is the world doing enough to help Haiti?

The clothing thing is very kind of you, and I am sure it will help a whole lot. Thank you for being sensitive.

That is so kind of you to want to donate something to Haiti,that would be great if more people felt that way.Which I think it's wrong for people in the US to complain about them.I'm in the US and I'm glad they're getting help.So many people act so selfish about them.They lost everything,they have nothing left and all people do here is complain about them.

I understand what you mean, but since is a natural disaster and is the worlds poorest country, well you see thats how things go. I do understand where you are coming from though. What about the war in Irak? Well... I guess they haven't got their previous "oil" just yet. Medical care? Human rights.... There are loads of issues the United States needs to care for before any other country, yes I agree, but what would the other countries say about the worlds most powerful country? Sure, why don't they help?

How am I being selfish? My father is losing his job because of this. He works with the army (heavy duty mechanic) someone who fixes firetrucks for the city, bull dozers, loaders that clean the city streets, clean our runways and make sure that everything is up to par. But yet they keep a guy that has been there for 6 months, no licence and doesn't know nothing. They don't have money to pay these guys so they let them all go but the dumb one cause he's cheap to keep. And because my dad is the age he is he can't just go out and find another job. They look at peoples age when hiring and that. They have sent countless support, military, ground troops, equipment for clean up, airplanes and ships full of water, food and medical equipment. But now you have to think these machinerary that are over there they come back and my dad is the one who fixes them. They are taking the money that so many people have sent over there and are going to be paying them with that money for clean up. So seriously if you think im being selfish you are sadly mistaken. I think I have every right to be upset and outraged and what is going on here.

And yes it is going to take along time for them to rebuild. But is it the best solution here? Is it best for them? Build and then it be destroyed cause you and both know that something will hit again cause they are in 2 different lines of that path. Not all countries have that money to support them for 10 years. Nevermind that Canada (which im from Canada) has set in a new rule (people that are haitian that live in Canada can sponser their aunt uncle sister brother cousin etc etc) you know what that is going to do to Canada. Think long term. Everyone is just thinking long term. All the Countries and Nations are going to hurt themselves in the long run and when there is no more money to support your own butt where are you going to be?

I see what you mean, you sound a bit skeptic, and thats understandable. I don´t think Haiti would help other country if it came down to the case, simply because Haiti is the Worlds poorest country. It is said that it would take 10 years to rebuilt their City. I know that lots of help has been given to then, but I honestly don't agree with the "what more do they want". Everyone has their opinions and I respect yours But in my point of view is a little selfish to speak in that manner.

Yes, just today one of 6.0... It is a FACT that Haiti is the worlds poorest country, and is a sad thing to see how those people cant help themselves and fight for food. I think the United States should send more troops over to haiti to help rebuilt. If the US Government sent them to Irak to destroy, then they can send them to rebuild. And I think that if everyone in the world donated clothing food reserves or what ever else it will be of great help.

Is not a matter of feeling guilty and I'm not talking about a single person doing something for Haiti, I mean the Governments should do more to help.

this is reasonable

You are awesome! Totally agree with you!

Yes, that is very kind of you to want to donate. I am sure with a little browsing around you can make your donation, even through pay pal, just beware because there will be many people trying to profit from this Is a shame that people take advantage of these sort of disasters to put money into their pockets.

The help that they receive is not enough. If only EVERY single person in this Earth would help, either by donating their money or time, then that would be the best. Other people just don't care. It's easy for them to feel that way because they're not the ones going through it.

This is not relevant to the discussion. Please don´t answer if you don't read what it is about.

I agree with you here, I do believe we are doing something (as far as the Government), but we can sure do more. 8-9 days is a long time if you think about it, people are going ballistic over food, water and what ever... Food is now being sold in the black market for over 6 times what is worth. It is a shame that the same citizens of Haiti are taking advantage of such situation. I also think that our governments can do a whole lot more to help that country.
