Ah, okay, I get you.

Then hell yes, we need to use American money to help American people. I'm all for this.

You just need to be careful on how you word it. Most of the rest of the world is pretty fucked up. From killing gays in the Middle East, to the raping of 3-12 year old girls in South Africa, to the killing of infant girls in India, to the harvesting of human bodies in China (by the government); most of the world is a nightmare. And most Americans have no idea.

As I've pointed out before: we are the only nation on the planet that has an armed police force to enforce the rights of animals.

I don't believe there is any other country on the planet that has that.

They kill each other and we protect our animals with guns.

A country is a piece of dirt with imagionary lines drawn across it. I don't see how loving your fellow human, as long as he lives on your so called piece of dirt makes since.

I have no more in common with some old starving fellow down the street, than some busted up kid in Haiti.

I would as soon give money to the Haiti people as I would an American. I guess that makes me a bad patriot and American.

Ninja Edit: When I think about it, I haven't given money to the poor here or to the haiti people. Last year, I gave money to smallcanbebig.org and NPR.

It's not the dirt, it's the culture.

It's the same culture that gave you all the opportunities that you enjoy without ever considering them.

Some of the joys are:

- Not starving to death
- Not being pulled out of your house and night and being shot
- Being able to move up the fiscal and social ladder based on nothing but your desire
- Free schooling

And so on.

But yeah, if you want to believe your fellow Americans are nothing special, that's your choice.

I believe one unknown human is equal to another unknown human. Geographical location doesn't factor into it. Basically, I have divided all people into two groups: friends and family that I care about, and everybody else.

I don't have allies anymore. I don't base the value of a person based on the nationality, ethnicity, religion, ect. I have been surprised over and over again by people who I had profiles into a group only to later find out that my profile of that person was completely wrong. I have come to the conclusion that I can only base the value of a person based on a personal relationship. Even then, I might not get it right.

So this leads me to why I feel a homeless or elderly American is not more important than some in injured person in a third world country.

I also have an issue with the charity we (the USA) gives out to other countries when so much is needed right here in America, it makes no sense to me.

Okay then, since the country, the social system, the soil, the people, and pretty much every else you TAKE FOR GRANTED means nothing, then why don't you move to Johannesburg, or Beijing, or Mexico City, or Tehran? After all, there no different than living here.

Now is the time for you to come up with some lame ass excuse why you wouldn't leave. "Oh, but I have family and friends here." or "My job is here." Come on...any excuse that would give you a reason to say that living here is no big deal, or any different, from living somewhere else.

Something else for you to consider from a purely logical standpoint about donating here rather than abroad. Doesn't it make sense to help to end poverty here rather than in some foreign country? It's been shown that those in low income situations are more likely to committing violent crimes. And, after all, there are poor where your family and friends live who may rob or kill them. Wouldn't it make sense to help them so that the social environment where your family and friends live is safer? Sending money to Africa does northing for your family and friends, but ending poverty here does.

It's part of our culture. We root for the underdog and help the needy. That's part of the American way.

I still support that but only, with few exceptions, for the people living in the US.

I don't know if you're aware of it, but the US is the largest contributor of aid to North Korea (via the IMF). NK even threatened us with war if we stopped that aid. So yes, it makes no sense.

We have starving homeless people, yet I'm bombarded by t.v. spots bragging that petfood has real salmon or whatever in it.

Lame ass reason for not leaving? I think you are attacking a strawman, or either you missed the entire point of my post which was my family and friends are the only thing in my world that mean anything to me. Anything else I could give or take. They are the only thing that I would even have second thoughts about dropping in a second. If my friends and family up and moved to a third world country, I would go with them. I would have left here to explore a long time ago, had it not been for my mom. If you think that is lame, then maybe you are the one with the warped priorities.

I am dying to go elsewhere. Not because I dislike the US. I am simply indifferent. I see the world now as I saw my families land when I was young. Sure, the house was air conditioned and comfortable, but I explored every acre of our land and most of my neighbors just to settle my curiosity. The backwoods and swamps were nasty and dangerous with snakes, alligators, bugs, ect, but it was fun, and I loved every second of it.

I don't know if I have mentioned it before, but for the past 6 months or so, I have been struggling with the decision of going abroad. One deal breaker has been my mom. I have tried to rationalize my way out of the guilt I would feel for leaving her behind, when I feel that I need to be near her in case something should happen. My mom, mother, and brother are all in poor health right now. I keep feeling like leaving would be like turning my back on them.

I still might go. One side of me feels that nobody how much I love them, I don't owe them my life. I would hate to stick around only to resent them because I let my guilt keep me from doing what I wanted to do. It is pretty deep shit, and I struggle with it often. I hope you can understand that?

just b/c some one lives inside or outside our country doesn't mean would should or shouldn't help them...territorial residence shouldn't impact philanthropy.

I guess I can understand you argument when we send USG services there, but not the Red Cross or Catholic Relief Srvc...private source stuff.

But in reality, if you live in Haiti, you have little to no opportunity to better yourself. In the US you have a much better chance.

just sayin
