    WTF France only sends 100k Euros for tsunami?

    Are you kidding me? That's hilarious. Such big mouths, with so little pockets.

    100k euros right now = 136k us dollars.

    Thats embarassing.

    LOL

      And we're the stingy ones? The U.N. should be desolved and we should build a new international organization. Oh, and countries like Syria shouldn't get to be the chairman of the anti-terrorism committee and China shouldn't be able to head the human rights committee.

              France was the first country to have a team on the ground...they began making fresh water for people immediately.

              That will probably save alot of lives.

                          "FRANCE: Foreign Minister Michel Barnier in Sri Lanka, then Thailand. Has earmarked 100,000 euros for relief, sent 16 rescuers to Thailand, 10 tons aid to Sri Lanka"

                          yea 26 people and 100k big spenders they are...


                          Also WTF is with these other countries only sending 2 million? I mean sure 2 million is better than Frances measly 100k but common only 2 million from an entire country?

                          Shit Bill Gates will probably donate more money than that. Hell Amazon.com has raised almost 2 million in 2 days from their website and freaking entire countries can only send 2 million?

                          IMO Even the US is being a little skimpy as we have only pledged around 30 million but I know that will go up over the next few weeks. Then add the countless private donations will probably easily equal that number so we will more than be putting our fair share in.

                          But really WTF is with some of these other cheap ass govts?

                            you call france stingy? yep, they should donate more, totally agree.. but:

                            "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."

                            that is not for this tragedy, but still.. the United States was last!

                              you can give all the money in the world...that is nice and all...but what the average person living there is going to need..is clean drinking water.

                              it wil be the number one cause of death soon.

                                  I live in France and the gov takes me about 50% of my revenue. I really don't know what they are doing with it.

                                    what do you think is going to pay for the water and food needed? Much less the disposal of bodies and medical treatment for the living. Money is more important than water because with out money they will have no water.

                                        I don't follow your logic.

                                        the water is everywhere...and people are going to die of thirst soon..so they will start drinking the water...then they will die.


                                        France sent in a team which has been purifying water non stop since they got there.

                                            The 100k ? was only for the victims in Thailand, and was released on Monday.
                                            Today, the french government released 15 millions ?.

                                            Still not enough, though.

                                              It seems the end of their illegal oil contracts with Iraq has finally taken its toll.

                                                that is not for this tragedy, but still.. the United States was last!
                                                You're right and I think the U.S. will give more as things progress. I'm not sure who it was I heard on the news but he made the point that if you donate all the money at once it may not end up being spread properly throughout all the countries effected.

                                                    the water is everywhere...and people are going to die of thirst soon..so they will start drinking the water...then they will die.


                                                    France sent in a team which has been purifying water non stop since they got there.

                                                    Water is life

                                                    That water is sea water it has salt in it.. add to that it's contaminated from oil, fuel and everything else that was washed away. Where do you think the disease will come from they are talking about? Contaminated water and food.
                                                    In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                      dude...i am really not following you now.

                                                      the water is all contaminated, it has dead bodies floating in it..you can not drink any of the water there....not even one sip.

                                                      Strong North americans can last about 7 days with no water...then they die.

                                                      Usually your body will force you to drink whatever water you find around the 4-5th day. You will not be able to help yourself.

                                                      Oh and sorry to burst your bubble..France just gave up anoter 15 million euros.


                                                      do all americans really hate france that much?

                                                                    so luckily for many of the survivors..france had a team of professionals on the ground and making clean water for them
                                                                    You really think your team of 26 Frenchmen is going to get water to these thousands if not millions of people in need? The Red Cross and other organizations most certainly do ship containers of bottled water to these affected areas on a very large scale.

                                                                    Shit even here in the US they shipped thousands and thousands of bottles of water here to central Florida after the hurricanes. Shit if we would have had the 26 Frenchmen here, they would saved the Red Cross millions.

                                                                    I'm not going to argue with you all day.. so believe your 26 Frenchmen will make water for everyone that's cool.

                                                                      At the airport in Bangkok, other governments had set up booths to greet nationals who had been affected and to help repatriate them, she said.

                                                                      That was not the case with the U.S. government, Wachs told her mother. It took the couple three hours, she said, to find the officials from the American consulate, who were in the VIP lounge.

                                                                      Because they had lost all their possessions, including their documentation, they had to have new passports issued.

                                                                      But the U.S. officials demanded payment to take the passport pictures, Helen Wachs said.

                                                                      The couple had managed to hold on to their ATM card, so they paid for the photos and helped other Americans who did not have any money get their pictures taken and buy food, Helen Wachs said.

                                                                      "She was really very surprised" that the government did so little to ease their ordeal, she said.
