well, I doubt that, because charities are scams. Charities are just ways to make people feel good about themselves. What they really should do is combine their money and hire fifty thousand people to build a national railway.

Then when it's done forty five thousand people are out of jobs?

You can believe what you want, but even the staunchest liberal doesn't usually try and argue government is more efficent then charity.

Explain to me how giving money for nothing is better than giving money for something. Oh and I never said anything about government. I said instead of giving to charity, the rich people should instead band together and make a national railway system.


Yea but as pretentious as you attempt to be with that last statement, you still did not respond the most important question he stated "when it's done forty five thousand people are out of jobs?" Explain to me how you would solve that problem? Japan itself is not that big at all, so 45,000 people can finish that job fairly quick (not considering factors such as earthquakes in certain areas). Don't get me wrong plenty of rich people resort to philanthropy to feel better about themselves, and other times charitable organizations are used for devious purposes such as tax write offs. In the end there is nothing wrong with even a half hearted attempt at helping others as long as you are not pressured into doing so.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
