Yeah, I was more comfortable doing it online than via text. Not sure why, but I guess that method has become the "old fashioned" way for me as well.
That was the first time I ever done anything like that of donating through text...it was so easy. Very cool, but I can understand any hesitancy with the method...

The same reason I care less about you than I would my family, priority.
That's your opinion and you just contradicted it too. I don't see why we would give one bloody cent to Haiti or anyone else?
We sent aid to Iran when an earthquake killed people over there. Yet they persist in funding terrorism and blaming all of their problems on us.
When the freeways collapsed in Oakland I don't remember anyone giving a damn about dead and trapped Americans?
Do you know how many times the Marines have been deployed to Haiti and the Dominican Republic? It's a rat hole.
Wrong + Wrong != Right
I think Haiti is the poorest country in the entire world. My buddy went there to build houses, and he said there were dead people in the street everywhere.

Is he there now or was this in the past?

Don't hate on me. I don't want those people to suffer but I'm not God. I wouldn't wish that kind of suffering on anyone. All I'm saying is charity should start at home, employment too, but that's another thread.
No hate, frankly I could care less what someone else gives or doesn't give. I actually kinda feel bad for ya, but that's another thread.

A LOT different. We had better means than any other nation to rescue those trapped Americans. I'm sure plenty of people around the world cared about the people that were hurt and killed in the Bay Area that day.
The fact that Haiti is a "rat hole" in your words is part of the reason those people need our help. It's the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
Obviously everyone here would be more upset if this tragedy occurred on American soil, but that takes nothing away from the fact that millions of people who were already suffering from extreme poverty are now basically in hell. We have the means to help, and we should.

Alrighty then
