If this poll was on VJ, would our results be more or less compassionate?

I found this poll on the forums at hannity.com -

Should the U.S. (government) be giving financial aid to Haiti right now?

At this moment, the "NO" is in the lead - 31-30.

If this poll existed on VJ, would we come off just as heartless?

I think we would.

There are plenty of people on VJ that don't want to help the US, let alone Haiti.

Indeed. That's why I think this poll on VJ would yield similar, or perhaps even worse, results.

so, how much have you sent, aj?

I disagree. I think the overall VJ population would tend to show more compassion towards those in other countries, due to the fact that we are all either from other countries or have an SO from another country. I think those who would say no are a vocal minority.

plenty. not that it's any of your business.

Perhaps, but I doubt it. I think there are plenty of jackasses here.

Lots of places accepting donations for Haiti - what's the best way to donate to minimize fraud, waste and abuse?

Red Cross?

I gave to Doctors without Borders, my usual. They are very good.

check your email, i'm sure there will be 419 emails asking for donations soon.....

I send money every month to the orphanage that's why I said that, but really Oxfam, Red Cross, or Doctors Without Borders are all good. I think there's something you can text to Red Cross to just donate like $10 too.

Also, texting "Yele" to 501501 will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund.
