As you may know, I am putting together a fundraiser for Japan, for this weekend. It's a Garage Sale / Bake Sale with ALL proceeds going to the Red Cross in Japan. I'm putting a lot of time and effort into it, not to mention financial aids. Nothing in this world comes free unfortunately, not even on a military post.
So, I posted the official flyer on bookoo.com for Fort Irwin, so more people would read it and hopefully find it in the kindness of their heart to help out any way possible.
Not only is this place seriously lacking on people that like to give to others, no, we are also kinda short in the decency deptartment.
So this one "person" sent me an email in regards to the flyer telling me it's basically wrong, and we should be giving to AMERICANS instead since there are so many homeless and starving "in your own backyard".
"But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love"
For crying out loud, can't you even post a flyer for a fundraiser online without having some ignorant stupid b****h tell you, it's WRONG and you should be giving to the homeless here in the States instead????
How could it ever be WRONG to give your time and money to ppl that have lost EVERYTHING due to a natural disaster???? If you're all out there helping the "homeless and hungry in your own backyard" then hey way to go, but if you just like to talk s**t because you're ignorant and selfish then please stare at your feet and shut the hell up! It irritates me beyond words!
"Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?"
And just for the record, I support World Vision financially, I give to all sorts of organizations that help all over the world, I give to the AMERICAN Red Cross and am also a volunteer for the AMERICAN Red Cross, I give donations to the local food pantry. I do a LOT unlike a lot of ppl I know. So. Before you tell me I am doing something WRONG with working my butt off trying to help Japan as much as I possibly could, think for just one second when was the last time YOUR ignorant ass has done ANYTHING for anyone that DIDN'T benefit yourself???!!!!!!!!
Every person on this planet is entitled to their own opinion and we can't all always agree, that's just how it is. And I get that. But I am so sick sick SICK and tired of hypocrites. If all these people talking s**t about non profit organizations helping in disaster relief in other countries, would actually go DO something about all they think is wrong here in the States, then it wouldn't be this bad!!!
Where are all the AMERICAN Red Cross volunteers? There's not a single one I know other than the ones I met because I'm working with them. And believe me, I know A LOT of people!!!
"Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself
Where is the love?"
Stop bitching, start a revolution!
Rant over. For now.
"We only got
ONE WORLD
That's all we got"
