Have you donated to Haiti yet?

I think you need to get a life for pushing people against their beliefs . If it is something I strongly believe in, then why not? It is better than helping a hopeless case for a country where every time a natural disaster happens, they expect everyone else to bail them out instead of raising the funds to help themselves out.

Its not a hopeless case if people survived the earthquake. These people are in a desperate case. They aint dogs where we just put them down if they are dying.

They are asking for help and not a bail out. They aint banks they are people.

Like some Weight Watcher products?

No, because we have never met these people before. Just like if the man in the apartment below me got murdered, it would evoke no response other than "oh" because I have never met him.

1) I don't like how its chucked in our faces as though we HAVE to pay.
2) They play the sympathy card in the appeals.
3) They wouldn't help us if we needed help.
4) I simply don't care.

No, give me a good reason why I should make an exception. The only benefit to me would be "feel-good" factor. And I already feel good.

No. I am going to be brutally honest and say I don't care. And as heartless as I may seem, I expect 90% of people on here to feel the same. I have never been to Haiti before (openly and honestly I have never even heard of Haiti before now), I have no connection with the people, I don't know anyone from Haiti and just like everyone else on here, I will continue with my own life whether there was a natural disaster there or not, and to be quite frank, I don't earn enough to be giving my money to every natural disaster that appears, and giving my money won't make me happier with myself, but it will mean that I might go hungry one day, or have even less money to pay for my tuition fees.

(I do give to charity, I give often to Dogs Trust, because it is something I care about)

no, i dont so stupid fad diets ^_^

treadmill
newcastle top
tattoos
various nights out

^^ all of those

Seriously? Those all count as important things you're saving up for? I thought you meant food and stuff. Nights out, don't need. Tattoos, you'd be better off without. Newcastle top, awesome purchase but not exactly necessary immediately. Treadmill, pointless. Just walk places, rather than spending money on something stupid like that.

Not yet. I've put £20 quid in an envelope and marked in to remind me to donate it in a month's time. At the moment there's a lot of money moving into the place, but after the initial wave of pity and media hype has worn off, that is when the aid funds will start drying up so that it when I'm going to donate

why would i donate. All the donations from the UK wont be anywhere close to what we raise for children in need. Say we get £20million, what will that do, nothing. At my school its costing them 20million to rebuild it. So all in all after the disaster if they want they can build a nice school, THATS IT. No amount of money except trillions would take haiti to back how it once was.
