Some of my band buddies along with five other bands have come together to play a benefit gig, we hope to raise as much money as we can. Now I'm thinking if anyone else is helping out, and if so, what's everyone doing?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

That's not good, you could at least donate a buck...

No, it's my buck.

Indeed.

Nothing either..........

Well, I'm sure there are helpful people on here...i hope.

Well...but maybe there are not....

Maybe they should do something constructive with their money.

Ah opinions...

Opinions are cool, except mine are always right.

Just hoping they all get the help they need.

nothing. we have our problems.

the US is rich enough as a country and has more than enough rich citizens to pay whatever needs to be paid themselves, unlike third world countries and the once hit by the Tsunami disaster. I'm more inclined to give those people my money.

Alright, but what I'm now saying is, if you had the ability to raise money, would you put effort into it? I have the ability to play music, so I thought I could help out. The thing about Americans is that they won't give a dime without much consideration, once they fall victim to a natural/freak disaster, they expect all to donate. So if a tornado/earthquake/hurricane/fire took away your shelter, then, and only then, would you think differently. Wierd!

I'm not American. and i'm VERY far away from there. and i honestly don't see your point.

It's simple, if it happens to someone else, most say:
"Whew, glad that wasn't me, I'm just gonna go on about my business because I'm an American, nope, no money for them, I need it to buy something at Starbuck."

If it happens to you:
"Someone help me, donate some money!"

See....simple...

Over here the government would pay ppl

If I'm going to give money I really would prefer to give my money to those more in need of it.

And they would still want donations...

What? I'm not insisting anything, I'm just asking what some people are doing about it, while making a small point that will appear only to some, not all.

Some of the posts being made in this thread are disgusting. It should not matter where you live. When people need help, those who can should do something.

Scythe, your gig is a nice idea. Make sure you donate the money to an organisation that is known for doing something.

I still see no point why should I donate money to some people on the other side of the ocean when in my own country people are suffering cause of the flood.

There are people more in need than those in New Orleans. That is fact.

Then do something to help those people too.

I am.

i am giving money to them at a shoping center near us. jm

I have an idea.

A benifit Burial... Where heads of Enterprises and Companies get togwether and dig graves for the deceased, Not only would people pay to watch Mr. and Mrs. Rolse Royce Getting dirty Digging a Graves, but you are helping out to control contamination.

Then do something to help those people too. I'm 20 years old and have a $15,000 loan, that will grow to $20,000 in 2006. I do donate to charities intermittently when I have the money although I don't intend to do anything more when it's beyond my means to do so.

erm I am doing............................................................................................................................nope not doing anything but I might help out in a few years or so................thats what americans do isnt it wait a little while before helping "friends".......sorry bad joke I know who much america helped without even sending in troops,doing it at school and all that.................*runs*

The immaturity of the majority of people on this forum is really shown by posts like those of Grand Moff and x. This disaster is not about America, it's about helping people who are suffering. Thousands of people have lost their homes, their loved ones and all their worldly possessions. Most of them are poor, so rebuilding their lives is massive task. The whole city is out of action, so a return to employment is unlikely in the foreseeable future. They have little or no money and they need the help of people who can. So, if you can, it's your duty as a human to help them.

Why should I help people I dont know........in the name of humanity?pah.

I'm not being immature. I'm stating reality. It is beyond my means. When it is within my means to be more generous in my charitable donations I will do so - and I will do so to those whom I consider to be more in need of my generosity.
Every minute 20 or so children under the age of 5 die in developing countries from preventable causes. Which equates to between 30-40,000 every day. Which equates to more than 10 million each year. Is someone going to start a thread chronicling each and every news bulletin (or lack thereof) of this occurrence or give hourly updates on this death count?

Just because you want to feel better about yourself by giving money, does not mean the rest of the world will have to do so as well.

Anyways no i'm not going to give any money to anybody there, the US is rich it has the money to restore the city. And in the mean time I can give my money to better things.

Like me?

The life of a philanthropist is fraught with those who are too cowardly to do something good for fear of being considered fake.

American arrogance should not mean that the US is ignored when it actually needs the help of others.

Grow some balls, Wishy-Washy.

Grow some balls? Why to give money to people that don't need it as bad as others. To make myself feel better about myself? You do that, I have more important things to worry about. It sucked for them but its not the worst thing that ever happened.

Btw: about country's helping with this disaster.
The US is the one that has refused to ask for international help so far. Holland already send people but they can't start working yet because we are not allowed to do so. Ships are wasting time becuase the US refuses to ask for help.

Well Canada was finally cleared to send 3 warships with 1000 soldiers and disaster people filled with supplies.

The thing is i don't see the need to donate tons of cash as most people did for the tsunami. Well see that especially here. People gave so far 2 million of the hurricane but over 50 million were raised by this time for the tsunami.

I think sending supplies would help more then money especially in the US.

Well i understand if you don't donate money for the hurricane but if you didn't give a cent for the Tsunami you should be ashamed of yourself. You could have Gave a few cents or dollars. Don't give the argue i don't have money. I don't either but i was able to give $150.

I'm all for sending resources - machinery, vehicles, manpower, etc. But by supplies are you suggesting foreign countries should be sending food aid and medicine - because again there are destinations that have more need of such supplies.

Money is not needed like the tsunami .


Its us In Canada. As a close neighbour we have to help and instead of sending money the Govt is sending mostly supplies to the US.

Thats why you don't see that level of money being donated like the Tsunami. I liked the response to the Tsunami. Everyone donated money and almost everyone cared for once.

Although I have no means of sending money( nor do I have any money to send, sorry). I would have sent it this coming week. I'm sure the people who raised money last week, would have felt a variety of unpleasant emotions when they saw the sheer amount of people suffering in New Orleans. I mean, they sent their money and NO ONE had come to help these people. There would have been no indication of the money being spent in goods and supplies.

NOw is the time for aid, since the people are finally getting it.

But you know as and international viewer of all of this, I was surprised at the terrible delay in the relief efforts in New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf cities and towns( dont forget them, there are neighbourhoods that have vanished).
And anytime I saw some engineer/officail saying that they didn't expect this to happen, I think its a huge massive pile of BS. even bigger, a superdome/convention center pile of $hit.

Sending supplies is important here, yeah there are places that need it more. But the US is in trouble and with more supplies they can try to stop it and rebuild it. Normal people can't really do anything though, and if they do its a waste of time and money IMO.

the BBC and CNN are letting nothing slip. there slamming the Govt hard. Like to see CNN not act like a Bush lapdog for once. In Canada some the media is calling it the purposely slow response has finally come after the richest, strongest country took almost 5 days to help its own citizens.

Can someone tell me how FOX news is covering the story in terms of the Administration response?

I agree, supplies are the best thing required right now

How is FOX COvering. We don't get it up here in Canada.

YAY CNN.

I say call for the resignation of head of FEMA, and BUSH and his administration.

Hmm, I dont know what other countries can do. If they want to send aid, they should.

Well i think if they are right beside the US they could.

CNN won't even interview the Fema guy anymore. I also remember the reporter would not let the governor of Mississippi speak because what he was saying and what was going on was completely different.

Helping the victims, anyway we can is our duty, as a part of the human race to help out. Whether, we get attacked for doing it, because of the confusion, we must, do what it takes, to help one another. The U.S, might have that outlook, and they might think, they are helping, for their own selfish, we are the power status.

Nothing.

Look at all those buses that could have gotten people out.

They don't need money. The government takes the money. If we send in money, the government isn't going to use it. They will keep it for more important tasks.

yeah like, sending bush on more vacations, making sure Rice has more $ 1000 shoes

I donated money for the animals that needed help. You can go to humane societys wedsite, and it should be on the first page.

www.hsus.org/index.html

some people have complained that they spent money to evacuate animals before the storm, rather than people. While I can see their point, someone people would not leave their animals behind. I sure wouldn't.

When everyone around you is sad, who do you think was going to come up to your lap and beg to get petted. Ensuring a pet's welfare brings so much hope and joy to people, its unmeasurable.

Animals also need help, and they can only be helped if people help them.Just because they are not people does not mean they suffer.

I've read westerners spend over $30 billion dollars a year on products for their pets. I'm all for animal rights but people have very strange priorities.

True

Well I don't find it strange that people are wanting to save animals

Nothing, I work for my money so it's mine. They have my sypmathies though, that's all.

It all depends on the person, some are giving, others.....aren't.

I'm doing absolutely nothing to help them.

Nothing at all, And I dont Plan to do anything.

a little in the news..

Kuwait has offered $500 million in oil and other supplies.

little tiny kuwait.

Id do anything I could but there isnt much I CAN do so I donated the money that I had to school and its going to the Katrina victims and devestation, etc. And Im sending a box full of stuff like non-parishable items and stuff like that on Wednesday and they're going to ship it out. That's pretty much all I can do Im not down there near the area plus im only 16 so I cant do much.

Theoretically, US citizens are paying taxes, that help fund the National Guard, who is helping with the disaster, so.... we're all helping out!

Its like the tsunami, we send in money so the government allows them to escape past debts, we don't really give them the money.

Odd huh?

If I'm going to donate money I'm going to donate it to those more in need. There are many people more in need than the residents of New Orleans - billions of them in fact.

But on that thought people lying on a cot in the astro-dome who are wearing one pair of tattered clothing and have a few meals a day arent stealing money from me if I were to donate a bit of it...

I was not talking about New Orleans. I was talking about finding as many ways as possible to help people in general, in any situation.
The situation I described happened over here and harm was done while helping someone in need.

i'm sending all my money to a good friend of my dad's dad b/c his dad has lost everything even his house not to mention the fact that he got out on the last plain out of new orleans!!!
scarey ey?

I fixed a house/shelter for them today...

I'm not sure what I'll do yet.

For the last time, NOTHING.

(Sorry, I'm bored.)

Well other countries are coming to help because the Us finally gives the all clear. Over 150 million dollars worth of supplies is going from up here in Canada and 3 ships and 1000 soldiers. So we are helping.

I'm eating a granola bar. That's helping, right?

It's tragic, very. I feel for all involved, but it's not my problem. Just like if it were me, it wouldn't be your problem.

This sorta situation really separates those who take upon themselves huge moral obligations, and those who don't. We're not wrong for not doing anything just because you go out of your way to do SOMETHING.

While it may not matter to the lot of yahz...I've given blood, sweat and money for the cause in my own backyard. Blood for obvious reasons. Sweat, well I've a fear of needles. And money, well hey! Why not?

I don't know how they're helping, though I'm sure they are, but I have donated a lot each year since I've left school to the United Way - the NFL's charity (which I why I chose them).

I agree whole-heartedly. Some of the posts in this thread highlight the fact that the majority of the members in KMC are ignorant, liittle children - whether their age reflects this or not...

They are so wrapped-up in their anti-bush rhetoric that they fail to see the desperate need for help of these desperate, poor people. America may be the richest nation in the world, but - as recent events have shown - it is a country segregated by lines of racism and wealth. The federal government has been unwilling to immediately release the aid and support that was needed, so it is left to the people of this world to help.

The irony of the whole situation is that the people who condem Bush for his war-mongering are mirroring his aggressive, disdainful behaviour by their lack of empathy for fellow human beings. Bush may be a rotten apple, but they are the maggots gorging themselves all the way to its rotten core.

Supporting the people in New Orleans may not be as 'cool' as helping those who suffered from the Asian Tsunami, but it is just as deserving. Have you seen the pictures and read the stories? If you have, how can you not be affected by such an indiscriminate tragedy?

As I said before, you kids should grow some balls and do what you can to help. It is utterly ridiculous that the guy who started this thread has been attacked for such a earnest idea. As for those calling people 'fake'...apply the 'ball-growing' statement, but add some fertilizer to the mix...You're suffering from antithetic-elephantitis.

Define "what you can".

Because what YOU all can do to help is quite clearly a lot more than me.

It's not my problem. It's severely tragic and I sincerely feel for all those affected by the terrible events, I'm not sitting here saying "Hahahaha! Buy a life raft!" am I? No. I'm being realistic. Before you get on your "If it happened to you..." high horse, I wouldn't expect you to help, nor would I think it's your responsibility. It's not, unless you make it so.

As for people saying "My band and I are playing a show in respect to them". How is that any different from me sitting here showing my verbal concern for them? Those people in New Orleans aren't GAINING anything from either of us. So why is it a difference maker in the degree to which we "say" things? Unless you're donating generous amounts of money or going out there, it's a bit foolish to think you're helping. I bet those people themselves would say that they're thankful for well wishes. Which is exactly what I'm giving them.

I could understand if I or others like me were sitting here poking fun at them, but we're not. We're saying how we feel for those affected and hope they all come out of it as well as they can.

At the end of the day, I'm showing concern for thousands of people I've never met, heard of or cared about. That's enough for me. I'm not exactly going to go and give away my money. This has nothing to do with Bush or anyone else. I wouldn't do it if Ghandi were president.

People need to realise that your choices are just that, yours. I respect that you feel some base need to be altruistic and take some global responsibility, fine. You wanna turn into Captain Planet and the Planeteers, go for it. It doesn't make me bad for not wanting to.

The company I work for is setting up a fundrasier for the victims of the disaster. I going to donate at least $50. And later in the week $25 once I get my next paycheck. I was going to donate my time but I'd rather donate some money instead. Non-tax charity of course.

Steady or you'll fall off your high horse. Maybe you can donate some of your self-righteous indignation to the people of New Orleans since you seem so full of it that it's spouting out of every orifice.
Seriously where do you get off telling people that they suck because you donate money and they don't because they don't think it's necessary or it's beyond their means to do so? You need to grow up, instead of telling other people to grow up, and realise that people are free to make their own choices and that just because those choices are different from yours doesn't make them wrong.

The people in New Orleans are no different to those in any other disaster. If anything, they should really be better prepared, America being a nation of paranoia and all.

It says on the news practically every day now that New Orleans gets hit by a flood every ten years. Seems a little stupid not to erect some even bigger flood barriers.

Well, until we learn to find that sympathy switch, there really isn't much that we can do about that...people will always find the means to be less than what they can hope to achieve.

As to those goals, call me naive but I fail to follow that logic.

coming from the man who trivializes the tragedy in New Orleans by declaring that it was a conspiracy.

not only should you show respect, you should get some class, and a sense of humour while you are at it.

Speaking in such a condescending way could be construed as derogatory. Whatever you want to do or not do, I don't care, but stop talking out of your ass as noted above.

Oh come on now, I understand you are sensitive beyond all human ability or so it seems. I understand that you obviously have wedgie-tight ideas of what an insult is, but that was a comment oh so blatantly intended with humour and you know it. I know you know it because I also knew that you'd be the only person (besides maybe one other) to pick it out as derogatory.

If you genuinely class that as a derogatory comment worth picking up on, then I seriously pity you. You must not be able to go through a day without being mortally offended. I'd hate to see what you feel like when someone genuinely sets out to insult you. Must give you a cardiac arrest.

Yeah Deano, get a sense of humour. If anyone is eligible to give advice on senses of humour, it's Mr. Calling people Captain Planet is derogatory, over there.

I wasn't defending you, Deano. Your constant disrespect for such issues is disturbing and it's an issue on which I agree with Kharmadog.

I'm just saying, I make a blatantly humour intended comment and it gets picked out by him as being derogatory, yet he tells you to get a sense of humour. Contradictory and hypocritical in one.

i know you wasnt,

im not showing disrespect at all, what? aint i allowed to voice my opinion? oh yes cos my opinion differs im being disrepectful. thats disturbing in its own right...the fear of what to say and not what to say huh? long live freedom

You think everything is a conspiracy though. You have EVERY right to think that, but there comes a time when it becomes idiotic.

This was about 6 months or more, ago. Now it's plain out of this world retarded.

Hurricane conspiracy? Do you even read what you post? If you think that, fine. But it's disrespectful to post such nonsense. Nothing to do with disagreeing, I'm disagreeing. But I'm not being disrespectful because I'm paying respects to those involved.

You always ask why people think that you are a bit of a tool, I'm telling you. You see, the way you tried to shoot me down in an attempt at alos being humorous often makes you look like an ass. You further prove my point on successive posts.

Don't waste your pity, seriously. Save it for the few people left on this board who actually value your opinion.

And you must not be able to go through a day without making rash overexagerations or trying to make yourself feel superior to others (then immediately denying it).

Yes, cardiac arrest. Once again I see the humour. I'm sure quite a few people cramped up from laughing when they saw that gem.

Actually I said it was condescending and could be construed as derogatory, but however you wanna make it look so come out feeling better about yourself is o.k. Whatever gets you through the day kid.

And don't talk about being hypocritical again, that's a glass house you often find yourself housed in as you cast yet another stone.

And another intelligent comment stymies the board.

Making a spell so that they nor any other southern state has to suffer ever again. A spell that will help curve the forces of nature to move all it's wrath towards either Californa or New York..
