Besides that statement was only made to the poster that scoffed at providing goats and ducks, world vision has many opportuities to look out for anyone, be it schools, or school supplies for children, bikes for the safety of teen-age girls, opportunities for families.
First, my comment was for the individual to decide for themselves which makes more sense to them not to deride World Vision. I'm very supportive of their variety of "gifts" you can give through World Vision. However, my open-mindedness toward other charities seems to be something that you lack. For you it seems it's World Vision or nothing.
Second, for those who feel that charity should begin at home, why not purchase the two computers and give the one you are to receive to a local charity? There are many people in the U.S. that prefer Linux to MAC or Windows and this would give them the option.
