This thread embodies the reason why i have zero desire to ever partake in any political debate.
You guys are like clockwork, stop being so predictable guys...you know who you are. I know you guys are more efficient than this. I used the word "efficient" for a reason.

This post isn't targeted towards anyone (KevyKev) in particular, just several people I have seen post on Facebook.
I am sick and tired of the "my heart goes to the people of Haiti" or "The people of Haiti are in my prayers/thoughts"
That's some bullshit. If you really feel bad for those people, put your hand in your pocket and make a donation, you can help them by doing that. Quit acting like you give a shit to make yourself look sympathetic to other people, cause deep down, we all know you don't care.
I agree it's a tragedy, and it sucks for those people, but it won't stop me from doing anything I regularly do.
EXACTLY.
I didn't give a shit about Haiti before the earthquake, and I don't now either. There's no reason to act like you have a bleeding heart just so you can spam it all over Facebook to show everyone what a great person you are, nor is there any need to cheer about how "they got what they deserved." But I guess having a completely over-board view on everything is the intelligent way to form an opinion.

For the people wondering why Haiti treats us the way they do, here's an interesting article I found today. I'll quote a few things from it, and keep in mind my previous posts were made several days before I ever came across this article:
"In addition to providing immediate humanitarian assistance, the U.S. response to the tragic earthquake in Haiti earthquake offers opportunities to re-shape Haiti's long-dysfunctional government and economy as well as to improve the public image of the United States in the region."
"The business leaders I have been meeting with have seen enough disappointment and suffering," she wrote. "What Haiti needs is economic development and the building of a true middle class. ... There is much we are planning as far as creating new and innovative ways of using international aid and government support to promote private investment."
Richard Kim at The Nation wrote that this loan was added onto $165 million in debt made up of loans with conditions "including raising prices for electricity, refusing pay increases to all public employees except those making minimum wage and keeping inflation low." This new $100 million loan has the same conditions. Kim writes, "in the face of this latest tragedy, the IMF is still using crisis and debt as leverage to compel neoliberal reforms."
"The choice of what lands and what doesn't land, the priorities of the flight[s], should be determined by the Haitians. Otherwise, it's a takeover and what might happen is that the needs of Haitians are not taken into account, but only either the way a foreign country defines the need of Haiti, or try to push its own agenda."
