I mean I could see your point if you were comparing an instance where one individual is giving someone the shirt off his back and his last dollar in comparison to some wealthy person who gave them a larger amount that was only 1% of their daily earnings.
But this isn't a situation of such drastic differences, so I don't understand why you're trying to make it out like that. Without actually running the numbers, I get the feeling that this 'per capita' difference for each person person is going to end up being a few cents for each individual in each country. It's a stupid instance to quibble over or to try to make one group come out as superior to any other.

initially I was just answering AlienQ's complaint...he was saying that USA is the most generous country and blahblah and do not get any help in return for Katrina.... (which is NOT true as several countries offered their help)....
again, I understand your point, I even agree with it to some extent...
just don't play the.. "we are more generous and we don't receive help in return" card...
Fact is there are countries more generous, when you consider how much they give per citizen...
