Is it at least made out of steel? Or is it wood? lol

I know that this can not compare on the death toll, but I was in South Florida when Hurricane Andrew cam in and destroyed almost all of Miami Dade County. I worked in the County for 4 months after the storm, and watched a ton of people trying to pick up the few things of their lives that remained.

And I never once saw a foreigh aid worker show up to help, and not a dime came in to the US for the reliefe of those people.

So if you dont think that the US has given enough with 35 million, you can kiss my American Ass and Suck my American Dick, and send the 35 Million back.

Why does the US have to pay for everything in the world.

Bump for the people that are still bitching about what aid the USA supplies to the world.

Quote:
The White House also defended the U.S. record of giving.

"We outmatch the contributions of other nations combined; we'll continue to do so," Bush spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters in Crawford, Texas, where the president is spending a post-Christmas vacation at his ranch.

Natsios said the Paris organization's figures overlook a key factor -- the billions more Americans give each year in private donations.

Americans last year gave an estimated $241 billion to charitable causes -- domestic and foreign -- according to a study by Giving USA Foundation. That's up from $234 billion in 2002. The foundation did not break down how much was for domestic causes and how much for foreign.

"That's a European standard, this percentage that's used," Natsios said. "The United States, for 40 years, has never accepted these standards that it should be based on the gross national product. We base it on the actual dollars that we spent."

"The reason is that our gross national product is so enormous. And our growth rates are so much higher than the other wealthy nations."

milambur · 12-29-2004, 12:54 PM

Get real man, the EU and it's memberstates gives so much more international aid then the US ever will. Check the OECD homepage if you don't believe me. As for private international aid, why would that be higher for the US then for the EU? EU have higher GDP then the US and should be able to contribute more.

bringer · 12-29-2004, 12:59 PM

posting that here is a waste of time
didnt you know everyone hates the us until they need troops or money
once the checks in hand they bitch about the amount

thats bullshit... I'm always curious what your news sources are? trailer park news?

Webby · 12-29-2004, 01:15 PM

Who the fuck gives a toss about which damned country claims to give more.

Only assholes like King manage to introduce some political bullshit into any subject in the fear "his country" might be getting criticism. That's just Kings disease.

Nobody knows much about what the extent is - even yet, tho most countries have muttered about the financial side. Many countries and orgs now have practical aid aready there or on the way - it is more relevant that immediate help be on the ground.

As a comment on Kings shit - It does not matter what the US govt have pledged - they don't know either what the degree of damage is and it is impossible to talk money with any sense. I have no doubts the US will do much to help along with the rest of the international community.

I'm sure all nations will contribute substantially to what is appearing to be the largest disaster in our lifetimes.

Can you learn something before you utter crap saying other posts are bullshit?

Can you read?? The "trailer park news" is published in the message about aid.

Next we will hear how the OECD faked a load of figures to make the US look bad in some way and how they need to be discredited.

Sheesh... help the clueless and brain dead...

You did not pay attention...did you. DirectFiesta posted one link for a source of information...which clearly states that the USA gives more aid than all other nations combined. This is actual total aid given...not per capita percentages.

It clearly states that it's the opinion of a US official that the US give more money then all other countries combined. But what has that to do with facts? I think Americans give more in internal aid then any other country, but that is because your system is very different from that in Europe where the social security is alot better.

Hear hear! The U.S. has and will commit a great deal of money and aid to the stricken areas. No matter how you may feel about the U.S., it has always been a country that steps up to help when help is needed (in most cases and YES, there have been sometimes when the U.S. did a major fuckup..but what country HASN'T?)

All in all, it's so damn petty to do the old: My country is better than your country because..

andrej_NDC · 12-29-2004, 03:43 PM

You stupid fucks, there are people dying, kids, husbands, wives... and you fight each other about who donated the most money? Fuck that.
