So this is what Haiti looked like before it was shit

This is the West's definition of globalization.

Get fucked GWOZOZO. Who's helping these morons now? The "evil" west! LOL!

You're probably one of the scrotebags running around with machetes!

Not really the time for this discussion. I don't downplay for a second the individual acts of kindness taking place as we speak. But I don't waver from my view, and stand behind my last comment-- with plenty facts to back it up too. I would share some of those, but you don't sound like the type open to the possibility that those who've suffered from Western actions actually have a different naration.

@GWOZ0Z0 I suppose you don't know that the U.S. Gov't has given Haiti nearly $29BILLION in aid over the past 20 years?

Keep up with you're hate of the west. One day we'll just say "screw them people then"..........zero appreciation. Pathetic.

[GWOZ0Z0]

Where can I find this imformation? I do know that the U.S has done everything to keep a puppent president in Haiti.. That includes orchestrating cout d'etats, as recent as '04.

@GWOZ0Z0

Google "History of US aid to Haiti".

How did we do anything to keep a President in power in Haiti? Even if we did, we probably did it FOR the people of Haiti. We do much more good around the world than bad.

The U.S and other countries ar ereponsible for this, they spent years dumping all their goods in our country cheaper than the local price, therefore putting the local agricultural sector out of business and we are now totally dependent on them.

High gas price hit first the rice price while rice is eaten by half of the world population in daily bases.

[ceb2008love]

the funny thing bout Haiti is that they always blame the gas price for the increase in cost of living but when the price goes down , services and  goods 's prices either stay the same or become more expansive.

Greedy business owners in Haiti are known to artificially manipulate prices.
