The problem is we keep giving. Offer to teach them how to help themselves, and if they refuse then let them die.
France and USA (the bankers and businesses and wealthy, supported by those countries' military (ie, the usual Euro-American imperialism)) have pretty much on Haiti for 200+ years.
The history of France and USA in Haiti is well-known, and many summation articles have popped in response to the quake. Look around. Clearly, Shirley hasn't.
As usual, 4 or 5 vampire families, corrupt to the core, conspire for generations among themselves and with foreign investors to suck out the (limited) wealth to themselves, leaving everybody else ed (like in America with its top 5% visiting continuous class warfare on everybody else, and winning). If Americans can't win class warfare against the top 5%, how can Haitians?
eg, the USA didn't like democratically elected Aristide, so USA removed him from office, twice.

The Richter Scale is no longer in use.
It is now the moment-magnitude scale. There formula behind is relatively simple. 1 step on the MM scale (a 6 vs a 5) has 31.6 times the destructive power. A 7 is 1000 times stronger than a 5.
The reason this is used is that otherwise, the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake would have been rated at over a 1,000,000 on the scale if you measured by the relative potential of energy released.
So you're the fittest because you were born in a first world country? This kind of ridiculous self-righteousness is just appalling. You are not special or a snowflake. You're just a human being who got really ing lucky, and you would rather lay that at the alter of being superior to people born into poverty.
Naivete at its finest.
the guy deserved to get fired. he refers to history and then goes on to demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge on the history of haiti. he is an absolute moron.
so we shouldn't help Haiti because their last few goverments have been corrupt???
white man hating on the black man. just another day at the office
Paying for food and clothes is useless. The people need a ticket to any other country in the world. A hobo in the U.S. lives in luxury compared to their equivalent of a middle class family.
Nothing will ever change there. The people are disenfranchised to the point of being useless tools of revolution (joining N. Korea and Myanmar). The money will always go through some government which is corrupt beyond repair. Policing the world and just obliterating the government for them is unpopular at home.
Billions of dollars will find their way to that government. They will rebuild the shanty towns and line their pockets with the remainder until the next disaster. It doesn't matter whether or not money is donated as the outcome is the same. Maybe you'll live another day in misery instead of starving to death. What else can happen?
At least the disaster has people adopting the orphans and removing them from that cesspool of civilization.
