[quote name='Todd33']Donating for? Japan, one of the richest countries on the planet?
Meanwhile destitute people live in poverty all over the world and get no fundraiser, sad. I guess it takes a disaster to get people's attention.[/QUOTE]
Why don't you think of it this way; these donations to Red Cross, which most will go to Japan, will be used to bring many people's lives back to normal after a series of horrible, life-changing disasters. It's sad, but at least poor people around the world are used to that poverty, but nobody can get used to an 8.9 earthquake, a tsunami, and nuclear emergencies.
So at least let's donate for normalcy.
