Local agencies always take it in the shorts when everybody is focused on someplace far away.

Nice gesture And a very nice thing to do.

However, unlike you I cannot sit idly by knowing that there are armed gangs out there going hungry.

Anyways, who is all that afraid of unarmed gangs?   One of the perks about being in a gang is the whole "armed" part.

Is there a way to send food to Haiti that would go directly to the armed gangs without them having to further tax their emiciated bodies by being forced to hijack them?  I am worried fucking sick.

A gang is a horrible thing to waste.

Hookers get beaten daily, women and children too, and men...does that mean you got to stop donating or doing what you can to help???
I know I get cynical and snarky but being snarky about your efforts being better than what others give is just weird.
Kudos tho for rising above it all
I supppose

I made a donation to the Red Cross yesterday.
When I lived in N.H. an organization I belonged to helped out the Red Cross with blood drives, soup kitchens, fires etc.
They're usually the first ones on scene with disasters like this and the Tsunami disaster.


I'm sure you did.  Is there a portion of the red cross that is only dedicated to helping white people?...The white cross?

Or did you strike some sort of a prearranged deal with the Red Cross where you made them promise that none of the blood would go and help them pathetic foriegners?



Boy, the liberals must be so proud to have you in their ranks.

I have stopped donating to hookers quite some time ago.  Especially the beaten ones.

Call me a cold hearted fuck.   I just figure there has got to be a better way for a woman  to pay for medical school.

I gave a 50 to Dr's without borders. I figured if I am gonna drink expensive hoppy beer, I can cough up that much.

Stef recommended it and they look very worthy.

I did as well. I gave to Doctors Without Borders. They are shipping in an inflatable hospital in order to have sterile operating rooms in the area. Yeah, they pump the damn thing up. Check their website.

I also gave to Partners in Health. They have been in Haiti many years and have medical facilities using Haitian doctors to a large extent.

Both are worth a look I think, because the money goes to them directly. I heard there was a delay in the transfer of money that was given via text msg.

But I am failing, completely.

Status: offline 		It is possible to give to more than one cause but human beings are human beings.  The value of life is not measured by geographic location or nationality. I don't think anyone was asking "Please give to Haiti while ignoring your own people." but rather "Please help the human beings in Haiti who are suffering beyond belief." I am sure there are many people who care about what is happening in their own backyard as well as what is happening next door. Well wishes, Cav's ally

Status: offline 		Not "better," Lucy, but I can be a lot more confident about about where what I can do is going to go.  I don't doubt that these organizations are going to do the best they can, and food stolen and sold to the starving is still food going into the crisis.  I just like knowing the guy who is going to pass it out.

Cynical?  Me??? 

PALMDALE - A shopper at a Palmdale grocery store was shocked to see a picture of her two daughters next to a sign and a collection box asking for donations to pay for their funerals, prompting the arrest of a man who admitted to the scam, authorities said today.

I have the charity that I donate to as well as my family in support for better medications and hopefully one day a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

You have the internet. The information is out there. I'm not saying you should give if you don't want to. But not watching TV is about the lamest excuse to not give a shit that I've ever heard of.

All politics is local.

I have my own problems.  If I cared too much about everything on tv there would be no me.

I dont "owe" anyone to watch TV- or even know that somewhere else has an earthquake.

I don't pay $63 a month to watch endless commercials and sound booms into MY home.   Add to that crappy programming  and news which is NLP- nothing more. We live in a giant corporation- and this earthquake is nothing more then clean up in isle 3.  Those people will be forgotten very fast-  they have your heart only until the next news event... most of which is planned for you.

I man on the other board- sends real life soccer balls to Africa to the kids in a village.    That man has a heart.   I would do that- before I would donate to this flavor of the day- shallow image of caring. We do not give a fuck about those people- so I see no point in faking it.
