The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (PUBLIC) The Pub Support Disaster Relief in Haiti

As for being unemployed for over 2 years; McDonalds is always hiring anyone from 15 thru 68. If you are older then 68 then I feel for you, otherwise they hire drug addicts, rapists, former convicts, etc. So don't know how many women you have hid in your basement lately, but they will overlook it.

As for not supporting our own...you have to be joking.
You could not imagine how much money, clothing, time and food I donate to local charities, homeless shelters, battered women's shelters, etc. Ontop of all of this, look up a NPO called Rock N Wrap it Up, which is run only in the US and supports only local charities and local people in need. It collects all leftover food from events, parties, concerts, sports games, schools, universities, etc and delivers those items directly to those in need at that moment. Started by my family (Syd Mandelbaum) and continued to be operated by my entire family on a volunteer basis throughout the United States. Partnered with nearly every major sports team, singer, dancers, MTV, etc.

The difference of donating globally is not to feel like Im one of the crowd, it is that when I donate outside of the US the people I donate to are much more grateful then the people I donate to in the US. Do I still donate time, momny and items to local and state-wide charities? Hell, yes. Do I feel the people in the US who I help are in the least bit grateful? 90% of the time...nope...but I still donate. When you bring battered women and homeless people gourmet food and their response is, "What? No cheese on top? Did you bring cheese?" you start to realize that most people in the country are greedy SOBs.

I give money to homeless and hungry people on the street; I donate money and goods to local shelters and charities; I donate funds to all local religious bodies (regardless of the religion practiced.) And at the end of the year, all I get is a letter saying, "Thanks for your XXX contribution. This amount is tax-deductible. We look forward to your continued support." No sincere thank you, no show of thanks from anyone who received the goods etc. No sign that any of those people whom you have helped are going to turn themseleves around.

Your post only further proves my point. An American, who supports his country and the people living in it, gets absolutely no thanks what so ever; however when they support another cause, that is outside the country, the only people to jump down his or her throat are people from the US because they feel they haven't received "enough." What is enough in your guys minds? I need to donate only to the US? Thats pretty retarded as some of the other parts of the world are not as lucky and fortunate as some of us and cannot help themseleves. Not to mention KGB members exist all over the world, not just in the US.

Donations were not forced on any of you and if you choose not to donate then no one will jump down your throats, however you choose to persecute the one person who does help. I may be a US Citizen, but I am a human being first and will help my fellow men and women regardless of race, religion, nationality, or where they choose to live.

And you wonder why people would rather support the global world, then look after their own. The rest of the world appreciates their gifts, but when you talk about America...only those who receive the gifts are thankful...the rest of the country still bitches looking for their piece of the pie.
