Hi everyone,
I have a sense of humour that some might describe as 'close to the bone', hence I found this quite funny...
From the Bitzbox website:

We have been collecting donations to help the people affected by the recent earthquake in Haiti.

We want to do our bit to help those who have lost hoes and loved ones due to the earthquake and you can also help too. We have set up a paypal account to collect donations which will be sent to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC).

It is awful that people have lost loved ones, but I feel less sympathetic to those who have only lost a ho' or two

*runs and hides*

sighs...ya all I have to say sighs...maybe you should email them and let them know hmmmmmm.

Ha ha ha. They lost their gardening tools or prostitutes please buy bits.

Ever try gardening without a hoe? O.o

In a third world country a steel gardening tool like a hoe can make the difference between feeding your family or not.

Hoes for Haiti! Help them plant better gardens and regrow thier lives.

Seriously though- we all bitch about the evils of GW price hikes, and/or plop down 50-100$ for the new shiniest little toy men. I applaud the guys at BitzBox for doing thier part to help out and wish more of the gamer geek community could look past the codexes, figs, forums and game tables and see theres a bigger world out there.

Or we could just let Haiti fail, since their infrastructure has been operated by non-government agencies for longer than I can seem to remember... It's all well and good to be supporting charities, but we really need to start looking WITHIN our borders, and helping our own people before we go and dump hundreds of millions of dollars into the infrastructure of a nation that failed long ago, and is not likely to make any forward motion once the damage is under control.

But i'm just a jaded, misanthropic when it comes to digging out third world nations that aren't even trying. When the G-77 walked out of the Copenhagen negotiations, well, my thought on it was "Screw them, if these small island nations end up under water, well, they won't be complaining about the rest of us 'wrecking the planet' when there hasn't actually been any solid evidence that humans can influence the global climate.

Give a man a packet of seeds and he can eat for a day, give a man a ho and he can get her to go to the shops for him.
