Don't blame them.

Only pussies show empathy on internet, a real badass doesn't give a shit and laugh at people who are dying, and if they are children and black it's even funnier.

Badasses on internet are so cool, aren't they ?

[TresDuendes]

Yea it's pretty cool to do anything on the internet, didn't you know? Might as well point out the flaws in others to make yourself look like a real champ while you're at it.

[Aliadim]

There's a lot of things I don't like about TresDuendes, but he had a point. Who are you guys to actually judge whether or not the rest of us are good people, anyways? There's a lot of crap happening in the world - Haiti was no paradise prior to this earthquake - and there's civil wars through the world killing many, many more people than what we saw in Haiti. It's sad that things like that happen, but they do. To start caring just because it's popular on the news? That's incredibly ignorant at best. But who gives a fuck about the rest of the world, right? They don't speak up. Out of sight out of mind, as it were. At least those poor orphan children in Haiti will get a nice little group of wanna-be do-gooders adopting them while orphaned children in our own and other countries continue to be orphan's.

This sudden display of compassion is a joke.

[Tibilly]

Over-exaggerated display of compassion is ridiculous, the same way over-exeggerated display of cynism is. But the later can hurt the sensibility of some people.

I can't say i'm going to cry for what hapened there, but pics and video clips i've seen don't give me the need to post smart ass comments, even if it hapened in a shitty country.

Fuck off, faggot, you feel bad because the media is telling you to feel bad. And then they are stealing your money.

$2m USD before doing anything. Not to mention, the charities spending in 2007 exceeded it's collecting (~$50,000) by spending on things like his own private recording studio and paying himself out on non-profit performances.

[Wildstriker]

Because Wyclef Jean's NGO is the only charity in the world right?

Of course, we could all just wear tin foil hats, not turn on the television or read newspapers, avoid all stores, hang around on KI all fucking day to escape the media's evil hands! Oh, we would also need to find an alternative way besides broadband to connect to the internet, and fuck Google too right?

I realize most of you guys are the type to hate on something because it's popular or well known i.e. the "MEDIA IS TELLING YOU TO CARE, STOP CARING NAO!", but counterculture is simply another form of conformity in a sort of ironic and idiotic way.

Wrong.

I donated cause:

1) I'm next to Haiti, not rep dom. Puerto Rico.

2) I got friends there, I traveled there in the past to do study helps and learn from them in a culture way.

3) If I was from Haiti and had this happening to me, I would of liked to recieve help.

Theres no real need to be all e-thug and spreading your bitch ass words out on me. If you got nothing interesting to say, then shut the fuck up, put your finger up your ass and scream fire. Pathetic ignorant bitch.

I live about 4500 miles away, have no friends there, and will never be caught in a major earthquake in England. Explain to me why I should bother to waste my money on a country that, despite having been independant for over 200 years, is one of the poorest in the world. Should I bother mentioning the complete idiocy they display at times? The country was a shithole, now it isn't even that, you'd be better off shipping them all somewhere else and declaring Haiti a democratic experiment gone wrong. If people don't see the point in pouring billions into the place to restore some semblence of normality to the country (the difference being at least a few buildings could be deemed habitable before), then I don't blame them. Spend the money where it might actually do some good.

Ofcourse Treelo. That'd be your opinion and most of the people around here as seemed. Individualism is such a problem in the world. But its your decision to either to be an ass about it or be helpful. Those are the only two options you got.

What people dont understand is that not always money has to be the "help" subject. There are plenty who are religious, and a simple prayer can be alot of help. But theres no point in doing such if the only thing your gona mention is how poor and pathetic this island is and how they deserve nothing and let alone, die cause you say that "they are better off dead"

I do hope that none of you have a crisis like this in the future and end up pushed aside with no help whatsoever cause I dont wish the worse for anyone.

But I do believe that only then, when you go through the same, you'll aknowledge what I'm trying to say and you'll then be in need of help by others around you.

[Velhart]

Difference with us is that we can fix whatever disasters happen, we don't need another country to help fund us.

I'll admit, it is sad to see people out there in poor conditions, but this was the case beforehand. The country was on a heavy downfall to begin with, this just slammed the last nail on the coffin.

I'd rather read comments like this than comments like the other people have made.

If you cant do anything about it, dont go bashing them up saying what they are, might be, end up being, or anything of that matter.

[MrReinhardt]

you expected a thread made on KI to be completely sympathetic?

[Velhart]

It is the internet, most people do it to be funny, I wouldn't take it seriously.

Except you didn't start the thread and ask people to pray, you asked us to give money. My point stands, the place was a clusterfuck and no amount of money will alter that. Think of the billions invested in Africa, you can keep throwing money at a problem for as long as you want but it won't fix anything. In five years time when the world has found a new disaster to care about Haiti will be just as useless as it was before, no doubt weeping about how it was our fault for not bankrolling their recovery. Go look at the places hit by the 2004 tsunami and you'll find plenty of ungrateful motherfuckers complaining that their government aren't supporting them sufficiently, Haiti will be no different.

Individualism has little to do with it, though feel free to bemoan the evils of humanity, I'll be more than happy to provide all the proof you need. Some of us are just sensible enough to realise that donating money to incompetent nations is a farce, save it for the hordess of corporations no doubt lining up to dump a million or two into the latest humanitarian bandwagon to boost their sales.
