Haitian Earthquake
Most of you are aware of the recent earthquake that killed thousands of Haitians this past week.

The question is-should the US really be offering aid to Haitians with so many ongoing domestic issues?

it is unfair for the US to aid them rather than others

Morally, the U.S should help, Money-wise, the U.S shouldn't help, either way, I support our helping cause.

Everyone needs to be helping them out because this is fucking nuts. However, I don't think the U.S. are in the financial position to aid them.

But of course they're going to help anyway. We're Americans after all. And dammit, we need to help a little brother out...even if it means spiraling us into further debt. Because 10 trillion and counting isn't enough, obviously.

Yes. Don't care about what problems we are having here in the US. We should help, and so should any nation that can. And yes, we CAN help, even if it were just with people, we can do something. And I'm sure we will.

EDIT: Go here to do so. http://www.worldvision.org/worldvisi...=KNC-113655125

Doesnt the term donation, mean willingly giving? I rather my taxes not to go them; take care of ourselves before others. We are not responsible for what happens to them...

Scenario time.
kuromizu's family is living with his family near the seaside. An earthquake hits and kills thousands of people. His family dies. You have no way to make money in the devastated environment. You have no food. No water. You will eventually die and early death without financial help.


kuromizu: You want to try putting yourself in other people's shoes next time? I'm positive you'd be begging for help if this happened to you.

Actually I already know, fine well, that I can not depend on others. My family is not rich and so I have to earn my money, pay for what I need payed, and figure what I can do with the nickles and dimes I have left..

To your scenario:

In the event of my families death and potentially my own, i would grieve, but still would I believe that I can not expect anything more then nothing. For my own I would be. Survival of the fittest basically. If I was offered help yes I would take it, but as I said I know that I can not expect.

Being in the shoes I am in, I first take care of myself before others, not that I would not make an attempt to help.
