Anyway,
American Baptists held in Haiti after trying to take children out of country
A group of 10 American Baptists were being held in the Haitian capital today after trying to take 33 children out of Haiti.
The church group, most of them from Idaho, allegedly lacked the proper documents when they were arrested on Friday night in a bus along with children aged from two months to 12 years who had survived the earthquake.
The group say they were setting up an orphanage across the border in the Dominican Republic.

This made me sad in the Indy today... not sad that it's being provided, but sad that it needs to be.
Yeah it's pretty awful,though in terrible situations like this all conventional morality and societal rules tend to just go out of the window.

there we go:
"I want the Americans to take over the country. The Haitian government can't do anything for us," said Jean-Louis Geffrard, a laborer who lives under a tarp in the crowded square.
Anyone seen that Facebook status going round saying something like:
"we should have spent that £50m on our own country no fucking haiti"
FUCKNG HELL! What is wrong with people. Fucking pisses me off. People can't see more than an inch infront of their fucking noses.

"The only country"
People are fucking morons. Write something in an extreme enough way, challenge them to support it and they'll blindly follow thinking that they're being "right on" or that they've actually even "thought" about the issue.
stnuc.

Also why pick om Haiti, why not say that bankers' bonuses should go towards military expenditure or maybe pick up some other way the state spends frivolously and ask why can't that money be spent on 'our boys'?
Idiots with a brain the size of pea.

No I didn't. I said:
Any chance of a sticky for a few weeks on this thread?
massive-earthquake-in-haiti-t123450.html
A few weeks to most people is more than 14 days.
Can I have that information I have the inability to comprehend please?
Your arse. My plate.
Edit to add: Thanks for re-stickying it.

Interesting article by John Pilger on the kidnapping of Haiti,slightly overwrought as is his style but still very worthwhile reading.http://www.newstatesman.com/internation ... -venezuela .You would have to have your head very deeply buried in the sand not to be in the slightest bit worried about how the reconstruction is going to pan out.
