I am deeply saddened by all of this with haiti...but am I the only one that thinks it is funny that we will help people in need in haiti when we have a huge problem here in the states with the homeless and then the ones complaining about how they will not pay more taxes to basically help out the poor so they can get healthcare.
I KNOW it isnt the same thing...but the premise is there...just a little hypocritical to me.
Haiti Earthquake
Re: Haiti Earthquake
cause the government deep down wishes all those homeless were dead. less population to worry about. with Haiti it's about keeping a good name for your country.LGF wrote:I am deeply saddened by all of this with haiti...but am I the only one that thinks it is funny that we will help people in need in haiti when we have a huge problem here in the states with the homeless and then the ones complaining about how they will not pay more taxes to basically help out the poor so they can get healthcare.

Re: Haiti Earthquake
honestly, sorry to insult any potentially Haitan people, but the US government don't give a shit. If they could they wouldn't be there. This is just as bad as Rwanda and Sudan and you never hear about that. Earthquake and the world mourns and 2 countries being genocided and no one gives a fuck.LGF wrote:ahh ok...im just glad someone could give me a reason.

Re: Haiti Earthquake
The refugees are starting to flow into Florida as well.
Sad state of affairs going on and no clue how this country will ever rebuild considering how poor it already was and what the future will hold.

Re: Haiti Earthquake
That was ridiculous, Cooper just using that kid to try and get a good video.BillRoy wrote:I appreciate the fact that the news machines are trying to give us a real look at some of the devastation...but is it me or was AC trying really hard to make a moment? Shit, the kid was 12 or 13 and probably weighed more that AC does. All 15 feet of the 2nd carry attempt was almost as humorous as the initial "Double underhook chicken wing carry" that AC was doing at first.
He had to carry that kid 20 feet for no reason, then the second heputs the kid down, the kid just walks away LOL. I mean, I feel for the kid and it's obviously a sad situation, but I couldn't help but laugh seeing Cooper carry the kid, put him down, turn his head, then the kid just walks away.
