Re: Haiti

**O-Face**

So my family (parents, myself and gma) are sitting at breakfast saturday morning and grandma says, "So who is donating money to Haiti?".  Clearly she wouldn't, and said it to start a convo.  Dad just laughed at her and I said, "I donated $10 and plan to donate more.".  She turned to me and said, "Now why would you do that? Are you serious?". 

I told her I wanted to to and she asked "why would you want to?".  Holy hell, you old bat!  I basically shut her up by saying, "It's not like I took $10 from you to give to them, and don't try to talk me out of my good deeds.".  

 

Greedy old bat.

I'm not usually an advocate for punching old people but I'll make an exception.

Mom is going to be part of an all-day prayer thing for Haiti. I think that's cool. That's all I have to add, because my mom is not a racist oldbitch.

am I the only one annoyed by the whole "waaaaahhhh - something awful happened - why is everyone being so cheap/slow - we DESERVE HELP NOW!" attitude?

The sense of entitlement bothers me - obviously what happened was awful - but where was Haiti when Katrina hit the US or the Tsunami hit the south Pacific?

I don't think everyone needs to help, but I WANTED to so it is what it is.

and there's nothing wrong with WANTING to help.. but I don't see anything wrong with Grandma not wanting to as well...

Barbie, if I remember correctly it's because she's a racist old tightwad. Had it been say... Ireland she might have felt differently.

Oh, she wouldn't help Ireland.  They're CATHOLIC.  ::gasp::

I find it interesting that this is even a convo between people.

**O-Face**

She asked, I told.  I knew what she would say, but basically I stand up to her, because I'm like her (but nicer, I hope) and don't back down.
