Why donate to Haiti fund?

[mathdotcom]

Government is already donating your money (and military resources) for you.

[Terrapin Station]

Simply, because they need as much help as possible...

[illmatick]

this thread has been done before, nice try though!

[ipickwinners]

[jjgold]

[H-BOMB]

exactly

are fukkin tax dollars going there

I'd rather it go to them than some billion dollar corporation

[Jimmy0607]

Typical ignorant fukk

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

there are lots of people in the US that simply can't afford to donate 1% or even .5% or .25% of their yearly income to causes like Haiti.


BUT I sure hope there aren't alot of them here on this Gambling forum

[ZBOIZ]

They need help

[poochiecollins]

Matchdotcom and jjgold, if you have evidence that the aid is partially being used to buy martinis and diamond rings instead of helping people much worse off than most of us, present it. Otherwise, shh.

[HoldEmHook!!]

How many other countries came to the aid of New Orleans or Mississippi.....ever been to Haiti on vacation....they sure like to stick it to the visitors........Let them fend for themselves....

[frostno98]

If you going to blow hundreds of dollars on a losing bet anyways, sending them a measly $10 dollars text isn't going hurt!

[pavyracer]

Guys pay $150 a month to post from iphones and make Apple & AT&T filthy rich but can't send a text for $10 donation to feed a hungry and thirsty orphan.

Are you serious? Do you know how many foreign countries offered some sort of help when Katrina hit in 2005? Check your facts before you post something like that...

[in2thethickofit]

They need any help they can get.

[tofuman]

look at unemployment in the US.. i think the US should be helping itself first before it tries helping others..

[uva3021]

lol the status of the lower class in the USA is heaven for Haiti

I'm giving 20% of profti won on wagers to haiti

[gcarp707]

I do believe that we should all help them some as much as we can. But I am also a believer that only those that help others deserve help. There are a lot of people in America that need help but a lot that don't deserve any.

Ya I mean jesus, I could maybe understand if there weren't kids effected by this but how can you not want to send $10 to help a starving 2 year old out.

[moses millsap]

sometimes it's good to do a good thing

dont think about it, this is a massive tragedy, do what you can to help

[reno cool]

there should be a fund established to help those that need it. As there probably is. There's more than enough wealth to go around if the greedy ****s wouldn't hoard it all. The symbolic gesture of donating a few bucks is just that. I'm curious to know if anybody is getting helped besides the media, various business and other elites.

Dude, this is a stupid comment. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world. What did you want them to do for us, really? And by the way, Cuba sent troops to New Orleans, I SAID CUBA! How ****ed up is *hit in our own country when Castro says "*UCK! Lets help them yankees!"

I don't like forced donations.

For a vast majority reading this post the more mature and older you get the more you will realize that life is not about "me", but rather "how can I help others", no matter where the others may reside or even how they choose to live. Many of you reading this will not or refuse to try and understand the concept until you get much more mature and/or older, but one day will know exactly what I am trying to say.

Enjoy your lives to the fullest.

The goverment is helping other people with my money, is that not enough?

[BigdaddyQH]

I am for people who want to individually help those worse off in Haiti, which is basically the entire country, but that should be done on a private basis. How come the US finds 100 million to help the Haitians out, but can not find a dime to feed their own poor and hungry? I wonder how much money Obama would give to a country like Estonia or Latvia if those countries (predominately white) were hit by a major disaster such as this. Haiti will be no better off a year from now than they are right now. They will still be poor and illiterate. Until someone can educate these people, they are a hopeless cause.

Are you serious? Obama wants to help because they are brown too? I'd tell you to get a clue, but you should make 1/2 a clue your goal first.

See, that's my whole thing, too. Social Darwinism and whatnot. The poor/uneducated will stay that way, and if it isn't a natural disaster, it will be disease or famine or some other plight they suffer because of the way they live. And we need them to live that way to preserve the order of things.

I was watching CNN, and people weren't accepting the food being given out by relief workers because they were confusing the packaged date with expiration date. Some of them were even yelling and telling others not to accept the food for that reason. At that point, fukk 'em.

Here's a list of the countries that offered assistance following Hurricane Katrina

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_response_to_Hurricane_Katrina

Haiti is not one of them but then again Haiti is a third world hellhole so difficult for them to offer aid when they are having their debts written off due to poverty

holy shit, dirt poor countries coughed up millions or offered to, and rich countries barely gave a shit.

How much of that $10 text sees a skim before it actually reaches that hungry 2 year old? Our country loves things like this. It's the perfect situation to pull a profit.

The Red Cross non profit? Hell, the CEO Gail McGovern pulled in half a mill last year. Red Cross CEO's use to make much more than that when the economy was better.

Not trying to be contrarian but I agree with the poster in regards to Social Darwinsim. We are just making things more dismal by helping these people. We are only granting them extremely short temporary relief. Haiti is fukked for the long term. Who's going to go in there and build them modern earthquake code buildings for free?

There only hope is to do what Jamaica did. Let an industrialized nation run there country.

Haiti wanted there independence for years and they got it. Those people who live there still probably reminisce of the days of "Papa Doc". Haiti is a rebellious and hostile country with tons of corruption, nothing else. I am surprised that they are not trying to fight off all the aide that has came in.

One rich country Qatar donated a 100 million, I never even heard about that donation, thanks Qatar!

The Salvation Army's CEO salary is only 13k a year, but I completely agree the Red Cross paying their CEO 650k a year is absolutely fukin insane, some charity, hell if youll pay me 650k a year I'll start a charity too

good point. I bet they didn't have to go soliciting donations from citizens either.

I did think you were an idiot now I'm certain. They blamed Bush for not doing enough in our own country because NO is dominately black. Obama or any other US prez would do the same thing for any country that this happened to as long as they are not deliberately funding groups to kill Americans like Iran,Syria and a few others.

Haiti is in our front door, it's not some place half way around the world. You and your syndicate need to get a clue. Have you ever even traveled outside the country?
