wonder if there is some kinda legislation or mechanism that would require employers in countries like US and Canada to approve a program that would allow volunteers to take unpaid time off from ours jobs to go <span style="text-decoration: line-through">down to help</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">to only tropical Islands </span>and help... </div></div>



</div></div>

hehe naah.. chus mi, sure there are many of us who can get unlimited UNPAID (and limited paid) days to go bask in JAMAICA'S sunshine.. yours truly included. Suh volunteering to go help pull crushed bodies from rubble would be a stretch..
nonetheless, as indicated earlier, its the result, not the perceived reason.
and admitedly, while there is atrocities all over the world, it more impactful when its happening to your neighbour.

Band aid is better than no aid,whatever kind of aid they give would still ellicit negative responses from some people,...this is no time for nit picking,Haitians are hardly likely to turn away whatever help the international community can offer.

because ile is more important an u building up so as to maintain u presence in di supposed axis of evil area

wid Haiti, the 'natives' dont need much to produce baseballs etc..plus the brownings there r quite complicit inorder to maintain the fractured society so dat di blue-blacks continue to be locked out

true dat.

mi memba after Gilbert how the smallest most 'insignificat&quot; thing whent a far way.

cubes of ice for example were reused and shared. We teck a drink a water off a couple cubes, pass the cup to the next person and dem duh the same.
Sawdust also was a treasure as it was used to insulate small blocks of ice so as to slow the melting.

in times of dire need, things that would otherwise be considered insignificant can create extreme relief.

Indeed.

Can't forget it.

Frighten' yuh sheg.

What's wrong with people - where's our humanity?

<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">EVERY</span> </span>single thing needs to be politicized?

It's so easy to talk all that talk when you're safe &amp; sound in your home. I can't imagine the suffering these people are going thru.

the truth is that everyting IS politicized...the US withholds it USAID if countries dont comply wid their will ( the U.S's) and wen aid reaches a disaster area, u will find that the milkpowder etc will be distributed but the aid dollars r for the most part pocketed by those who run the show...dat is why adequate rebuilding is neva achieved

man to man is so unjust even di fellow citizens of those affected...

Re: Tremor felt in Kingston, Jamaica

So it's for show - let's say it's for show.

<span style="font-style: italic">So what</span> ... then the help shouldn't be offered? That blanket that's given to the cold woman, it's going to keep her <span style="font-weight: bold">less</span> warm because it's for show?

So it's all a show - <span style="font-style: italic">therefore</span> ..... therefore what?

Iraq is built up?

Have you BEEN to Iraq?

Just HOW successfully is that building going brah?

It's been 8 years - how's that building up going?

You don't think there were people and organizations large and small IN Haiti BEFORE the quake?
