which means nothing will happen.....they are too disjointed, too tribal...it would take a merciless leader to establish order.....and in this day and age, that would be unacceptable...but, perhaps some cultures only respond to force and a heavy hand.
They should have read a little less from the Bible and a little more from Scott Adams.
They were doing God’s work.
Yours is a discussing post.
Dumping aid on Haiti just means that they will never be motivated enough to create their own infrastructure.
How can a farmer compete with free food. How can a Haitian doctor make a living when doctors from around the globe are always there to treat people for free?
“For God’s Sake, Please Stop The Aid!”
Cannibals.
My neighbor’s large church has had a mission Haiti, and every year they send a couple dozen white suburban kids, who must raise money to pay their own way, to do “mission work” for two weeks - stuff like picking up trash, planting flowers, and taking Instagram pics with skinny little black kids.
They aren’t allowed to leave he compound alone and must travel with an armed guard when venturing outside as a group. Of course, all travel has stopped now
I am conflicted - while I admire their Christian desire to do good, train-up their children in this mindset, and create community among themselves, I find their efforts extremely naive, and, frankly, useless. The end result seems to be cheap virtue-signaling. Its been the exact same thing for 30 years. That anyone would risk their life over this is stupid. They are indeed as innocent as doves, but forgot the “wise as snakes” part.
I apologize for my cynicism.
Hence the need for Dom. Rep. to finish building the Wall they started. Failing that? Move their military to the border....
Exactly.
Our "White Saviour" complex has brought more misery, suffering, and dependence upon the Third World than if we had just let them be.
This is the article I referenced, it totally changed the way I see things.
“A total failure on the part of husband and dad to protect their most precious treasure.”
I remember my bleeding-heart sister who would go crazy over whatever the latest cause was, crying, yelling, etc. Nobody was willing to debate her or try to talk to her because there was no logic or reason inside her head to appeal to. She grew out of it in her thirties, but by that time nobody in the family wanted anything to do with her. When someone is espousing something totally ridiculous, like, say, going to Palestine to prove how wonderful and accepting of gays Muslims are, I just say, “good on you. Enjoy.”
excerpt:
“...3 gang guys that come to the bakery for bread a couple times a week, I asked them what their plans are. They said ‘run to the Dominican Republic when the fighting starts.’”

expect them to be arriving in miami on brandon airline’s “parole program”
Were the Apostles blinded by faith, or were they doing what they were called to do?
On my mom’s side of the family, a couple went to China as missionaries. I still have an old photo of them in traditional Chinese clothing, looked like from mid-1800s to early 1900s. They were beheaded for their faith. I’ve never considered them blind to the dangers.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Few things more pointlessly stupid than sending good white kids into the worst ghettos of the world to pick up trash or dig a well.
Better to send them some garbage bags and shovels. Let these people pick up their own trash and dig their own holes. Or let them live amongst their own squalor and thirst. No trouble to me.
Don’t understand why or how these people can post this kind of thing almost real time.
Haitians doing what they do best. They kill white people. Missionaries are needed to spread the Gospel but Haiti has a history of this brutality and a worthless endeavor for white Christians.
We’ve got hordes of Haitians coming across our border every day. If Barbecue and the Cannibals get the idea that they can murder Americans with out any pushback, what’s to hinder them from coming and doing it here? Hell, they already are. Wipe them out in their home turf first. And send a message to the rest of the world scumbags-
Pedicaris Alive or Raisuli Dead.
That's the point of the thread.
Have a discussion.
Warning! Do Not Go to Haiti until all this mess is sorted out! It will be, a new tyrant will come to power and establish order by fear and terror. Until the new “PaPa Doc” is in place best to avoid the place like the plague.
indeed it was. Keep out of places like that and encourage others to do the same.
