Let's talk about Haiti
Your gonna call me a prick for this, but heres my piece on Haiti. Yes, it was a tragedy, yes it sucks, and yes I do feel bad for those who were affected by it. But I just want to make this point. We offered our total and complete support to Haiti, thats all well and good, but did anyone offer us support when the World Trade Center was bombed? No. They all said, "Oh that sucks, we will pray for you," but at the end of the day it was our own people who dug through the rubble to save other people of this nation. Haiti didnt care when we faced a disaster. Look at Katrina also, no one offered any help. Hell, we didnt even get there until it was way to late but thats a different story. My point is this, we spend tax money to send aid to those down there, so quit asking for donations, because the tax money we pay is the donation. Try spending the money here in our country, give homes to the homeless, medicine to the sick, support for orphans. Bottom line: charity begins at home.

how true ! I agree !
ReplyDeleteI think that before we should help other people we need to be strong ourselves. We have a lot of people starving to death and living on the bare minimum. Why do we even have the money to send to them but we dont have the money to make sure everyone has health care and food?
