You guys are disappointing. I thought at least some people might give this a genuine thought and see what they can come up with. Everyone's either too jaded to think a million dollars can do ANY good ANYWHERE, or they're too busy trying to make a cheap joke.

hmph.


Oh wahhhh.

I'm a conceited mini-psuedo-intellectual on internet satiate my ego. Wahh. You guys don't put the superior big brained thought of thinkingness into your repsonses and it offends my ability to think big thinks. WAHHH.


But seriously. A million dollars doesn't go far. And I can't think of anything I'd do with it other than help myself.

I don't know. A million isn't going to make any real change by itself. It's enough for, maybe a barn or something. If I did have money enough to actually make a difference in and of it self for a decent chunk of people, I'd probably invest it into getting Haiti's economy off the ground. Really no matter how much money you have trying to give people food or straight up charity only postpones the inevitable. If you can get people an their own feet doing things for themselves, that would really be something to be proud of. Even if you were just a small part of it. Cash and food donations have their place, but they are only stop gaps. Long term charitable investments are where it's at. That means things like developing infrastructure, founding centers of education and giving interest free loans to promising businesses.

Now, I don't know in what type of barn you were raised, but $1mil could raise more than one.

I would buy a mouse and a cat and give them to a starving family on Christmas.


Then with the rest I would spend it on myself. Since I am part of the planet, making myself happy seems like it would at least help that 0.000,000,001% of the planet. :ninja:
My blawgh.

I'd buy styrofoam and burn it in protest of Ron Paul.
