The slaughter of 1805. The murder of the whites in detail began at Port-au-Prince in the first days of January [1805], but on the 17th and 18th of March they were finished off en masse. All, without exception, have been massacred, down to the very women and children …

Let's be somewhat realistic . They need our help. They have been getting our help for many many years with no hope to repay us . Haiti has a history and the country with the highest birth rate in the western hemisphere is pining to migrate to Florida en masse.

How anyone can take that channel seriously is beyond me. And the talking heads on that channel are one of a kind.

If the country of Haiti wants to act like then all the aid workers should leave. Where was Haiti at on 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina? Almost forgot now there are less Haitians left to try to illegally enter our country now.

the whole country is a sewer and prison why should they act any differently now? and where is the millions of $$$$ that the US has already poured into that sewer of a country?

They (people on the cruise) warned us not to give any kind of material worth to anybody. And then went on to tell the story of a tourist feeling bad for a young bare footed boy with bloody feet. The tourist gave the young boy some money and bought him shoes. Supposedly (This was the story they told everyone) the boy was killed for the shoes. I also remember everyone begging for money, like the streets were lined for blocks with people begging. It was just a ver sad and scary situation.
Fast foward to today, I can't even imagine whats going on down there. These people have nothing to start with and if possible they have even less today. Just terri
you have not been around. back in my navy days, i've seen worse. when we went to senagal. they could not even feed their navy guys. they were eating our sliders like they were filet mignon. people were begging for bread and apples there, forget money. in somalia they have goats for pets in case theres no food. in the middle east they live behind barbed wire and chicken wire. (then people wonder why they blow themselves up) people here don't have a clue, until something like this. i remember some guys kissing the dock when we got back after the cruises. we are the fattest,softest, laziest bunch theres ever been. but watch how many knot heads will complain about helping them...most (ie. pat robertson) would not last there a day! "wheres my manucure and cigar" i'm busy doing Jesus work.....lol

If you volunteer for a day at any disaster area in Haiti you will receive a pass to any Walt Disney World theme park.

great post. We should all be greatful that we live in the greatest country in the world. The majority of Americans take it for granted.

The luckiest thing that happens to most of us in this country occured the second we came out of the womb. We were born in a wealthy, free country.

Instead of comments like nascar's "now there will be less haitians to try to illegally enter our country now", we should be greatful for what we have and try to give to others who were not as lucky as we are. The children who are currently dying under the rubble in Haiti are no different than the children in school in Florida, right now enjoying recess and a nice meal. They were dealt a bad hand from the start.

Coach Pants 01-15-2010 11:42 AM
Oh bullshit. This country is on the verge of bankruptcy and we still give 800 million of aid initially and China gives ONE. MILLION.

China will actually make money on this disaster.

We better save ourselves and stop worrying about 5 million people who are from a country that has historically been filled with corruption and shows no signs of progressing into the 18th century, much less the 21st.

There are over 6 billion people on the planet and the rich are hoarding their money and buying all of the natural resources for a reason. To waste money on Haiti after they have had 200 years to get their **** together is retarded. Your government is already doing a fine impersonation of Rain Man for you. Just watch.
