no really brian i don't care. omg an earthquake, wow that sucks. last time i checked there were still over 3 million living on the streets of the usa everyday. but no one cares to help that, so sure let's give money to the drug dealing, aids having haitians. you must have never met an actual hatian.
Thats not a valid point.
Even the homeless people in this country have it better than people in countries as poor as Haiti.
it is valid
we need to help our people first and then others
For everyone saying that its a valid point:
When was the last time they took the time to help the less fortunate in their community?
Its easy to preach and ask that our people get help first, but nobody is willing to take that initiative and help those we come in a direct contact with on a daily basis.
It just starts to feel like everyone will never be satisfied.
Its crazy to think that a country like Haiti is receiving "too much help".
First off OP, you're a %#!$ if not a racist, for saying all that %*! about haitians dealing drugs and it's AIDS problem. last time i checked, AIDS is a widespread epidemic, regardless if it's more common in some places than others...and as for drug dealers, are you f'ing serious? i wish i knew who you were so i could knock you out for saying that ignorant stuff. even the richest suburbia-living kid could be moving weight so *#!$. Man, i wonder what you were saying about those asians when the tsunami hit a few years ago
Now, as Haiti being the poorest country in the hemisphere (fact + i've been there many times visiting family), and how they already suffered like 2 hurricanes already, that country cannot receive too much help. YES, i agree that some countries, particularly Canada and US are using Haiti to repair and/or improve their image internationally, however at the end of the day Haiti needs the aid. Bottom line. The country has little resources to support itself. There's no haitian FEMA, so it's only fitting for the US to save day. After all, this country sees itself as police to the world historically speaking so why wouldn't they get involved?
Those weren't the OP's comments, he saw them on facebook.
