The sad thing is, the shit's just going to happen again.
They started as the poorest country, and now we're enabling them.
This is fucking dumb.

Enabling them....to what? I don't understand how it's dumb.

It's dumb because they don't need 10 BILLION dollars. How much did U.S. donate alone? I mean Jesus Christ, it's not like throwing money at a tornado is going to make it go away. They need SUPPORT doing shit, more than money. I mean sure, helping them out is fine, but TEN BILLION DOLLARS?!

The US (government) donated 460 million dollars.

And really, 10 billion dollars isn't an insane amount of money. Haiti is an entire country, and repairing a whole country (that wasn't well-off to begin with) isn't cheap.

They are well off in the first place because they're uneducated voodoo africans.

Maybe if they dropped the voodoo shit, more people would help them.

Personally I think it's stupid in the sense that'd we've already given them money to help themselves prior to this and they wasted it. Besides we don't need to be spending anymore moneys. D:
