Starving kids in China growing tired of US leftovers {Gadling}
Apr 1st 2008 11:04AM Actually Francis, in response to your reply, I never "praised myself for sending my trash."
In fact the only thing I commented on was their arrogance in placing orders for what they wanted us to send them.
Also, you don't know me or my income. I have been so poor in my lifetime that I too have gone without food and washed clothes in the bathroom sink that I shared with 3 other apartments. So you should not judge.
Thankfully, because of my hard work and dedication, I have now very successful. I am also very generous in my donations to various charities. I have never donated dirty, broken or half eaten anything.
I was only commenting on the fact that I was turned off by their arrogance in "requesting" Happy Meals and Cash. The statements made in the article were a total turn-off for me and I am sure others.
Again, if someone was truly hungry they would eat whatever was donated to them and they would be grateful. Just like I was when all those years ago, I had to go to my local church and get a food box.
And I certainly didn't stand there and ask for Sunny Delight instead of the purple no name juice. I smiled, said thank you and was grateful that someone had donated all of those items so that I would not go hungry that day.
Starving kids in China growing tired of US leftovers {Gadling}
Apr 1st 2008 10:26AM This story just ticks me off. It makes me angry 5 different ways.
People in the US trying to help in any way that they can - even little children. The Chinese kids are now putting in their lunch orders of what they want us to to send them, "send a whole Happy Meal or better yet cash?!?!?"
Hearing this story just makes me not want to send any kind of assistance to them at all - period.
How ungrateful.
Whatever happened to beggars can't be choosers?
I am sure that people with respond with all sorts of comments about how it gross to send leftovers and that they themselves wouldn't eat a half eaten apple.
I'll tell you this, if you were really hungry you would eat the apple core out of a trash can - seeds and all.
