The world is thankful for your aid. But how much is military equipment in Israel and Columbia going to help the people of indonesia and sri lanka?

Anyways, you can be a scrooge all you want...i just hope you are damn thankful you are not living in these affected areas...Some of us are not fortunate enough to choose our birthplace. The least we can do is help when times get tough.

Tell me why an increase of spending is bad??

read the article in my last post, and stop believing the propaganda your gov't is feeding you about the U.S.
we are not a "scrooge". we are the most generous country in the world.

we are going to give over a Billion dollars to this tradegy. now stfu.

OK city...damn muslims!!

Wow, what did you prove with that statement? The next terrorist activity before Oklahoma City? World Trade Center bombing! Wow, damn muslims!

I'm not trying to pick on muslims but the fact is this, nearly all terrorists are muslims. I never said all terrorist acts were commited by muslims.

well there are tons of terrorists everywhere...they feel the need to voice an opinion. I don't like how they do it...but i am upset how muslims are singled out.

IRA?...Chechyns?...African guerilla attacks?(borderline i know)...all by non-muslims.
But i think you see my point...it is just a matter of political correctness...not intended to start a full out arguement.

I am aware that if an attack on the US occured today...i would guess it was a muslim.
if there was one in ireland...non-muslim.

i'd try to understand why some muslims have an anti-american sentiment...then try to avoid it

But in non-foriegn countries...OK...making a small point...

We are not talking about whether U.S should or shouldn't increase the aid. We are talking why there aren't lots of help from other Muslim countries. Let's say more Muslim countries help and U.S increase spending that will equal to MORE help. Most countries blame U.S for a lot of problems in the world but they also demand more help from the U.S :disgust:

I was referring to the "military equipment" statement, totally ignoring the part about Israel and Columbia.

You are basing it solely on what the American government gives, but don't see the part about the 1200 marines deployed nor the part about the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln which is now stationed in the area. That's where the food, water, and other aid is being launched from.

You have to be a muslim country to help now...
hrmm, seems to me that we give aid to all races and religions, this is shown by the gererousity of the rich western world.
I agree that the muslim countries should donate, as i think all countries should donate.
My guess is they are scared to use up precious resources as they feel the need to upgrade weapons as the US has created a lot of instability in the middle east.
top arms buyers to the US: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. The debt to gdp ratios (102%, 95%, 109% respectively) are some of the highest in the world. Youd think these countries are rich, but they really aren't. Aimster pointed that our many posts ago.

I did read your link. 1billion equates to $3.3 per person...can you dispute that?...no. and i said thank you for the generous donations...

you want your article...here:

Measured another way, as a percentage of gross national product, the OECD's figures on development aid show that as of April, none of the world's richest countries donated even 1 percent of its gross national product. Norway was highest, at 0.92 percent; the United States was last, at 0.14 percent.

OMG dude... I never said ONLY muslim countries must help. U.S IS HELPING right now!!
You thanked U.S for helping in 1 post and you blamed the U.S in another post that I quoted above. Looks like you think that U.S government is obligated to help :disgust:

*EDIT*
Just saw your last post, again it seems that you are expecting/demanding U.S to help and to help more.

Not obligated. But looks really bad when the rest of the world is putting in a considerable effort...and where is the global superpower?...the leader of the free world?...the promoter of rights and wellbeing?...putting $150billion into a country where even more people are dying.

It's interesting to see the role the US is chosing.

I'm saying that it seems you are quick to blame U.S for problems, now even when the U.S is helping and still continue to help, you are still blaming the U.S (not enough help, stingy, etc).

Not aid last year which is useless right now in southeast asia.

But if you want to drag this out...you might as well point out how well the $150billion is doing in Iraq.

I'm saying that it seems you are quick to blame U.S for problems, now even when the U.S is helping and still continue to help, you are still blaming the U.S (not enough help, stingy, etc).

I glad the US is helping.
What is a fair amount to donate?...and why are nations from around the world donating so much more per person?

The world is thankful for your aid. But how much is military equipment in Israel and Columbia going to help the people of indonesia and sri lanka?

Anyways, you can be a scrooge all you want...i just hope you are damn thankful you are not living in these affected areas...Some of us are not fortunate enough to choose our birthplace. The least we can do is help when times get tough.

Tell me why an increase of spending is bad??

read the article in my last post, and stop believing the propaganda your gov't is feeding you about the U.S.
we are not a "scrooge". we are the most generous country in the world.

we are going to give over a Billion dollars to this tradegy. now stfu.

$3.3 per person...that's getting there.
the world thanks you for your donation

the key word is "potentially", and again...i hate to sound like a broken record...but timeliness will save money, lives and suffering.

waiting to see how it goes is not cool with disease and famine spreading.

ferchrissakes, you STILL didn't read the article i posted and linked.

I did read your link. 1billion equates to $3.3 per person...can you dispute that?...no. and i said thank you for the generous donations...

you want your article...here:

Measured another way, as a percentage of gross national product, the OECD's figures on development aid show that as of April, none of the world's richest countries donated even 1 percent of its gross national product. Norway was highest, at 0.92 percent; the United States was last, at 0.14 percent.

IT'S NOT A FVCKING CONTEST! JUST BECAUSE YOUR SH!TTY FROZEN HELLHOLE COUNTRY DONATES MORE PER PERSON THAN US DOESN'T MEAN YOUR E-PENIS IS BIGGER THAN OURS! STFU AND GO SUCK ON A BEAVER LOG!

Hehe...here's one person upset that the US is not taking a leadership role.

ps. your epenis will always be bigger than mine

Gee whiz, what's our national debt? $7,596,165,867,424.14? Somewhere around there? Let's give them $7.6 trillion and double our National Debt.

And I bet that's still not enough to satisfy you. Is it, Stunt?

No i think that would be far too much.
Your debt to gdp is 70%...you are sitting far better than the middle eastern countries.
Actually 70% is pretty good relative to the rest of the world
