People that donate their entire paycheck to the tsunami victims did something pretty ok, but 99% of them are short-sighted and just a hypocrit. I mean, it's just great that the people in Asia get lots of money now, and help in general, but there's something just not right about this help. First of all, thousands of people are dying every day, in Africa for example. Those people need the help more than the victims of the tsunami ever will, and people just ignore them. This whole donating crap is just something for people to make them feel good. "Hey you know i donated my entire paycheck to the victims of the tsunami, so i donated more than you and therefor i am a better person." That's how most people feel (but often they dont' realise it) or at least act. All these celebrities that try to donate more than others. All these people that blame me for not donating to these victims it's just stupid. I have been supporting a Dutch organisation that gives people medical assistance in area's like Asia now, and in war situations as well. Anyway, people that help now and then think they're good people because of that or just silly. I do not know you but already i think of you as shortsighted. Sadly, giving to the tsunami victims doesn't count for anything. Anyway, i'll trust Mazy, ferret and stolve in this case.

The difference between Africa and Asia is that the cause of many peoples misery there is due to military conflicts in the countries which cant be solved by donations. Its a totally different situation. The people in Asia experience immediate help due to the donations. If the same amount was donated to people in like Congo or whatever it wouldn't have the same effect as the militants oppresion would continue. The tsunami in Asia was a natural disaster, the situations in other countries are way more complex than you think and cant be fixed with money only....

And to think that people donate only so they feel better is an attitude I'd expect from a 10-year old. Sorry, but that's simply bullshit and insulting. I myself donated $100 to the victims of the tsunami and I didn't fucking hestitate. Sure it feels good to be doing something helpful. But I feel obliged to help these people. I have a friend in Thailand. I know I wouldn't want her to be facing what thousands and thousands of people there are currently facing.

I don't feel like a person than somebody who didn't donate. I mean jesus, take that head off yours outta your ass and smell some fresh air. This is not about who feels better than who. This is about HELPING THE PEOPLE IN NEED.

Seriously, sometimes I can only shake my head at you people.

well personally it felt good to donate, but i did it cos i know they need it more than i do, and i wanted to inspire other employees to do the same and guess what, it worked, a few did the same as i and most of them gave at least some of their money...but all those who said to help those in africa and such: so i shouldnt have donated anything at all?

i mean i know i didnt save dozens of lives, but at least its something, i mean i could have spend it on some crap taht didnt matter.

and i didnt say it made me a better person i just wanted to throw that in

and lets keep on topic here please

thanks

PS im trying to reform my ways...i will try to bring helpful comments and threads to mapcore.net...least the best i can

Daano: 99% of ppl in general, or 99% of those who donate money?
