Is Haiti Getting Too Much Help?

Question

This morning at my grandmas house i was browsing through her channels and i didnt know what it was about but it was talking about this guy who thought America was helping Haiti too much.

I Feel real bad about Haiti, i have donated money myself, and thought what he said was stupid. But in a way i agreed with him. He said Haiti was overpopulated, and that their economy was bad, so why do they have so many children? He also said that it wasnt fair that after their moms were having to many children, they expected other countries to adopt them.

Also he talked about how America is basically donating thousands, millions of dollars to Haiti when basically nobody helps America. Were on our own. And now Haiti is basically asking for help when they dont take into consideration the fact that they're so bad off. Is because they don't take control, and try lowering the number of children they have and everything....and that now many haitian orphans are going to need to be transported to America, becouse their country is ruined and now their going to be "our responsibility".

He didnt say it as mean as i wrote it but thats bassically what he was pointing out...and he was in spanish, so idk...and he was bassically booed off stage, but some people did agree with him....

And dont call me racist becouse if you are just going to critisize me for putting out this topic then just dont RESPOND! But does anybody else agree with this? Id like to know....I still feel bad for haiti though...but he does make a good point....=[

Answer 1

wow, the fact that you would be so ignorant as to bring children into such a topic is inexplicably horrid.

you are suggesting that we help Haiti too much? you're joking right... that has to be the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. see what happened in Haiti and the reason we have been donating so much money to this nation is because of a natural disaster that struck out there... and when a natural disaster occurs it doesn't give a crap whether "the mothers are having too many babies" or no, it doesn't ask you if you deserve it or not, this could have happened in our own country in fact if ( god forbid) an earth quake struck out where you are living, I'm sure you would want all the help you can get. it is because of ignorant individuals such as the one who suggested that we are doing "too much" that our world in which we live in today is so corrupt it is the exact reason of why i am ashamed to call myself a person of this society. The next time any of us sit down to a nice family meal think about those children who haven't had anything to eat for days and weeks at a time and ask yourself if you can enjoy that meal knowing that there are individuals suffering and dieing of hunger. bon appetite!





and remember this could have happened in our nation, and I'm sure no one would be COMPLAINING about us getting too much help!

Answer 2

First of all, in ANY place where there is a lack of health care and/or education, the place may very well be overpopulated. Why? Some can't afford birth control and they don't know about it. Are you meaning to tell me that you haven't noticed how people in AMERICA who live in low income areas have a number of children? Same reasons...



And again, what do you mean no one's helping America? When Hurricane Katrina hit, do you know how much money was given to us by other countries? If not, I suggest you read up on it.



Those children in Haiti didn't ASK to be born. I think it's sad and selfish and just horrible to hear about people speak ill of CHILDREN. When people stop caring for CHILDREN, they surely won't care for anyone else. That lets me know the type of world we're living in now.



The folks in Haiti need the help of the ENTIRE world. Why everyone is making it seem like America is the only country helping Haiti is beyond me. Trust me, you won't lose or gain anything by Haiti being helped.



So while you sit behind your computer, in your warm comfy home, think of the thousands of people laying outside in the streets... Scared, hurt, and hungry.

Answer 3

Yes I think WE are helping too much, I understand helping the country a little, but our country has our own problems we should use that money to help our own starving children, and people. Haiti needs help but so do we and you never see anyone helping us, for some reason we decided to donate a bunch of money every year to Haiti, even though it just makes the presidents palace a little bigger.

Answer 4

Yes and no



Yes becasue they just had a earthquake and they need it.



No because Hatti has been struggling for the past 30 years. And for some reason America thinks it's responsibility to take this failed french colony under it's wing. And breast feed it.



I personally think were helping out because during the cold war we didn't want Castro's cronies spreading communism in the Caribbean.



We've been intervening in Hati for a lot longer then most Americans think. And if your feel guilty for not donating any money. Well don't because you already have for the past 30 years with your tax dollars you just dont know it...

Answer 5

while human beings build their residences on a substantial fault and don't have shape codes to stand up to a quake, a disaster like that's purely a count number of time. comparable factor with Katrina . . . you have a city referred to as New Orleans it extremely is 10 feet decrease than sea point sitting on the Gulf of Mexico it extremely is time-honored for hurricanes and a liberal bureacracy that has refused to authorize enhancements to the protective levies for the previous 20 years with the aid of environmental consequence on the swamp lands interior the section. A disaster waiting to ensue.

Answer 6

Too much help?

Right now the French government alongside of Castro and Chavez are criticizing the American government while they watch with their arms crossed doing nothing to help the Haitian people while the US is the only real help they are getting, (hindered by the critics that are doing nothing to help) which is a shame.

Answer 7

The US owes Haiti big time.

Answer 8

no they need a lot more help. but i agree about the 'mothers having to many children and then expecting other countries to adopt them' thing.
