Still more bs about countries and how wonderful or crappy they are??? :-)

Sheesh... I'd hate to rely on this lot if I was starving. You'd be having damned committee meetings for a year and blowing each others heads off before ya managed to agree on nothing.

France, the US.. any country is just uttering shit now. Nobody knows enough to even talk money, hence any mention of it is meaningless.

FYI France and Israel were the two countries who had practical aid on the ground first - neither waited to talk shit about money, - they just started helping and will hopefully save more lives.

Curious JT.. Who is on the top of the list right now? It used to be Denmark, but think they make have cut back a bit..

Does this include the donations to Saddam's birthday fund?

thank you very much Webby

that was what i meant in my first post

1. Luxembourg $352.30 per person
2. Norway $307.95 per person
3. Denmark $302.72 per person

Denmark still giving 6 times what the UK gives and 13 times what the US gives

Yes but doesnt include funds to murder Iraqi children

What's the matter Johnny?
Since when do Brits take the defense of froggys?
Peut etre es tu un petit Francais toi meme?

We dont. Unless its against the Americans :smokin

Why such hatred?

Johny Traffic:

Yea... thanks JT!

The Dutch govt has a project going next door to me which we will probably get involved in - hell knows how they find the money for all that stuff :-)

50 dumb ignorants haters !

You guys are so fucking stupid...

The USA has only sent 100,00.00 to each Indonesia, Thailand, and 2 other countries , for a TOTAL OF 400,.000.00 !!!!

The big 35 millions are a pledge, not gone yet, not paid yet....

In fact Japan ( understandably) is doing nore followed by Australia and Saudia Arabia...

Now go back to eat a freedom frie....

Unedicated and uninformed americans ... LOL .

Je suis desolee mais mon Francais est ne pas tres bon

Phoenix:

Nada problem! :-)

Some reality causes a state of denial sometimes :-)

Vive la Révolution !!!

Yea yea King.

The world has it one way of assessing values, but the US has to come up with another deviant way of expressing the same thing to ensure they come out on top.

Hell... even within the OECD the US accepts the figures "as is" without deviation, but has to paint another picture outside for the benefit of "my dick is better". Others just smile....

deux biere sil-vous-plait :glugglug :glugglug

exactly more propaganda for the stupid masses

Bottom line fact...1% of $1,000,000 is more money than 5%of $100,000 and since the US has...by far the largest GNP on the earth...simple math works out well. Per Capita means shit when it comes to total dollars...now doesn't it?

Johny Traffic:

Don't ya just love the French JT?? :-)

They have culture, decent wine (the real stuff) and live in the real world and show social responsibility to all :-)

When ya want to move there?? :winkwink:

The downside is they have common sense and that gets them some enemies :-)

No its doesnt, becuase there are 100 people over in one place that give more than 100 people in another place. Combining European countries to get the same population would meen we would give more by far.

You have alot. You give very little
Others have very little. They give alot.

theKing:

Facts are the bottom line. They are published everywhere and have not been in dispute by anyone - including the US.

Some call that accounting standards.

Im English we dont love anyone :upsidedow

Not even ourselfes :costumed-

"alot"...does not compare to actual total dollars given my the USA. Did you not read that the USA gives more than the other Nations combined...or do you just refuse to believe it.

the whole world has one way of measuring. The US, Fox news and Bush have another

I guess it depends whos version you believe :food-smil

That is assuming that one does not mind the smell. Maybe the US should contribute some soap to France and several other European countries.

Gotta say dude, that did make me laugh for real. Ive had a few drinks and that hit the spot :winkwink:

Using your donations per person numbers and Yahoo's world fact book
it seems the US still donates more.. However I think this method is flawed and I don't think it shows an accurate amount but assuming your numbers are correct it should be close..

United States $23.76 x 275,562,673 (est population) = $6,547,369,110.48

France $104.76 x 59,329,691 (est population) = $6,215,378,429.16

3. Denmark $302.72 x 5,336,394 (est population) = $1,615,433,191.68
2. Norway $307.95 x 4,481,162 (est population) = $1,379,973,837.90
1. Luxembourg $352.30 x 437,389 (est population) = $154,092,144.70

I beleive in the count...when one contributes 1% of $1,000,000...the count is easy...it is more than 5% of $100,000. So the USA gives less per capita but the dollar count is still higher than the other nations combined. So who would you want to recieve aid from the USA or the other nations.

Johny Traffic:

I know... I'm from there!! :-)

Can you see anyone from the UK (or any other nation) standing up and uttering such a load of uninformed bullshit mouth and "my-dick-is-bigger" than what you see from the US?

You notice the defensive manner in any topic? I can't see me jumping to the defence of eg the UK if they conducted themselves like this :-) They'd be getting blasted to fuck!! :-) Must be the "American disease" - the stuff that makes em utter shit like "US hater" and all that crap. Seems there is more "hating" of other nations there than anything I've ever seen.

I just find it embarassing and wish to fuck they were actually aware of reality. Tho can't say the US folks I have working here are anywhere like that - they got more sense than the idiot element of GFY.

Pigshit according to your president:

But you could still be right ... since this Bush is know tro be a liar or fact changer...LOL !!!!

Johny Traffic:

See what I mean by hating?? :-)

They end up with loads of percieved enemies under their beds :-)

What's worse is even the French don't give a fuck and wonder!

Your quote just covers one area of aid provided by the USA and that provided by the government...which does not include private aid.

so? They need money also. Just cause they made water does not mean they should be stingy finanacially

I do not like smelly people...my freedom of choice...being excercised.

This is an extremely trivial debate. People are dead and dying and I believe that most of the countries of the world understand that and will give what they can.

Webby, in response to your comment about Americans being defensive. I agree with you. Americans come off as defensive sometimes. I believe it?s in reaction to a perceived inability to do enough for the world. Sometimes it feels we?re damned either way. It doesn?t matter what we do we will always be looked at as the bad guys.

theKing:

King... what figures do you think are being quoted??? Those of the US Treasury?? The figures quoted ARE those of the OECD G7 countries.

What exactly is disputable about that???

Frankly... I can't be bothered - ya could spend a year in a locked room and still come out with bullshit that suited you, but was divorced from any rational picture all countries know of..

This is GFY a porn webmasters forum :NopeNope

Does anyone even take the French seriously?

The figures show that the USA spends more in total dollars in international aid than other nations combined. Unless you simply refuse to believe it...if that is the case then so be it. I for one do not give a fuck about what you choose to believe...or not believe.
