Since you didn't post the link to the article I had to go look it up and looky what I found.


The $15 million U.S. contribution was an initial one, he said, issued while surveys were conducted.

Story

I swear to god we need a rolling eyes smily on this board.

Ridiculous thread but at least not tasteless like the Johnny Tsunami page.

George dub isnt always responsible for key decisions, remember that playa :rasta

NickPapageorgio:

You just answered that with the post.

needed to repeat.

That was a really stupid post. They should be honored that the US gave them ANYTHING.

Sorry... I just did what i accused you of.

:disgust

dirtyone:

Rolling eyes would have to be the most used icon on this board - tis fucking ridiculous to think that, at least some, grown adults conduct themselves like this :-)

BTW did anyone actually seriously think that $15million was "it"??? DUH??

In which case ya need to get some values of money sorted out in your head :-)

You're right it's not about the money. It's about people running their mouth about my country hoss. The waves haven't had a chance to receed yet and people are already running their mouths about who gave what and how much. That is where my comments were directed.


I'm not trying to start a pissing match but I really don't have much to do tonight so if that's what your after...

Yeah...
9/11 we got a flood f supprt money from other countries...
Only folks helpin out the US on that episode was Saudi Arabia!
EU didnt give a fuck.
UN didnt give a shit sent some workers over, but that was about the extent of there help.
Russia didnt give a shit...
Asia/China didnt give a fuck...
Middle East Cheered Out Loud...

Oh but they were so sad and shocked for us Americans.
I aint no fan of George Bush but it is threads like these and News like this that proves how fucken retarded the world is about America and Americans in general. If ya ask me given the state of the world George shouldnt have sent a fucken penny.

NickPapageorgio:

Oh fuck... one of them!

I sure as hell do not give one flying fuck about "your country", my country or any other country. I also did not run your country down.

You obviously suffer from that "fish tank" disease. Who cares about your country?? Nobody. Tho most folks do care about the people in your country and other countries.

There is a severe problem with the fish tank disease - one of the signs is plenty of "us" and "them" bullshit and flag waving, often with no cause to wave.

Sorry... I don't care about your country - I care about people far more, whether in your country or elsewhere.

Yep...one of them. If you will read back down in this thread, you will notice that you started in on me. Not the other way around. My posts were directed at the thread in general and the attitude that already, the US government had not done enough. You started with the "us" and "them" shit with your "Denmark pays XX amount per head...bla bla bla" So who is it again suffering from the "fishtank" disease? You waved your flag first.
:liebe028:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was anyone starving when you had an earthquake, idiot?

And do you remember how the US was whining for foreign tourists to come to NY in order to support the city by spending some money there?

Typical redneck arguments..."if you don't like move"...fuck that shit called free speech and democracy right? then again you prolly voted Bush so...

NickPapageorgio:

Simply put... that comment about Denmark blah was in response to the utter arrogance in assuming to be the world's saviour (the fish tank again).

I have no interest in Denmark - never came from there, but only stating the facts of life, which obviously hit a sore point.

Do I care if Denmark is top of the league of "giving"? No. Someone has to be and I'd at least give them credit for this.

The US, assuming this is "your country", has done loads of good stuff - that is not in question. Neither was the $15million. "My country" ain't at the top of the list either - I got nothing to boast about!

Who talks the talk then then walks the walk is what matters - not some country bullshit. People matter more than all that - it's a pity many don't think so, judging by this thread. (and.. that is not mean't as a dig at you!)

I do agree here though, this is how it works. Others have given much less yet. I think it's 4 million Euros from the EU which I consider a REAL joke (and I'm from a EU country...)

I'm not a redneck
"if you feel ashamed, move" is what I posted.
Free speech, and Democracy is what makes the U.S. the country I love.
and no, I voted Kerry.
you are wrong on all counts, but you are certainly entitled to your opinions.

:)

NickPapageorgio:


BTW... Fuck knows where Denmark finds the money to do all the stuff they do... some of it is miles away from what some folks would consider "urgent".

Example... Next door to me, they bought 3000 hectares of land (this is no place near Denmark!!), to have a home for wild cats and preservation of them. These are smallish cats up to jaguars and they wander into our land sometimes and kill off a cow :-)

This shit costs plenty money to sustain - I'd hate to think of the tax rates in Denmark! :-)

Yeah but you look good still I bet LOL show some skin!!!!!!

I love how people say that we can afford more - if you numbnuts didn't realize that we are on the verge of bankruptcy. We can't affort to help and give to relief funds, because some stupid president spent a shit load on a war!

Yes I know $15 million isn't much, but we should save as much as possible for the time being.

jDoG

Hey bro, hit me up, I been looking for you on icq....

shut up webby, what do you think the US should do? build the world? hell we already have to police it.

and then all the ungrateful bastards bitch at us LOL

Joesho:

Wot the fuck are you talking about? Duh?

The US will do what it thinks it should do. I ain't got any opinion on that - never ever had.

And I don't assume you are even capable of "building the world" - it ain't anything to do with the US. Kinda stupid comment is it not??

Policing... mmmm... yea.. well...

Reminds me... "fish tank" :-) Try engaging your brain before uttering shit...

Okay you ignorant asshole . . . . let's just say that the US was "whining for foreign tourists to come to NY" - were we asking for handouts? GFY

Shut the fuck up.

If you think those people need money, then empty your bank account and send it to them.

But demanding that the rest of us pay for your little pet project is just stupid and selfish on your part.

Sheesh... We got some of the cream humanity in this lot...

More concerned it is some "attack" on a country...

I'd hate to rely on some of them for a drip of water...

How fucking pathetic and skin deep...

Taxes are high enough.

Less taxes = more people buying porn!

How much did China send BTW?

Sad that so many lost their lives, but we can't help those now. Most of the 15 mil will be misused or stole anyway.

Organizations like the Red Cross are available for aide. Suggest all that are concerned donate through the Red Cross.

pussyluver:

Not a clue! Don't think anyone has sent anything yet - they have little clue as to what is involved. A good number of countries have started the ball rolling with both money and practical assistance, including the US.

Gotta wait and see yet!

The HOUSE decides this stuff morons.

Bush sucks but damn some of you bushwackers just make yourselves look really fucking stupid day after day.


new thread, coming soon.

"George Bush is the anti-christ, devil, the root of all evil and gave me aids"

sping 2005

So the U.S. is supposed to "fuck off! mind your own business! you're not the world police!" unless someone needs something and then they must provide it at once and at any cost or they're FUCKED!?

You would have if you were as poor as most of these countries.
I think your ignorance is only surpassed by your arrogance. Go and travel a bit, you have probably not seen anything beyond your own country yet.

Canada has only sent $4 mill. At least the countries are sending something. I don't believe that $4 million is nearly enough from us, however, it sure beats not getting a red cent. And I am sure that more will go out from both countries.

Calling each other ignorant and asshole and other such stuff hardly solves anything... besides, it's not like there's only one person on each side of this... there's lots who share both opinions. So to call one person ignorant is to call a lot of people ignorant. They're not... they just have a different opinion.

Even some politicians share jawanda's view: http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapc...aid/index.html

Doesn't mean he's right or wrong... he's just not alone in thinking it.

MODS - Can you please close this thread? Although I do believe much of what I said here, I truly regret posting this in such an ugly and hateful way. It was completely unnecessary and I'd appreciate if it was closed. Thanks.

Exactly, the US under Bush is more interested in killing than in saving lives
:feels-hot

Are you an idiot! The US is pledging that upfront for emergency relief. Then the US will pledge individual amounts to each country as it needs it. As always, the US will pledge more than any other country. ALSO - the US the is largest aid to the UN and to the Red Cross. The US money trickles down everywhere!!!

they will probs give more in time

Why don't you read the goddamn thread before posting?
