Think Michelle Obama will raise money for the New Zealand Quake?

[C-Gold]

Earlier today there was a big nasty quake in New Zealand. Do you think Michelle Obama and the Hollywood Liberals will hold a big 3 day telethon like they did for Haiti? Think Sean Penn will go down there for 6 months for the relief efforts?

I'll bet they'll give it about as much thought as they did for the quake in Chile, keep in mind the quake in Chile was much bigger than the quake in Haiti, I want to say 70 times stronger than Haiti, but the hollywood Liberals don't care about the destruction in Chile. Just like they won't care much about the quake in New Zealand.

First of all you can't REBUILD Haiti because it was never built up in the first place. The place is a run down shanty town with 80% unemployment and starvation. Sort of hard to have a vibrant country when nobody works.

Good post

[capitalist pig]

I have no idea what the Obamas will do for NZ, but search and resque teams from the USA have already been sent, at least thats what the news is reporting.

So if you were a gambling man, would you bet that the Obamas and Hollywood will care

A) MORE
B) THE SAME
C) OR LESS

About New Zealand? Keep in mind the US always sends rescue crews anywhere when there's a major disaster, this is nothing "special" or out of the ordinary. They'd do that no matter what. But do you think there will be a 3 day telethon? Will Michele Obama ask for donations for the relief effort in New Zealand? Will there be dirty, bruised, homeless children commercials asking for money? Will Sean Penn go down there? You know the answer.

[Chimneyfish]

I'm right there with you on calling the Hollywood liberals out on their double-standard bullshit, but to be fair- the earthquake in Haiti killed over 300,000 people. The fatalities in Chile and New Zealand combined were a small fraction of that, despite their magnitude.

Another double standard is that the rest of the world always goes on about how greedy and selfish America is right up until a major disaster hits somewhere in the world and everyone immediately looks at the US for help. We're always first on the list of most government aid given and yet somehow also the first to be criticized for not doing enough.

How come a smaller quake killed so many Haitians?
How come a quake 70 times larger didn't kill so many Chileans?
Did the US get more ROI "rebuilding" Germany & Japan or Africa?

How many Billions of dollars has Bono, the US, and the Rest of the world sent to Africa? Bill Gates and Warren Buffet alone are sending about 100 billion dollars? How much have they progressed in the last 30 years? Just today they shot an American doctor and killed 3 other people.

What if instead of spending 300 Billion dollars down the money pit of Sudan, Zimbabwau, Kenya, Somalia, we build up Western China, Vietnam, Poland, and India?

What if we spent 300 billion dollars building up ourselves? What if we wanted to make the good great or the best better?

Because it all depends on where exactly the quake hits, what the epicenter is. The fact is that the Haiti earthquake was clearly the most destructive of these.

Really? Is that it? So a quake 70 times stronger... SEVENTY TIMES STRONGER did far less damage because of the epicenter? It didn't have anything to do with stronger Chilean buildings and Haitian shanty towns?

You know the Island of Japan gets quite a bunch of quakes, but they build their cities to withstand such tremors and have routine drills so people won't act like a bunch of Haitians with their heads cut off when disaster strikes. It's called planning. Chile is near a fault like and they planned and built for it. Japan is near a fault line and they built for it and train for it. Haiti is in a danger zone and 80% of the people in their country don't even work. Ever heard of Haitian engineering? Ever used Haitian copper or driven a Haitian car?

That's why a quake 70 times smaller could kill tens of thousands of people.

Your thought process is so fukked up I almost feel bad for you.

I don't feel bad for you. You don't know what your talking about so I just don't care. You can't argue with the points so you just cry about it.

All the more reason they are more in need of AID than others.

No, you let darwinism take it's course.

Even in our country's depression you still have 90% of people working. Haiti has 20% of people working while they stick their hand out for foreign aid.


I'd rather build up a country that works than a country that doesn't. I'd rather help people that help themselves, or help an average country become great, or help our own selves out than help people who sit on the pot and beg for help. They do nothing to help themselves and expect freebies. Work to live.

[ttwarrior1]

awesome post. What they will say is , is that new zealand and chile already have alot of money and don't need our help

[icancount2one]

I don't feel bad for you. You don't know what your talking about so I just don't care. You can't argue with the points so you just cry about it.

The fact is that some people choose to spend their money and use their influence to help alleviate the deepest human suffering on the planet. Apparently you can't understand that, and can't feel a bond with people who don't look or act like you. I hope someday you'll give up your hate.

All you talk radio heads who babble on about taxes and how the gov't shoudn't decide what to do with your money don't seem to have any problem telling other people who've earned their money and power what to do with it and determining what charitable causes are "worthwhile".

This is also an interesting post for someone who can't pony up the $200 to go pro. I find the most virulent racists are often broke and unhappy, and need to find someone "worse" than them to point at.

Sure are making a lot of assumptions out there against people you don't know. I see you continue to ignore the facts that...

America rebuilt Japan after WW2. We helped our enemies and were rewarded for our investment
America financed the rebuilding of Germany after WW2, our enemies are our friends, we were rewarded
America spent hundreds of billions on Africa, for what? They haven't advanced at all.

Maybe instead of investing into a black hole, we can invest in a poor country on the up and up like Thailand, Malaysia, or Vietnam. Then maybe in a decade or two they can look more like South Korea and then eventually Japan. Instead of sewing shirts and working in small factories, those people will advance on to white collar jobs and cure diseases in YOUR life time. There's hope for Thailand, there's no hope for Africa. It's been a disaster money pit for 3 decades.

The Vietnamese were once our enemies like Germany/Japan, and that country is on the up and up. I'd much rather invest in them.

You mean like Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and all of the poor dopes that follow them and beg for other people's money? You might have a point. They are some pretty hateful losers that hate other races and want their stuff. Blame whitey because they are losers.

[C-Gold]

The fact is that some people choose to spend their money and use their influence to help alleviate the deepest human suffering on the planet. .

And why are the suffering? You think maybe the 80% unemployment rate has anything to do with it?

Do you think Japan would be thriving if 20% of the people worked?
Do you think the America would be a great place to live if 20% of the people worked?
Do you think people would be starving in the UK of 80% didn't work?

You might say they are poor, but why? If they refuse to help themselves then why should we help them? Americans worked the most hours in the industrial world, so why should we work extra hours so they can sit on the pot?

[C-Gold]

Your thought process is so fukked up I almost feel bad for you.

Now I actually do feel bad for you. You jump into a conversation you know nothing about, start making assumptions and calling people names. That's actually the definition of ignorance. The sad thing is you don't even realize you are.

[icancount2one]

Yes, those 80% of Haitians should get off their lazy asses, hop on craigslist and get a job

I don't see what an earthquake in New Zealand has to do with Al Sharpton blaming whitey. You're totally insane.

And my issue with you not being pro isn't ad hominem. I don't see how somebody who cares enough about sports betting to rack up 2,319 posts in six months but can't manage his finances well enough to pony up $200 to reap a lot of benefits from posting can say about sound financial investing and global economics. That is, unless you're someone's racist ghost account.

How come a smaller quake killed so many Haitians?

Because Haiti is a poor, screwed up culture where people live in closely-quartered rusty shacks. I didn't realize this was an issue anybody was debating.

Just because there's an obvious reason why so many more people died doesn't change the reality that many more people did indeed die. Explaining a fact doesn't make it go away. I'm not arguing for tax dollars to be used as aid to any other countries (I think all charity should be voluntary), I'm just pointing out the huge difference in fatalities between Haiti and Chile or New England.

well, i dont know what the first lady or sean penn will do, but the reason Haiti was such a big deal is because it was in our backyard. It would be the same for any carribbean island or country.
