Seems the whole world is really realising how bad this disaster really is and is being incredibly generous. From fundraising efforts around Australia so far, over $100 Million has been collected and that is set to skyrocket with the massive cricket match and other charity events occuring in the coming weeks.Comment

it's funny to see a bunch of people to start donating large amounts of money for "relief" but its only really to get their name in the press.
human nature I guess
Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

I'm sure that's not why he did it.Originally posted by .?.Although at least I donated anonymously... I wasn't looking for any fucking kudos.
An anonymous donation of 10 million dollars would be hard to keep under wraps.

You gotta be kidding me. Do you honestly think he donated that money to get his name in the press?Originally posted by nofxit's funny to see a bunch of people to start donating large amounts of money for "relief" but its only really to get their name in the press.

Well, the whole thing is getting ridiculous. I'm in Australia at the moment, and it really seems to me as though Australia is competing with places like the U.K. to see who can donate more money. All I see on the news is 'Australia is in the top ten countries for donations' and blah blah...
I know people are helping out... but fucking media.... they trivialize everything.
Plus, did anyone see the exclamation mark they put on the news? they kept writing it: "Tsunami!" which seems to be very fuckin crass imho...Comment

how come they dont do it all the time?
only when a tsunami strikes and kills a bunch of people.
only in popular crisis. we have homeless people, 3rd world countries in which people are starving to death, etc.

That's what the media does. Anyway, if putting things into a competitive nature increases the help that can be given I don't see a problem at all.Originally posted by .?.Well, the whole thing is getting ridiculous.

Because if we don't help immediately, a lot of the survivors are going to die from disease within a month mate.Originally posted by nofxhow come they dont do it all the time?

You have the exact details of Michael Schumacer's financial history? Do you have any real idea of what he does with his money? I'm sure he wouldnt donate on such a large scale on other occasions but I have absolutely no doubt a lot of his income would go to charities. Dont put others down because you arent in such a situation to help out as much.Originally posted by nofxhow come they dont do it all the time?

Maybe it annoys the generous americans among you that your fellow countrymen are so stingy. That seems to be the case at the moment.Comment

Why do some people who make anonymous donations later mention the fact that they made anonymous donations? It's especially amusing when they point out they weren't looking for any kudos. I think if a famous person donates a large amount of money, it should be made public and get coverage. It might inspire other folks in a similar financial position to do the same. And who really gives a fuck what their motive is?Originally posted by .?.Although at least I donated anonymously... I wasn't looking for any fucking kudos.
Awesome gesture on his part. Is it so hard to believe that he's genuinely been touched by this tragedy? He has nothing to gain by making the donation. He gets his name in the paper if he farts in public for christ's sake.Last edited by chodadog; 01-05-2005, 07:28 AM.26 + 6 = 1Comment

I really hope a majority of the money goes to the victims in the past this is not usually the caseComment

By the same means Bill Gates should donate 1 billion dollars. That should be spare change for him. Consider that at first Bush donated 35 mil., and it's not even his money.Originally posted by Living For TodayI'm sure that's not why he did it.
