@ismith and Detrius,
Probably better to make them homeless than dead. Can't say anything about the shantytowns, those people have no choice, but the government buildings, hospitals etc collapsing because of non-existant building codes or because of corrupt officials there is no excuse and those people responsible should be held accountable.

people are injured and hungry and have absolutly no place to go. we have no idea of what they are going thru at this very moment.
i just saw images on TV of peoples with serious injuries, like major fractures and shit, lying on the street patching their wounds with old tshirt and just waiting for something or someone to help them.
tomorrow many help from USA, Canada and elsewhere are going to arrive to search for people, help the wounded and give water and food. There's no electricity at all, its pitch black at the moment for them.
Please stop thinking about the new computer or the last iShit you want so much right now and go give a 5$ or 10$ or 20$ dollars to the Red Cross, we are all very lucky to have the life we have. Let's all be human and help them out.

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," he said on Christian Broadcasting Network's "The 700 Club." "They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal."
Robertson said that "ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other" and he contrasted Haiti with its neighbor, the Dominican Republic.
"That island of Hispaniola is one island. It is cut down the middle; on the one side is Haiti on the other is the Dominican Republic," he said. "Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to god and out of this tragedy I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now we are helping the suffering people and the suffering is unimaginable."

Sanjay Gupta : poor little thing.
He got the swine flu in Afghanistan, so hard...
and now he's in Haiti reporting for CNN. Haiti is lacking of medical rescuers and this son of a bitch plays the journalist instead of helping people...

The funniest thing just occurred to me. When Katrina and the waves hit NOLA, everyone was up in arms over the amount of time that it took the US Government to respond to the situation. Anti-Government this and that, mostly from Democrats and non-US citizens. Now that this earthquake terrorizes Haiti, there doesn't seem to be that much of an outrage.Odd...!? Are Haitians less world citizens than whomever else?

It now looks like all of the non-profit profiters are advertising heavily on all of the most popular news portals, asking for donations for Haiti: like cnn.com, fox.com, etc... Generally only about 60% of your hard earned money will ever get to its perceived destination in a time of crisis.
Business is be booming!
