I hate anyone with money who gives to charity
handicaped people and sick people aside(I help those), most of the poor are simply people with an average income who decided they have to have 9 kids

in africa the average woman has 7 kids
so imagine that I as a person with a decent living, I have 2 to 3 kids to ensure that they live well, and I need to be concernd about some other people's kids?

they had the orgasm(at least one of them did ), why should I feed the kid?

as for Oprah, she donates a small tiny percentage of what she makes with one single "wohoooo" on TV.

The smart thing to do would be of course to keep it in banks. I mean 25 billion dollars will be better off doing nothing in his pocket than helping poor peoplewalaw shi badihe!!

yeh its stupid , 25 billion $ wont solve a thing , instead it could be invested in usefull projects , providing work for the homeless and the jobless , or it could be donated for medical and other fields of research , thats where productivity is. donating to charity wasnt productive.

I find it hard to believe that someone with 25 billion dollars to donate to charity does not work on improving research fields.
Donating to charity might not be as "productive" as the others but it's the most humane thing to do.

Shou handicapped and underprivileged people with no sufficient education are supposed to be left behind so that people with degrees can get more jobs???
edit: some people are unable to work for a living. Others are orfans...etc, etc...What are they supposed to do?? Fly to china and work in sweatshops making adibas ??

No we should work on both, but that does not mean in any way that donating to charity is a bad move.

edit: What i do find stupid however is rich people who spend more and more money and extravagant houses and luxuries they won't even use or ever need. That money could be put into better use.

Walaw how can anyone hate someone humane enough to "donate" a camaro for each and every member of her crowd! That's money well spent

Apart from that, she does support some charities according to my google results

How much support is given i do not know.

edit: But i did find this interesting article

How Come Oprah Keeps Asking People For Money?

I know everyone just Loves Oprah but It seems like every time I watch her show she's asking people for money. Isn't she one of the richest people in the world? She makes $385 million a year, $1.05 million a day or $43,000 an hour. She wants people from middle to lower class incomes to give their change to help other people who are middle and lower classed.
It is estimated that it cost about $3.00 to feed a child a day. The average cost to take care of a child for a year is about $30,000 a year. Oprah makes more than that in one hour.
If she took one years worth of income and donated it, she could afford the following:



She can buy 385 one million dollar mansions for the homeless





385 one million dollar private jets for people who are waiting for emergency medical procedures





She can buy 96,250,000 Big Macs and give them to the homeless or eat them herself





She can buy 38,500 prothetic legs for disabled veterans at $10,000 a piece





She could buy groceries for 385,000 families. At $100 each she could feed a family of four dinner for one night





She could buy 256,666,666 gallons of fresh water for people who don't have access to clean water





She could buy toddler's and struggling college students 1,540,000,000 packages of Top Ramen





She can employ 14,000 laid off California school teacher's for a year.





And this is where she lives





This is where I live.





Since I can't do any of that, "Oprah! Stop asking me for money!!!!"

edit edit : Yes i know she asks people for money in order to encourage them. That's something to respect. It's just the fact that she can give alot more than what she does that irritates me. I quote one of the people who commented on that previous article

The Oprah show that got me, was the one where she cried when an accountant donated his entire year's salary to the children of the Oklahoma City bombing. It was the end of the year, and I think he was down to his last $1,000.00. She was so touched. I lost respect for her after that episode. The balance of wealth is really out of whack. Oprah could do A LOT more...just imagine what she could do for Haiti with donating one year of her salary? I agree, stop asking me when you have so much. I know how to donate.

If after long time i made a big fortune like This well I think i will donate it to charity,
But i will put a plan to ensure that it will reach the poor and the needed ppl.

I am planning to build a free educational(school/uni/research center) totally free of charge.

Making the world a better place to live is the most noble thing one can do

Warren Buffet wish all rich people has the same vision as you.

Well Done!
