Were you one of the millions of people who gave money to the Red Cross after the earthquake hit Haiti? Turns out, contrary to what the Red Cross is telling the public and donors, they've terribly mismanaged the funds and failed in almost every goal they set themselves.

Heck, according to this article, they didn't even get close. Like many organizations it appears as though the head didn't know what the body was doing and both didn't seem to have the Haitian's best interests in mind with fraud, waste and padding subsidiary Red Cross groups being the focus of their spending.

Jason ON​​​ I read the article I just found it so political that it was not as clear as if they had internal problems that was causing them a lack of ability to deal with the external red tape...being the optimist I am I had hopes that the Red Cross ran on opposite numbers where they gave 75-80%
& the salaries and running cost was no greater than 20%...barry

Jason ON it appears that in several charitable organizations that of the 100% only 5-10% goes to the cause and the rest goes to salaries an running cost that are much exaggerated at the same time they are dealing with internal
Payoffs to Haiti.. being an optimist I had hoped that the Red Cross was a worthy cause and it's running cost was opposite of the reality..b

Well, if you read the article, it states pretty clearly that they did run into some red tape, most of it from not knowing how to work with the Haitians, which one would expect of an international aid association. Per the article, other agencies and NGOs were able to work with the Haitians to rebuild or build, just fine.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
