Not only would the victims get aid quicker, us poor saps who are barely able to make ends meet as it is would not be harrassed for handouts.

Strange too. that we have a government able to pledge millions of pounds to disaster relief, when they can't look after their own elderly and sick properly. Charity begins at home. Haiti has stronger ties with the USA - let the yanks step up and do something useful for a change.

The reason why celebrities put on a big show for it is because it will inspire more people to vote. Simple. Do you think Bono and Jay-Z donating in secret will influence the same amount of people to vote as Bono and Jay-Z doing it on TV?

You are very bitter. And clearly have issues

Get some geography lessons. An earthquake is not happening in Ireland anytime soon. It's not just nature rolling a dice and throwing a fucking dart at a map, you know.
