Borrow money from China, spend it on Chinese Crap and then give the profits away

Sounds like a plan

Do your homework before you talk trash like this. I really don't care for Oprah. But the woman is a giving machine.

Just stop.
I would also be a giving machine if i had her bank roll!

Oprah, Paris Hilton urge Haiti quake relief


Walmart Donates $600,000 in Response to Haiti Earthquake -- BENTONVILLE, Ark., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
I'm sure Oprah will donate something to help the victims of the Haiti tragedy, whether it's her time, money or strength.

She is a very generous person who also donated $10 million to the Hurricane Katrina victims.

It really doesn't matter where the donations come from, I'm sure all are welcome.

Gotta say though, this is pretty impressive:

Uh huh. Look, I'm as heart-broken as any other warm-blooded human being over the tragedy unfolding in Haiti, let there be no misunderstandings there. But far be it from me to simply ignore the selfishness in using the public's suffering as a podium to announce that you're making a donation. Donations are wonderful, but the truly kind ones are made in earnest, not in anticipation of grabbing the spotlight.

But in the interest of not making a public spectacle out of kindheartedness and to prove you're so much better than everyone else, why don't you PM me a photocopy of a receipt or letter of thanks to prove the donation that you've made to Haiti (if you have, I promise I won't hold it against you like I'm doing for WalMart), or a plane ticket or something, and show us moral inferiors at C-D that whatever it is you're doing in response to this calamity, is so much more worthwhile. Until then, put a cork in it.

and I have to prove something to you because.....

lord knows I don't have to prove anything to anyone, least of all a trollish newbie who's harping on the generosity of a company in the midst of tragedy, but I, along w/ people in my family, have already done plenty. alas, it's going to take a while to get a new passport, but I'll be down there soon enough. I've already collected 1/2 dozen boxes and suitcases of supplies to send down there (not that hard since I do this EVERY YEAR). you can put your money where your petty mouth is, I'll be down there trying to rebuild my families' home or help them relocate

keep using tragedy as a podium for your own crazy agendas, you've already proven you lack common decency to do otherwise. typical of threads on this forum, I can already see this thread dissolving into Walmart/capitalism/socialism/liberal/conservative bashing. not surprised really
