Poll - which would you choose? to supply food to an entire 3d world country, or get a fancy ring?

Question

Ok, well i was watching vh1 yesterday, about the biggest celebrity splurges.

Gwen stefani wore a one million dollar hairclip. OMG! and you think that was the worst of it? no.

the number one celebrity splurge, was t pain - wearing a 6 million dollar ring.

6 million dollars.

shocking.

these are their houses http://www.glamorati.com/celebrity/wp-co...

now compare that to this - a woman who wanted a simple down to earth life and is now living in an 84 square feet house.

this is ridiculous. i cannot believe how these "celebrities" are acting.

for example, take miley cyrus. she recently wrote a whole song called "wake up america" about taking care of the earth.

well, this is her house http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...

hmm, i wonder how much energy it takes to keep that up and running!

isnt this ridiculous.

with the 6 million dollars that was spent one one ring - - if you just took one 6th of that amount, (one million dollars) you could use it to...

- you could buy 2000 cows for a village in a third world country, and supply 2000 families with a cow that could give them milk and keep them sustained

- you could buy 5,000 families a flock of 5 or 6 chickens, to give them eggs.

- save over 30 acres of rainforrest.

can you believe this?

Answer 1

If I think too much on this sad topic I might pass out. It's amazing how the people who really want to help the poor are the one's who are struggling to help themselves and the ones who can feed the world are buying 6 millions dollar rings. I won't think too hard on it, but to answer your question I'd rather feed the world than get a stupid ring.

Answer 2

Didn't you already ask this? =) Anyways, I DO think buying a ring for $6,000,000 or spending  $1,000,000 on a friggin' hairclip is phucking ridiculous. But just look at what some [smarter] celebs have done with their money:

Answer 3

i know i would help the world not F***n spen that much money on a thing u will only wear oncec

Answer 4

before i say anythin i just need to say that none of your sources work.

now, i recently went down to the dominican republic for a service trip. while its not quite a 3rd world country, it comes pretty close. i saw how the poorest of the poor lived and it changed me. if you asked me this question a month ago i would of said "so what, its their money, its their business, they can do whatever they want with it". i still believe that. but now i feel as if i have to say that your absolutely right. i wish everybody could do what i just did so that they could see what is happening. six million dollars will go a LONG WAY. something needs to be done. we cant just give a country money and walk away. we need to also go there and experience how it is so that we know exactly where to spend the money.  

Answer 5

this is what I ask to all the liberal Hollywood Democrats when they get on the soapbox and tell me I need to sacrifice and give give give give, i.e., Clooney, Streisand
