January 23, 201016 yr Wow, that incredible how she can think that way, incredible in a really bad way. No offence, but that's kinda selfish. If somebody else were in the same position, I definitely think they would do the same, but even if they didnt it's probably because they couldnt afford it. It's not always about giving so you can get something back. You should give, and the feeling of doing something good without expecting something in return, should be what you get back.

I agree one hundred percent. She's actually not my friend. More like just some selfish girl I know. :dozey::P

January 23, 201016 yr I honestly can't stand people that think that selfishly, especially in a time of such great need.

It's not the right way to look at things at all - if you had that mind frame about helping others then what would the world be like? There would be no compassion. Us human beings need each other, and part of helping our fellow kind is giving without expecting to receive anything back. As a country steeped mainly in poverty, the Haitian's are pretty much helpless in helping themselves or indeed anyone else - to judge that they would not help another country in need if they could possibly afford to is really stupid. I understand that the Haitian government and police may have some corruption and that there has been some terrible things in the news that have happened in the aftermath of the earthquake with looters being shot dead, lynched and such - but this is what happens when an already unstable country is hit by a massive disaster. Look at what happened with Hurricane Katrina in the US. There are criminals in every country, and when times are desperate human beings will behave badly. Most of us cannot begin to imagine what it would be like to actually be there and have witnessed so much. From what I've seen the Haitian's look like an incredibly resilient and spirited people who generally seem very friendly and kind. I watched a special program that aired here the other night with a report from Haiti with a news journalist there talking to the locals and trying to help a man who lives in the UK but has much of his relatives living in Haiti. When he got to his family he was lucky in that all of them had survived and an old woman came out to greet him and before going up to her grandson gave the British reporter a big hug. There are millions of innocent people and children who are suffering through no fault of their own and need the worlds compassion - without it they'd be left to die and their country will never get back on it's feet.
January 23, 201016 yr I honestly can't stand people that think that selfishly, especially in a time of such great need. Yeah, me neither, people are so cold and selfish sometimes, it's freaking disgusting! I would seriously punish myself if I ever thought in that kind of way.
January 23, 201016 yr Just getting back to where they were before the earthquake will take ages, and that was still a pretty terrible situation.
January 23, 201016 yr ugh, last night's performance was so beautiful. :wacky: actually, quite a lot of the performances were great. :) i wish i could donate more!! :(
January 23, 201016 yr Just getting back to where they were before the earthquake will take ages, and that was still a pretty terrible situation. Exactly. It's almost too depressing to think about... but just because it seems so dire doesn't mean everyone shouldn't have hope and help where they can. Because they do need all the help they can get.
January 23, 201016 yr Haiti also needs to have their debts cancelled in order to be able to rebuild their country! Please go here to send an email to the world leaders. :nice:
