Yup, likely. They went into Iraq against what the UN (United Nations, countries of the world) said; plus the US owns something like 50% of the world, so I think you're alright for helping yourselves out? Or the Saudi family could pay for a lot of it..

Money is just another word of bartering of services..

AlienQ - You're also forgetting that the USA doesn't really take care of their people / the poor anyway.. so why is it a big deal when there are now a whole lot more "poor" people, who all likely have insurance.. so their insurance will just go up and the government will give them money.

Plus, you'll be bringing in and making a lot of millionaires / already have from the "Iraq War"

I hope Bush is arrested for warcrimes, which he's already guilty of by world laws.

Self ownage! Fucking hilarious! :1orglaugh

No one have said America doesn't give the biggest amount in total.
What we are saying is that compared to what other countries with a smaller population gives the US should give a lot more.
And that when you see what other countries give the US isn't even close to what they should give compared to the other developed countries.

Are you dense? Population means what size your economy is. Meaning,

$1 million dollars to Canada is worth 10 times more giving it away than $1 million dollars to the USA (due to Canada's population being 1/10th the size).

Get it?

Matt

America; the welfare office to the world.

Exactly. Percentage / per capita wise, the USA doesn't give much compared to others.

Matt

You laughing just shows you don't understand.

Done posting in this thread. Can't help the helpless.

Matt

i think the true quality of a country is the size if the penis...not the size of its donations..america rules all......

No, six laughing smilies in a row don't make you smarter. Nor does it make you correct. :1orglaugh

I'm bookmarking this thread for comedy relief.

AlienQ even tho you are controversial you are exactly right and these pieces of shit take American money all the time in the form of customers. Hit em where it hurts.

This thread wins the idiot American of the year award! :1orglaugh

How many Americans believe the bullshit graphs of per capita donations what a crock. Here let em explaine...

Going with 3rd world cry baby excuses and spin graphs that are nothing more than a feeble attempt to compare financial donations of the worlds governments by citizen to downplay just how much the USA does give financially?

LOL!
Those sorta graphs do nothing more than say if there were 3 billionairs on an island and were the islands only inhabitants and they donated 250 million dollars total that they would indeed have donated more than Denmark citizens per capita and be the primary donating body of the world in financial aid!

You really are the most stupid person I have ever come across.

Do you really not understand or is it just your board personality, you think that if you talk shit all the time that somehow you will become well known?

I suppose that could work.......

Per Capita does not mean shit.

Its a spin and farce that demonstrates a population of 260 Million people (The USA) gives less than a population of 60 Million per citizen. Which is utter bullshit.

Count the fucking dollars, not the fucking spin in comparisons of population.

How is that by the dollar the USA gives more than any other nation as a whole, seemingly is not so generous? Just put in "Per capita" and voila!

Such utter bullshit.

Charity begins at home. Its sad and disappointing that we give so much to other countries who hate us while we have our own people living and dying on the streets everyday.

I'm pretty sure AlienQ is just fucking around

no one can actually "NOT" understand per capita statistics...

"We give more money...population doesn't matter" haha come on you gotta be fucking kidding...how do you expect Denmark to give more then the US? Maybe they could give 95% of their pay checks to Aid??? Fact is they give 200+$ PER CITIZEN...while US gives like $23.....you can't be that dumb...

and...venezually did offer their help!

Let's put it that way:

America gives more money to aid than denmark...

But your average Danish guy gives 10x more money to aid than your average american...got it?

Following your stupid logic....USA have more unemployed people than Canada, UK, Denmark, France, australia etc...

does it mean the unemployment rate in the US is the worst one of all those countries?? NO it doesn't.... because USA have more populations than all those countries...

This statistic is even more revealing: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/eco_eco_aid_don_gdp

This shows foreign aid donations as a proportion of GDP.

The USA gives a whopping 5 cents per $100 of GDP in foreign aid and comes in as the 21st most generous country in the world.

Australia gives three times as much and Denmark almost 20 times the US figure. :winkwink:

Umm duh...

But Dollar for dollar...

America gives the most.
Ya guys are disputing this fact by throwing in "Per Person" which is kinda lame excuse to downplay how generous the United States is.

Not to mention the fact that the world community is not going to give a fucking damn about New Orleans. Americans outah wisen up to the bullshit rhetoric that other nations use to make Americans feel guilty by not giving more when we have fucken busted our asses for everyone else in the world.

How much did America recieve in Aid for Osama's guys that hit the trade center? Not much, except a middle finger.

American people got to wake up and realise the rest of the world does not give a mother fuck about us.

again...following your logic...

Person for person... USA is the most unemployed country!....

Wait...no .... that's false... Because it only has more unemployed person because it has a BIGGER POPULATION

Fact is...Danish are more generous...eh...

A quick search shows that Russia, UK, France, Venezuela(!!) and Canada have all offered assistance. Im sure if you delved into it a bit you could find a lot more.

don't sweat it...people dont care about Canada eighter...

I read this:

What bunch of crazy crap that is...
Selling weapons allowing migrants to work are offsets in the per capita factor as well...

LOL! OMG.A bunch of United Nations Hedgemony

Sheesh.. there are some really dumb people around who have nada clue about fuck all.

Apart from that target of US hate, Chavez, offering help, even the criticised "muslims", specifically Saudi is attempting to help by bailing out some more oil to keep the price down as a result of Katrina.

The mentality that claims per capita mean shit has got to be fucking joking! :1orglaugh

Meanwhile.. it may be stressful, but can the people in the middle of this shit at least keep some dignity and try and help others around em instead of looting the fuck outta the place. OK so they need food - so go and get it, but try to avoid looting the jewellery stores on the way by! Rest assured they won't be alive if they wait for govt help.

This thread is hilarious. No need to comment. Alien is doing more than enough to embarrass himself.

I managed to drag all the trolls out;)

Ditto, self ownage at it's finest. :1orglaugh

yea and how many low interest loans do we give out to all these countries that doesn't get counted as aid. There is a lot more this country does to help out other countries than just foreign aid. So how much money do you guys invest in other economies to help keep them going?

Hell we even help train your fighter pilots and sell you military equipment to help protect yourselves from getting taken over by the germans again. But hey lets see how much of your tax dollars would go to forgien aid you you guys had to build your own fighter jets and military equipment.

geez, I refuse to believe anyone can be as dumb as AlienQ in this thread.

I don't know if the training of the fighter pilots is free or we pay for it but I do know that the US don't pay anything for having a base in Thule.
You know allies help each other out.
We pay the market price for every fighter jet or any other military equipment we buy. We are involved in developing the new Euro fighter so please that this BS somewhere else.

I would hope that nations around the World do step forward and offer help.

I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. :1orglaugh
