Why are you fine with losing a couple quid saving a stranger that you can see but against saving strangers you can't see.
It's the type of strangers. As I said in my post, why give aid to Pakistan, when they can afford to produce nuclear weapons. Give me an answer to that instead of a hypothetical scenerio which doesn't even compare.
