Why are people so caught up with Haiti when we have natural disasters destroying our own US?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100123/ap_o鈥?/a>



Arizona and California have had destruction and chaos and all people can talk about is freakin Haiti. As we speak millions of Americans are giving away our dollars to a corrupt country while people in our own country are suffering. Why are they so stupid??Why are people so caught up with Haiti when we have natural disasters destroying our own US?
It is evident, you are a very selfish person. No one has denied the natural disasters in the USA didn't exist.



Caught up with Haiti?



First %26amp; foremost, the people in Arizona %26amp; California are not having their limbs amputated using vodka as an antiseptic/disinfectant %26amp; they are not being buried in mass graves, without the proper funerals.



Secondly, what's your beef with Haitians, is it their skin color? Are you ranting because TONS of people have come to the aid of brown-skinned people?



Thirdly, Thank God daily you are not in these horrific situations!



Lastly, get a life!
They need our help more. Do you realize Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world? Did you know that 80% of the people live there on less than 2 dollars a day? Did you know that before the earthquake about 80 kids a month were denied to orphanages because there was no room. Are you aware that people are dying there because they can't afford to pay 5 cents for medicine over there?



Stop your ignorance. Even though our country is hurting, other countries need our help more. Stop being so selfish. Our country is not suffering nearly as much as Haiti.



So maybe you should donate. Lend your heart. If you think it's bad over here, most people in the world have it worse.Why are people so caught up with Haiti when we have natural disasters destroying our own US?
Are bodies piling up on the streets in arizona and california.

In haiti they are building road blocks of dead bodies so that any aid coming through helps them and gets to them.

I dont think arizona and california are that bad.



besides u got the Terminator in California. You will be ok. He was sent back from the future to look after you.
AMEN!!!!! I have been seeing all the telethons and musicians on tv but not about california all to often? It is rather stupid as is they do not wish to AID THEIR OWN PEOPLE!? but everyone else in the world I chock it up to old stupidity myself!Why are people so caught up with Haiti when we have natural disasters destroying our own US?
Oh I dont know, maybe because THOUSANDS of people are dead. THOUSANDS are dying, and that country was already poverty-stricken and they have absolutely nobody to help except the kind and generous people of other nations.

what happened in Cali and Arizona cant even compare to whats going on in Haiti right now.

All of Haiti is a morgue, it reaks of rotting flesh because of how many people are dead.

How can you even compare?
Let me ask you this:



What have you, _personally_, done to ensure that you will be able to help Americans in a disaster?



The Red Cross offers free disaster response training in exchange for a commitment of about 16 hours a month to local disaster response. Have you made that commitment?
Probably because they were already such a poor nation and will not have the funds to start over. The US is one of the wealthies nations and the ones who are blessed need to step up for our people but all we want to do is to focus on what car we can buy and what our possessions look like when we could be a blessing to others. Those states that you named are not hopeless or helpless and they do not need the help as much. There are probably people who donated to those same causes you named.
because some americans hate other americans apperantly
so donate to Arizona or California if you feel this strongly about it
Not enough black people affected and no white President to blame it on.
Haiti may have its problems, but so does the U.S.



In the end, it's the bond of humanity that makes us want to help our fellow man, etc.
