What are you doing to help out the victims of hurricane katrina??

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...

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.
