we do give all the money back and then just get more and more in debt. I think it's good to help out hati but I mean we need to take a decade and go back to isolationism and work on our own debt. Or we can start making places to harness renewable energy. That would give more jobs which means more money and people would put more money into the economy.Have you people forgotten that we accepted $40 million in foreign aid for hurricane Katrina? If we should only help our fellow Americans, does this mean we should give all that money back?

cmon man it's human nature for ppl to act like this, you really really need to think about it. Also if something like that happened to the entire u.s. Tell we wouldn't do that out of desperation. We as in americans. Imagine the entire country rocked and you lost your home/family, and if you weren't getting resources soon enough or not enough you will get desperate to support your family or loved ones. Why do you think ppl rob others? Or some females become prostitutes? Unfortunately we as humans do not always makes the right decisions in how to react in times of desperation.News headline: Violence and Riots in Haiti
Things like this makes me feel less sorrow for them. -
T bock fucken Australians aren't the only ppl losing houses a if you look at the finance side of it we are doing alot better then most but still I was expressing how I can relate to wat the other guy said about wanting to help his own before others but I still feel the urge to help all if a could but really you people are arguing about who is more inportant it isn't a black an white world we can't choose who is the most important to help just because you where unfortunate to be born in a poor countrie doesn't mean your more in portant then someone who was born poor in a rich countrie if you donate all you have then you'll be the one begging oneday but if you don't donate what you can spear then you deserve to be the one begging oh and we kangaroos don't run they hop!

I pray for them seeing as I can't go over there and help my self

So basicaly your saying Americans are more important than the people in other countries?or it's just easier to help them first?really I do understand where you are coming from don't get me wrong, I donate to my own countries before I donate to others. No i didn't mean donate all your money i said "if you donate all you have then you'll be begging oneday!"(which isn't good)" but if you don't donate what you can SPARE then you deserve to be the begger" I see it might not have made sense as I wrote spear insted or spare and should have checked my writing better as I know my phone changes what I write some times (but still it was an easie mistake to understand the meaning of maybe you should learn to read too?).

I don't know about you guys over there but if something happens to our next door naighbour we all try and chip in weather it be money or time that's the Aussie way, to help each other so no one does loss all they have worked for! But really like I said earlier I try to help in my
own waters first but if a major thing happens some place else I will take part of what I donate and send it over there. I mean in australia you get it back at tax time anyway so whats going a few months with a few 100 less in your own pocket unless you can't afford it I see no probblem. -
No I'm saying only donate what you can... But if you can donate but choose not to well you deserve to be the one begging I'm not saying go out there an sell all you own and give it to some begger your misunderstanding me on that and and alot of people have lost thier houses due to losing thier jobs because thier bosses are moving production over to china because of the US finacial crisis an they can't afford to stay in production or because thier bosses are claiming they aren't earning enought to pay all these wages anyway to narrow it up I've donated because I can afford it not just to Haiti but also to my own j won't donate to every thing over seas but I will to donate when something major happens it's all I can do in my situation
-
Was that so hard? You cleared it up now, I can actually understand you. Now let's try again... Ya me too.

$40 mil is chump change, at least in relation to the amount of damage caused by something like katrina. i'm not impressed, especially since that came from multiple countries.Have you people forgotten that we accepted $40 million in foreign aid for hurricane Katrina?

the US gov already donated $100 mil to Haiti, with much more planned in the future, plus the cost of keeping 10,000 troops down there (massive amounts). even that's not enough though.

$40 million was accepted by the US. The amount of money offered was closer to a billion dollars. We rejected most of the aid. Why is this even a debate? We shouldn't let people die when we have the ability to help.jcyr wrote:

Dude Kezz started talking about austalia in this thread cause I made him made by saying you look out for your own family before your neighbors... I don't think his family relationship is very good.

I'm forgiving about the looting/lawlessness in Haiti going on now cuz it's been a week and folk get desperate. Hell, I'd prob act the same if it meant feeding my family. They living in total anarchy so bartering is the only economy there right now. Let's hope the relief efforts help make things more normal over this coming week
