homeless people around our city. [0] It's people like these who should be held up as role models for our communities, not meaningless 'celebrities'.

"Loads of Love" is the same name the mobile sperm bank startup in our area is using.

Santa Monica, CA has a facility called SWASHLOCK.[1] It offers showers, laundry machines, and lockers for homeless people. But the usage level for the laundry machine is low.

He is a beautiful soul to want to put a somewhat passive belief system into usable practice. All you need is (loads of) love.

There is no evidence that he is, so it does not matter what you do.

The sad part is that being nice like this is a good way of being taken advantage of.

Let me be a realist and say that stuff like this does not matter. Nice guys finish last. The universe will not care. I guess I'm saying so what? Somebody else will just ripp off billions off of people and nobody will care. Somebody else will defraud, cheat, backstab people and "good people" will applaud him. These guy is wasting his time. Those homeless people will back stave him if he turns his back on them.
