why do people do this, it is obscene, when we have starving homeless in outr own country, do people lose there minds in bali or what.
maybe just the selfish streak in some who wont to be stroking there own EGO's??????
they will most likely have sold the pig already and spent the money.
i have friends who paid for a business for a family so they can have money for there kids for school- they are still poor cause they use the money everyday for crap and most balines e do not know about saving- and the kids no better off
It is part of their relious belief to live day to day
thats why they smile after terrorism, not like us tht would be having grief counseling etc, they just smile and believe tomorow is new day and it will all be OK
that is a good simple way to be
so many people give money in bank accountb s to balinese to help them too, but usually the ones who eccept have about 10 other tourists doing the same thing you know??/
do they get rich or live OK - NO
they waste it
much better to give to smudge or helen or the bomb victims wifes fund, because they make sure it gets to the people in a helping way.
heaps of kids and families in oz need your help
we have farmers battling top feed there familys
the bomb victims wifes earn there money , thats great and will help them long term, hey
think about it???
