Haiti

Ok, so this is a terrible tragedy no doubt about it. However, how the hell can Obama pledge 100 million dollars to help them when we have a damn economic crisis in OUR own country. :noo:

This on top of the 800 billion he wants for the war (s) this year.

[blm]

Yes

Ya bro, watching it on CNN right now. Its really sad to see all these people suffer and the planes can't land on the run way to help out.

Am I a bad person because I feel nothing?

Nope. Like I said you're KKK :D

does that kind of "help and donation" money add to our debt like other money spent? i would think it would be some kind of separate area. does that make sense? lol

no just ignorant. :hibb:

you are separate from it all so it doesn't bother you.

i am not exactly torn up about it all but i do feel for the people and the pain of lost family member's etc..

I have no idea, but where does this money come from? Our treasury so how could it not in some way be part of our debt?

I'm sorry, this thinking global and reaching out has to stop. We have to get our own issues contained. But no we are the heroes, saviors, world police, etc...

It doesn't make me ignorant in any way at all.

No, I'm not associated with it so of course I won't have direct feelings for it. I do think it's tragic. It's a significant loss of life, but I just think we have enough problems to deal with as a country.

i do sort of agree. that 100 million could go toward a place like detriot and cleaning it up. could go towards getting projects started to rebuild cities like detriot and that would create jobs.

kind of like a poor guy giving away all his money to help people why he himself cant pay his bills..

to think something is tragic is to have a feeling. so saying "i dont feel anything at all" is wrong. you do.

Exactly, that's my point.

We can pull this monopoly money out of our ass for everything except things to help build/rebuild our nation.

Don't start playing you Freud games. You know what I meant.

But you are wrong. I 'think' it is tragic because I know there are families that have been destroyed. I don't 'feel' anything when I 'think' about it. ;)

i do agree. kind of like they just say "ehh print up some bills". lol. why cant they do that for everything then?
