I know this is a horrible thing to say, but that's never stopped me before so....... I think the long term effect could be good if they do lose about half a million. The resources left will be split among a lot less individuals. Of course they are of African descent and Catholic so they will breed themselves into the same problems within another generation.

Respect. Solid ten second laugh on this end partner. Straight up timing. Now I don't know from Haiti but I hear its a fucking sewer. You hate to see suffering in this world. When its not by your own hands at least (or boots, depending).
God bless those beanpokes. Say a little prayer tonight.

There will be hundreds of millions of dollars spent down there now. Hopefully, Have2cit, your company is figuring out how to get their share.

Its funny you mentioned a goat because I've been wondering if the reported death toll numbers were of actual people or were they padding them with goat fatalities too.

The half of Hispaniola that is owned by the Dominican Republic is a beautiful tropical rain forest with stunning beaches and incredible all-inclusive resort deals. Haiti is a deforested mud/dust pile that looks very much like the poorest parts of Africa in both landscape and behavior.

That's a sweet thing to say. I think you're a good person. Thing is you could drop a trillion dollar money bomb on Haiti and it would not do the people a bit of good. I know you think I'm callous for saying this but iiwii. We could pay to rebuild all the buildings (and we will) foot the bill for the entire “international” humanitarian effort (and we will) and the Haitians will still have absolutely no idea what the hell rebar is and completely blame the U. S. for the situation they live in.
Where will the Iranians help out? Their forces actually have earthquake search and rescue experience, but are much too busy blowing university professors. What will the Chinese response be I mean besides a boat load of cadmium laced jewelry? No it will be us and us alone and we will be re-payed only in growing resentment from the rest of the world.

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.

This is the best thing that ever happened to Haiti because it is a begger nation. All is this attention will make 2010 its best year ever in terms of international mooching. It's kind of like how the idle welfare trash of New Orleans hit the jackpot with Katrina. All of the sudden they had FEMA debit cards and trailers on top of what they normally mooched.

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.

I actually heard Robertson's comments in their entirety today on the radio, and if you listen to them in context they aren't that bad. There's a lot of truth in them, and sympathy too.

On Tuesday, a catastrophic earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, but the death toll -- already in the thousands -- is climbing fast.
This is the worst earthquake to hit the area in more than 200 years. Entire communities have been ripped apart and as many as 3 million people have been directly affected, including tens of thousands of American citizens who are in Haiti.
Our neighbors in Haiti are racing to confront the enormous devastation -- and you can help.
Click here for more information about essential relief efforts and ways you can help today.
Footage is pouring in of homes collapsing, Haitians carrying injured family members, and hospitals being overrun in what was already the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.
I have directed my administration to respond with a swift, coordinated, and aggressive effort to save lives. Personnel from the United States and our partners in the international community are on the ground in damaged areas right now, working side by side with the Haitian people. They're providing much-needed food, water, and sanitation supplies, saving lives and helping local communities start to rebuild.
Despite the fact that we are experiencing tough times here at home, I encourage those who can to reach out and help. It's in times like these that we must show the kind of compassion and humanity that has defined the best of our national character for generations.
Click here to find out what you can do:
http://my.barackobama.com/Haiti
As this story continues to unfold, I hope you will continue to keep the people of Haiti in your thoughts and prayers, as well as the many Haitian-Americans who have done so much to enrich our country and who are worried about friends and loved ones in this time of need.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

It seems like there is some serious reevaluation of disaster relief logistics that needs to be done. In a poor country with poor infrastructure, arriving with gigantic ships and planes isn't going to cut it. If Haitians can build rafts and paddle all the way to Florida, then we ought to be able to get them food and medicine in under 3 days. Especially when there's a naval base less than 200 fucking miles away.
I don't expect the warm n' fuzzies from this board, but it's a small step to feel compassion when you look at images like this

It's funny you should say that. Alex Panzer refers to the South, where I live, as "Bornyoland". Like it's a mythical place filled with people who have drivers licenses, their own cars, and don't buy their food off a cart on the street.

Having visited both Haitis and the Dominican Republic several times, I can say without hesitation that I would take a boatload of Haitian refugees over a luxury resort full of Dominicans any day.
In my experience, Haitians are kinder, warmer, more honest and hardworking than the Dominicans, who are widely regarded as the shitheels of Central America/Caribbean.
The situation (Haiti vs. DR) reminds me of the Jamestown/Plymouth history in the US, the first settlement turned into a horror, the second a history. Bad planning? Poor organization? Bad luck? Maybe all of those and more, but you can't say one group is inherently more 'able' or deserving than the other.

I completely agree, and thank you. Except I do love the Dominican people as well, but there is something "harder" about them. You'll just never know until youre face-to-face with the citizens in their own country, surrounded by their own culture (not you're own) before you'll espouse what they "deserve" or don't.

I don't know why but I'm disappointed with the body count.
It went from a third of the country to 50k. That's not even a decent Civil War battle.

Good point...
I have to think that if Satan did have anything to do with this it would have happened during hurricane season. That would make a nice one two punch.
