The problem with charitable organizations is that they take the pressure off of the government to provide for the citizens. Instead the politicians are free to spend tax money on their favorite projects and buddies. If people were really serious about helping out the poor and disadvantaged they wouldn't give a penny to any charitable organization. By continuing to do so they allow the government and businesses to continue to screw over everyone.
If you want to help someone then directly help your extended family members who are in need. You have a lot of them.
Sorry but I think that sentiment (and maybe you) are fucked up.
Have you forgotten that charity begins at home?
