If you think that you can’t help. Then you probably won’t.
If you think that you can help then you probably will.
It’s all you need really,
The thought. The rest will follow.
Pakistan, hungry kids
Think about it
i guess your new avatar really suits you then...
here's to hoping you wake up some day
Fair enough to have this thought. This Indus river flood has amazed me. Its sad that people are still in the flood zone when the flood arrives.
The floods started a few weeks ago in the mountains and the water is flowing down the rivers. Why doesn't the Pakistan government do something about it? I've been to Pakistan once and its incredible the amount of apparent corruption ranging across society. The results are horrific, the most graphic are the beggars who have been mutilated so they are more effective beggars. Any government that tolerates its own citizens to be mutilated by criminals because they get kickbacks, is disgusting and foul.
I met and saw very wealthy Pakistanis. One of them said to me something along the lines that India is a rich country full of poor people and Pakistan is a poor country full of rich people.
I somehow think most of the aid going to Pakistan will be unlikely to get where its meant to go and will end up mostly in the hands of rich people.
ofcourse most aid is syphoned off to the real organisations behind front aid agencies... millions of people world wide donate monthly believing they are helping, and tv cameras show us footage of some village getting a new goat, or smiling kids lining up to be vacinated with some sterility inducing concoction.
don't forget condalezza rices' comments about the financial windfall after the boxing day tsunami..
70% of the current cases of diabetes occur in low- and middle income countries.
With an estimated 50.8 million people living with diabetes,
India has the world's largest diabetes population, followed by China with 43.2 million.
I saw a program on this the other day and it shocked me!!!
Pakistan, hungry kids + Adults + WA's homeless...
These are thoughts I have daily
IT Does become overwhelming
I'm all for giving money to charity...as long as it gets to those in need. As mentioned above, I doubt that the bulk of the funds shipped out of the country make it to the desitination.
Are you for real? What, did you imagine that the flood waters were dumped by a passing 747 that got the wrong chemtrail cannister?

now now kiddies ,stop bickering and just give a little money to the 20000000 people displaced.
The charity industry, and I write industry deliberatly is largely a scam. A family thats friends with my family has two sisters. One went to uni and became an academic. The other somehow ended up working for a well known charity as a fund raiser. The academic became extremely annoyed as her sister has ended up earning around three times the amount her academic sister earns. So basically the charities are asking for money from people who earn much less than those working for the charities.
From what I have read the charity industry in Muslim countries is even more of an industry where its a religious obligation to give alms. Somehow these alms end up in the pockets of all sorts of people who are not poor. The poor are exploited and treated like Sh!t.
I'm in South America right now (it's early morning), and you know, we're really lucky to live in Australia, it rocks!
God bless Australia, or if you're atheist, may randomness favor Australia.
I hate to see people suffering, but there's just soo many of us that if you throw a 5c coin your going to hit somebody in the eye.
So when it rains somebody's gona get his house/shack flooded... the more we help now, the more will need help in the future and the more pressure we put on a visibly strained ecosystem.
I guess I'm not sure if helping is really helping, or maybe I'm just a self centered selfish tight ass farker.
I'd help if there was an "open source" type charity that created a self sufficient type society... like a real MMO civilization simulation.
They choose to breed and live in poverty They bring kids into the world even if they cant afford to feed themselves.
If we want to help You can send condoms or some of those birth control implants or mabe a few bombs.
Mabe even send some jelly rubber and gings To help them start world war 3.
Most of the western world id "broke bankrupt" They should ask china for a "flood stimulas package this could include rubber floaties and when they get the food rations They should be made to get a 5 year birth control implant.
Elbeau, that was an interesting post showing your kind and generous nature. Some other posters on this thread should try to curb their attention seeking and grandstanding and focus on reality.

I thought I'd just check: Oxfam claims 85% of funds raised goes into food and basic survival needs, world vision claims 75% of funds raised are used in the same way. But geez what a sorry bunch of bastards you are. Flysurfer purports to be a God botherer then advocates doing nothing because the problem will only get worse and that there are too many of them, a kind of Christian culling. Mobydisc claims that the "Charity industry" is a scam on the evidence of a friends,sisters,twin,monkeys uncle or something. Bustawa is just attention seeking as usual and Petermac33 seizes on the subject of disease and death in Pakistan and piggy backs his own agenda of the CIA overthrowing leaders in Iran and El Salvador on top of it. INCREDIBLE, MAXM I'm right with ya!!
