Poll: Do you donate to charity?

I think it's a fair guess that many members of the HN community are well off. As I encounter more and more developers, entrepreneurs, and others who visit this site regularly, I find that the question of whether one should feel obligated to give to charity becomes more relevant.

Thoughts?

I don't think I'm the run of the mill HN user, but I'm an undergrad in biology.

Still give to charity.

There are financial donations and service donations. The latter can be much more effective. A really effective donation is spending one Saturday a month helping to fix computer problems at a non-profit of your choice. We also used to create refurbished computers for them out of donations from folks with excess computers.

You shouldn't feel obliged to give to charity, but you definitely should give to charity

Why shouldn't someone feel obliged to give to charity?
