I did not mean to insinuate that Haiti is some great paradise. I think it's just that 99% of people I know have never even been there and they get this look on their face when Haiti is mentioned like everyone is plague-infested savages. I have only been to Port-Au-Prince so I'm not exactly an expert, but I have friends who were in the PC who had to be dragged out of Haiti bc they loved their time there so much.

Anyway, I agree that America is often lending a hand in situations of dithering poverty only to have it bitten, but what I do know about Haitians/Dominicans is that they are not only grateful for American support, they welcome any visitor with the warmest of arms. Just wanted to say that.

I realize I'm on a porn blog and no one gives a shit, but I do pray that these people will find some peace and that Pat Robertson gets lobotomized.



I've never been to Haiti, so I don't know a whole lot about their culture, but it's been my experience that individuals are nice and welcoming on an individual level. Some of the sweetest persons I have ever met were from Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. As a culture/people/religion that warm openness does not exist for our people/culture/nation.

I'm not saying we shouldn't offer to help, we should put up a token gesture like the rest of the world is doing, but stop short of offering to go the distance. If we are going to be treated like the bad guys, by the rest of the world, maybe we should start acting like it, and save a little scratch in the meantime.

And I think Pat Robertson is a bottom feeder and doesn't really deserve any attention one way or another because that was really what he was looking for in the first place.
