    Australia donates US$765MILLION

    Thats a huge ammount for a country with about 20 mil population

    For the US to match it on a per capita basis they would have to donate about US$8BILLION!! - Thats not a dig at the US BTW... The UK has been even worse

    Its pretty impressive

          Yeah but think how much it is costing the US to get all out ships over there and all the helicopter flights it's adding up to a lot more than anybody. I just hope the money goes to where it's needed it's very corrupt over there,...Great job by the aussies...

                    Get ready for 6 months from now when the media talks about how none of the money went to any victims and how it was just stolen by the Asian governments so they could create golden toilets in their castles. Will you then be sad they raised your taxes even higher?

                        Ignore that, I evidently havent watched the news for days as everyone has upped their amounts...Uk giving £96million but expecting to give more.

                                      Uhm? Not in the hundreads of millions.. if US spent $1.5 billion a day to help all of the world problems, everyone would love the US, and anyone that would try to attack or terrorize the US would be dealt with by the world quick and hard. Same goes for any other country of course.

                                      Imagine if the world had paid for a warning system for those poorer countries. I can't imagine it would even cost $50 million.

                                      Need to be proactive, not reactive. I think the next few generations will realize this, I hope things won't be so horrible by then.

                                                          Not to do comparisons or make one less important than another, but hundreads of thousands died from this, affected many different countries and people of even more nationalities, and the countries and people they did affect are poor compared to the US.

                                                          I know Canada mostly gave morale support but more than that would be dumb considering politics wise the US owes us a lot of money from lumber, ridiculous beef restrictions, and other things that breach the Free Trade Agreement. Of course Canada also let the planes land here, mostly Newfoundland, though the US thanked Nova Scotia (...), and spent a lot on increasing security on behalf of the US, well not only Canada, but everyone did.

                                                            Get a clue, its not a contest. Any country that has donated $350 million does not look cheap.

                                                            Do you think its free to send the ships and other support? Oh yeah the expense of those doesnt count huh?

                                                              I am guessing that they realize how they would have been devistated by something like this, and know that if it ever happens to them, they dont want people saying that they did not help on this one. But either way, two thumbs up for Aussies.

                                                                            ... and people what is all this competing about?
                                                                            Does it really matter who gives the most?

                                                                            Like some one said, I am sure USA will in the end give the most, but that is what should be expected from the largest economy in the world!

                                                                            ok so u say:
                                                                            Does it really matter who gives the most?


                                                                            then you say:
                                                                            I am sure USA will in the end give the most, but that is what should be expected from the largest economy in the world!


                                                                            first it doesnt matter then you say expected, why do they give people computers in stupid countries?

It's just sitting in a Swiss bank collecting dust right now. Then the problem would be solved.

                                                                                  But we're probably just using this to extend our military might! Damn, we're such rotten assholes. Why do we keep torturing the world like this? It must just be for the amusement of Haliburton and Dick Cheney.
                                                                                  All I can say is....you better be glad that I'm not in charge. The Mid-East would be a radioactive zone and we'd have the oil companies in radioactive protective suits in there taking ALL the fucking oil so I can drive my Hummer!
                                                                                  And all the Europeans who hate us? I got nothin' but love for ya! Sure, you're a rude bunch with no manners. And you DO tend to listen to your governments' party lines a little too much. But then again, I guess you have to since they are socialistic and control every facet of your existence.
                                                                                  You probably don't mind it too much. As long as they let you have JUST ENOUGH capitalism to peddle porn with the rest of us and make YOU more money than the poor clowns around you. If you ever get tired of giving all your money away, come on over to the good old U.S.A. We got a big ass country over here full of hot looking women who know how to shave their legs and underarms. Plus all the chicks here REALLY dig guys with foreign accents!!!!
                                                                                  Just think about it...you'd get to actually keep most of the money that you earn...and you'd get to fuck a bunch of blonde haired big tittied bitches!! So stop hating us! Come on over and let's get drunk!

It's just sitting in a Swiss bank collecting dust right now. Then the problem would be solved.
                                                                                        Although I guess we would still have to have that fleet of ships off the coastline with helicopters flying 24 hours a day delivering aid to make the money mean anything.
                                                                                        But we're probably just using this to extend our military might! Damn, we're such rotten assholes. Why do we keep torturing the world like this? It must just be for the amusement of Haliburton and Dick Cheney.
                                                                                        All I can say is....you better be glad that I'm not in charge. The Mid-East would be a radioactive zone and we'd have the oil companies in radioactive protective suits in there taking ALL the fucking oil so I can drive my Hummer!
                                                                                        And all the Europeans who hate us? I got nothin' but love for ya! Sure, you're a rude bunch with no manners. And you DO tend to listen to your governments' party lines a little too much. But then again, I guess you have to since they are socialistic and control every facet of your existence.
                                                                                        You probably don't mind it too much. As long as they let you have JUST ENOUGH capitalism to peddle porn with the rest of us and make YOU more money than the poor clowns around you. If you ever get tired of giving all your money away, come on over to the good old U.S.A. We got a big ass country over here full of hot looking women who know how to shave their legs and underarms. Plus all the chicks here REALLY dig guys with foreign accents!!!!
                                                                                        Just think about it...you'd get to actually keep most of the money that you earn...and you'd get to fuck a bunch of blonde haired big tittied bitches!! So stop hating us! Come on over and let's get drunk!
