I know that is not what you mean. Can you tell me the truth? What did you really mean by "Bleach vs dirt"? Who are you calling bleach and who are you calling dirt? And why?

Stating facts is bashing?

I know what bleach does. Everyone does. I wanted to hear from whom made the comparison.

Making comments justifying one's disdain for a particular ethnicity, that sounds like bashing people. This is not whether or not people are stating facts. What I'm seeing is alot of anger/arrogance. One can be honest without being angry or arrogant.

I replied to your post which followed mine. In mine I posted the HIV/AIDS rate for Haiti, Teen pregnancy etc.
If you weren't referring to my post, my apologies.
The fact remains that Haiti has received an enormous amount of aid and has done very little to improve their standard of living. They are beyond our means to save, nor are they as a return worthy of such an investment. What do they bring to the table that the USA needs?
I am not in favor of annexing any other country, but If I were to chose one it would be the PI.

To put things in perspective.
AIDS Healthcare Foundation | Haiti
Haiti Major infectious diseases - Demographics
haiti - www.bweducconsult.org
Do we really need to take on this burden?
Add to this trying to rebuild Haiti into a livable place.
No we not only can't afford it, but we should not take on any additional problems.
Funny thing is the new president of Haiti is doung well, creating new jobs, businesses and the tourism in Haiti is set to explode soon.

On anther thread I posted articles of Haiti being one of the new locations of building tablets that rival apple.

Haiti is not going to improve in 1 night like all you wish it could.

I can see why he thinks you're bashing Haiti because he actually does the "positive research" on the nation.

Something people are to lazy to do yet they have all the time to post the usual negatives of the island.
