Haven't even gotten to the bottom of the 1st page of this thread yet and so far I see an Aussie, a Dane and everyone else arguing back and forth about how far they can piss up a rope...I also notice those arguing the loudest have "I MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY...." or something similiar as a sig....DON'T CARE HOW MUCH THE DANE GOVT, THE AUSSIE GOVT OR EVEN THE US GOVT CONTRIBUTES...so here's a question for you ALL...HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE ANY OF YOU "I MAKE A LOT OF MONEY...." FOLKS PERSONALLY CONTRIBUTED SO FAR...IF ANYTHING YET...??? PLANNING ON IT??? (a simple YES or NO will do)
I ask as I delivered a check for $5000 and a 30' penske rental truck loaded with bottled water, diapers, formula and clothes I went goodwill and bought this morning (for an additional amt of approx $5000) to the American Red Cross Chapter in Raleigh, NC and then took calls there all day, up to about an hour ago...going back in the AM to help with the telephones again...So I ask....are any of you going to actually contribute or let your respective govts do it for your per capita asses??? STOP ARGUING AND DO SOMETHING YOURSELF...I DID...SO CAN YOU DAMMIT |

If people who've written papers on economics impress you so easily, perhaps you should read some of Karl Marx's theories. Oh wait, he wrote a bunch of drivel that millions believed in and it still failed. But I suppose you think he's some kind of authority on what he was writing about. :1orglaugh |

Homeless person on the streets of any town in the world scenario:
person 1 drops .25 in his cup person 2 drops .50 in his cup person 3 drops .75 in his cup person 4 drops $1.00 in his cup person 5 drops $5.00 in his cup the homeless person dosn't give a fuck how much money any of those people make. he's thankful to all BUT PROBABLY THINKS the person that dropped $5.00 in his cup is the most generous. Doesn't really matter what anyone thinks ... just the person getting the Aid :2 cents: |

hello we're not talking about Karl Markx here..but about an economist who did several papers on the subject we're argueing about now.. Let's see...I say per capita statistics play a role when you are talking about aid donation/country....you say it doesnt....I have an economist..(not a fucking philosopher) backing me up..an economist who happen to wrote several papers on that very matter...while you have....hmm well you're personal opinion... ohhh sure the economist can be wrong..i'll still trust him over you ..sorry...(add to this the fact that I actually agree with what he says) |

but if you want to take your "person" example...an american would have dropped 1$ in his cup while a danish would've dropped 10$... But hey..the starving african doesn't care about ALL that...if you explained it to him though, i'm sure he'd understand that the danish is more generous...and that overall, USA gives more money, because their population is bigger... |

hmm well....let's find one and ask him LOL... ;) nah I get the 'more money is better" point... I'm just pissed when AlienQ acts like americans are the only one giving money and are the most generous in the world...and saying stupid shit like "We americans should donate less..no one cares about us blablah" which is just not true...I'm sure every one receiving aid is glad that the USA gives a lot of money...but don't act like you're the only ones donating!.... I mean of course they can afford to give more with a huge population..it's just common sense...fact is, other countries are generous too (and give much more money per capita)...that's my only point!... |
Quote:
and i respect and agree with your point :thumbsup |
Quote:
here ya go! thanks for proving you have common sense! :winkwink: I think the thread took a wrong turn...the point is not to prove that the US is not generous enough...and even less to try to say that their money isnt appreciated! That just wouldnt be true... |

Bottom line is as much as we vote elected officials into office - citizens assert little to no control over anything but what THEY DO PERSONALLY. My wife is one of the most generous and compassionate people I've ever met. Years before we met, when she was in her mid 20's - every sunday she would wake up early and make 50 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She'd drive around the "homeless areas" in San Diego and hand them out to whomever she saw living on the street. My wife had little money at the time but a lot of heart. It was not her responsibility to do what she did BUT it's her nature to be kind and help others. We should generally be thankful to any person or country that lends a helping hand regardless of how much and what % per capita. :2 cents: |
Quote:
That's true!... and :thumbsup to your wife...very few people would do that!... |

Please... Giving Money? We do. What is sad is no other country really helps out the USA. Infact insult to injury many countries insult and degrade the United States for our efforts. Its called Anti American sentiment and there is alot of it. No matter how generous the USA is we are insulted. Frankly this American is sick of it. |
Most of you foriegn twat wanna be webmasters only manage to get Cash from American Card Holders. A great nation you insult and live on and what we do is still never enough.

"Americans goto wake up and stop feeding foriegn ingrate assholes." (that's your own words) and to remind you your FIRST post in this thread: "While the USA has givin billions in AID for relief to other countries for natural disasters and the world community at large places AID and Relief to other countires stricken by natural disasters it will be America that has to bare the burden of paying for our own natural disasters while the world community will sit and laugh and never think twice about helping. We wont see a fucken dime from other nations to help with New Orleans. Yet our Generousity is unparalled in helping others." Fact is...several countries offered their help... What the fuck more do you expect? Since you sent money to Africa, you thought they would send you some back for N.O.??? I'm pretty sure they have other problems to deal with...coutries to which you sent aids wont help you back, they need that fucking money... but other rich countries offered their help..so your whole point doesn't even stand.. |
A question for those that think the total amount is the only important number. By your logic, the US is more genreous than any of the single small countries that donated more per capita. What if, hypothetically, all of Europe became one country and still donated the same amount of money. Would this somehow mean that they were all of a sudden more generous, even though they were donating the exact same amount?
I seriously cannot believe you guys can't grasp the significane of per capita and GDP statistics. Hey, Zimbabwe has better unemployment than the US because they only have 8.4 million people out of work compared to the US's 14.75 million! Hahahah. Jackasses. |
chodadog: .it's worthless :(
I even quoted an economist who specialises in aid donation studies...but somehow we have a better economist right here on GFY... I'm off to bed hehe...choda I think you're in europe...it's your shift now LOL...do your best... and who the fuck needs an economist to understand that per capita statistics ARE relevant when you're dealing with different population sizes and want to compare something |
Hehe, i'm down in Australia. We're pretty far down the list, too.
|
Yeah everything is cool.
The world just loves America... There is no such thing as Anti American Sentiment. America does not give enough. America should give more per person. You fuckers are impossible. |

I read your bullshit. Your useless. Thats all. :1orglaugh |
we are antiamericans and the best part? you can't do shit
we bomb and attack the shit out of you with your own tax money fucking idiots lol |

You're the one who's useless, nothing but pointless patriotism and blindness. But if hatered towards the outside world makes you feel better about yourself, knock yourself out. If you can't grasp something which has been spelled out to you for, what 7, pages.. you're too dumb to understand it. No point in laughing at me, you should just give it up and realize the facts. :2 cents: |

If ya had ya would see the validity and the bullshit these foriegn pukes throw into America's faces everyday. It does not take a genious to see the crap that spews from these bottom feeders keyboards. I myself would rather not see the USA put its efforts into asshole countries and I think some isolationism for America is in order. USA gives alot and at the same time all these fucks berate the US. God forbid an American have some pride... Fuck you people. Get your own credit card pool instead of scamming ours. Its American consumers that feed most of you insolent foriegn ingrates in this industry but ya never stop to insult its people and actions. Eat my soaking dick. |

I doesn't indeed take a genius to see your mindless ramblings. I don't know why I bother, I don't know why anyone does. You're just trying to convert everyone to see how you see things, regardless how they really are. Everyone who disagrees with you is a moron. No wonder you have such anger, everyone else is a moron except you... must be hard on you to live amongst all the idiots. |
HAHAHA he's officially losts his mind...nice

I myself do not do business with asshole foriegners and have deliberatly done business for many years with Americans only. And an Occasional Brit 2 to be exact in 10 years. Eurotrash? Nah... Canadian Trash? Nah... See... I got some principals and if you Canadian fucks are not getting the picture... Many American webmasters are getting sick of your hate mongering and whinning about America. Frankly maybe I am one of the first to just come out and say it. Most of you are weak ingrateful scum bags that do not deserve the time of day. |
and you still haven't seen shit of our master plan. Behind this is old good europe using muslim countries to make you bend. What's gonna be your next move? More likely go and attack Iran, Syria or some other shithole, blow billions, while we sit back and watch. I admit, us, the eurotrashes had been idle for some time, but we are back to our tricks. Get a european history book and you'll see what i'm talking about.
