Forums → WEPR → what should we do about the Haiti earthquake

We shouldn't have to do anything. The fact that we are is very generous of us. Honestly, let the politicians decide their fate.

Tomer...... This thread is certainly valid whereas the other one had an OP that was trash. The other thread is about the event and this one is about what people can actually do to help and this would be subsumed and subsequently lost within the other thread.

We should do something not because we have to but because not helping out someone in need when you are able to assist them is greed in the utmost. Keeping them from starving to death and saving those that are trapped including AMERICANS is a major thing. I personally am going to assist in a fundraiser selling baked goods and the like for donations.

Just don't send it to anything that is linked to Bill Clinton or else it will get spent on politics just like Katrina money was used to fuel his wife's bid for the Presidency.

All we can do now is... LAUGH IN THE FACE OF THE BLACK PEOPLE.

But seriously... there's nothing we can do about it, let the government handle it.

Quite honestly I say we do nothing.

What is the point of throwing money at a hopeless situation with corrupt leaders? Obama donated $100,000,000 to Haiti despite us being trillions in debt. Lets think about this, a hopeless 3rd world country, or us? Yeah, the money donated will help build things back up again, but what after that? Even before the earthquakes people donated money to Haiti and it seemingly did nothing except build a couple schools or something like that, you never heard about any improvement, just more requests for money. If someone really wants to do something for them, they'd take all the corrupt leaders into a field and shoot them. Then replace them with people would actually get shit done.

You can be a volunteer and go and help people,let the rest to the goverment

text haiti to 90999 and it will charge 10 dollers on you're phone bill and that money will go to haiti

I've heard this argument used hundreds of times on AG, and 0 times on all the other internet combined.

narcissan.

You could say that, or you could look at things realistically. Yeah Haiti needs help, but throwing money at the situation like what is happening now, isn't going to help much. Its much deeper than just giving stuff to Haiti, they need help with their government. If you are so valiant then why do you give your house and all your belongings to someone in Haiti.

I say we think; If what they consider a small earthquake destroyed their county, then imagine what a hundred small earthquakes would do to ours. We should stop laughing and making jokes, and prepare for when its our turn to be destroyed....since according to the Mya and Nostradamus its happening soon.

The Mayans never freaking said the world was going to end and 2012 is not even the correct year. If I were the next Nostradamus and said the world would end Tuesday it would not make it so. Anyone can have retroactive clairvoyance.

We should assassinate their leaders and put someone in there that knows what to do.

We should give money out of our generosity. Not us, but the people of the USA (and anyone else that cares). Its pointless for the Government to keep caring, Imo we're stuck with stupid politicians. We throw out money exceedingly for foreign affairs, practically throwing it in random directions for worthless reasons when we could, infact, target it at reducing our trade deficit and debt problems. I think its a liability for the Government for trying to help the Haitians out.

Needless to say, Haiti is a country in a poor geographic location and chances are all our cash thats going to fix the place is going to end up going no where as Hurrice Whatsitsname wrecks the place in a year or so :S They've never been a country that doesn't see natural disasters or one that has ever had money. The Earthquake has ruined the worst spot imaginable (Port-Au-Prince, the Capital, and the best economic city in the country), and in my opinion its better if normal people and lovely corporations (lol) do their best to help out.

Haiti doesn't really have much cultural background, and for the most part people I've met from the country don't want to go back, visit, and were always wanting to leave when they made enough cash to GTFO.

I donated some cash for myself, but as for the Government -- they're just being stupid. We should send our own money and help out all we can, but Obama throwing out 1 (how many zeros' were there again?) jillion dollars to Haiti doesn't make sense.


And laughing is wrong, its not cool if your just going to, as someone stated earlier "LAUGH AT TEH BLACK PPLZ LOLZ!!"
Because A) It has nothing to do with their ethnicity
B) Your a nub
C) Your obviously a @#$#@*47#@($&@(#*$2'39742 -- You should learn to feel some sadness for the losses of others.

Haiti is a country in a poor geographic location

As of yet, I believe everything is already being done. My government (The Conservatives of Canada) are being retarded, but that's nothing new.
