So let's talk about Haiti.
I am over Haiti. I am SO sorry for all the Haitians out there, the loss and damage is horrible. That being said, I do care, but I don't.
I do not want to send them $10 on my cell phone bill, I don't want to watch celebrities sing for them, I don't want to have their orphan babies here. I don't want more people here when America can't seem to take care of itself.
Sure call me a heartless dick. But we have orphans here, we have people with out homes, with out jobs. I know these people. So seriously I am NOT giving jack shit to anyone. (but ME)
It makes me want to vomit that I spent 2 days trying to talk down my homeowners insurance bill, great they lowered it by almost $300! WTF! What if I would have just paid it!!?!? Fuck. I mean we are with out some staple foods right now, and I have to wait till next Tuesday till Spaghetti get's paid from his job to get food for my family. BET YOUR FLYING FUCKING WANKER LOVING ASS I AIN'T SENDING A DIME TO ANY FUCKING COUNTRY. The country of me, and my family is about ALL that gets my money.
I have to buget in preschool, bills, the car payment, and just regular bills, but hey lets give all the fucking Hatians a break, citizen ship and load the place up with Hatians, well because were a nice country like that. Sure I've got a roof over my house, with running water and heat, but lets face it folks, that's about it.
Fuck this shit.
I think it would be fan fucking tastic for us to take care of ALL our oprhans, foster kids, homeless, jobless, and struggling families, and then. AND only then start to care for every other flying fucking country.
Serioulsy. Call me cheap and heartless, but I am just trying to take care of my kids, and my well being, hope and wish for my friends to keep their houses, cars and jobs, and then I can save up all my hard earned money to
I. am. over. it.
Moving on!

I get your point but I need to point out that the orphans they're flying in, are ones that have been matched with families. Those families were waiting for paperwork to be finalised...some for the last two years (or more)...but the paperwork is in the rubble. So they're being flown to their matched families and the paperwork will be finalised. Same thing is happening in Canada.
But I get your point.
Thank you for the information, it does help me understand better. Then if they were ment to be here, they should be, paperwork can be figured out later.
I guess my frustration goes to those who were not supposted to live hear, and are getting freebees while we bust our nuts to get nothing.
Again thanks for the info,
Feisty
I just love you. I am not giving money either. Why does the US have to help everyone but themselves? Who ever helps us? No one. Why cant the celebrities sing and do telethons for the homeless in our country? They can raise millions for other countries but not us? I do feel for the people and the devastation there but things are not perfect here. Let someone else help them.
Clean up your own backyard before starting on others is what I firmly believe.
We had this exact discussion today at work and everyone was HORRIFIED when I said, "I haven't given anything, nor will I". I thought they were going to burn me at the stake.
And then I asked the question, "If the media wasn't shoving this down your throat, would you care so much".
crickets
They had no answer.........
I just have to say, I'm kinda with ya on this. I haven't given any money either. We're all struggling one way or another and why isn't anyone making this much of an effort for the homeless/etc. in our country? I feel bad for Haiti and all, but...
Ugh. Celebrities singing for a cause. Give me a break. I can't give any money because, well, there's only one of us in my house with a job (due to our crappy economy). AND...I work at a facility for children with mental illness who have been abandoned by their birth and adoptive parents. Don't even get me started...
