Leszken,

Are you really going to come out with these outrageous claims without reading what Zynga intend to do with the money? They are giving the proceeds to FATEM, an organization that seeks to create economic independence for Haiti through better education and healthcare opportunities. Whatever your cliched fishing rod vs. fish analogy was trying to say is laughable. No one is trying to give the Haitians a cushy or comfortable life, but provide them with clean water, vaccinations, and schools for their children so they can be better off than previous generations. Ignorance is contagious, so maybe next time don’t just listen to what Mommy and Daddy were saying at dinner about politics.

It bothers me because every time I load farmville I have to look at beady eyes and black faces begging for a handout. I already have to deal with that when I go into town, let alone from another country that refuses to help themselves. I’ve been able to block the outside ads but haven’t been able to block the ads in the flash frame.

Charity can hurt people when beneficiaries learn that someone will solve all their problems. I understand that other peoples suffer makes us sad, but if you want to help someone give him fishing rod and show how to use it instead of giving him a fish. In example look what did Haitian government after earthquake? It was grumbling, that UN troop didn’t brought safety to Haiti.

I wonder how people thought the 10 coins was misleading…If you read it it’s just showing that it’s a low cost ingame amount to lay down the crop and you get 125 coins which is an enormous gain compared to most crops and it can be laid down every 6 hours. You always have the choice to not do this event. Why is it people always want to complain about stuff that doesn’t even matter. If you are going to complain about something do it about things that you don’t have a choice in. Complain if you got horrible customer service if you had an ingame problem but why cry about a business doing a charity event? It might not be the exact charity I would choose on my own however it doesn’t mean it isn’t a worthy cause. Would I like to see a charity that actually involves helping children in the United states since that is where I reside…sure thing I would…but it doesn’t mean that I would stick my nose in the air about this particular charity.

That was so kind of Zynga. Zynga group is not only creative on creating games, they also have a great heart.

The fact that some people consider this “lame” disgusts me. I’m sorry that you don’t like giving away your “hard-earned” Farmville cash, but frankly, there are people that need it far more than you do. What will you use your 25FV for? To buy a nice FV house? Get some holiday exclusive objects? Maybe buy a new freaking animal.

Would you like you be reminded why Haiti needs this money? They need it because their country was completely devastated by an earthquake. So while you sit there, using your FV cash to buy some stupid Farmville accessory, remember that you could have been making a tiny sacrifice just to give some money to people who really need it.

Every donation matters. Every. Single. One.

As for the people who have chosen to donate, I commend you. It’s important that people understand when certain things are more important than Facebook games.

i did not participate in the first programs but i will definitely contribute now, only because now 100% of the proceeds will benefit Haiti. the original 50% donation bothered me.
