Lets help the people of Iraq

Lets help the people of Iraq rebuild there country and feed their children.

All the pro Iraq war idiots will tell you that you are just feeding terrorists as all Iraqis are terrorists. These are the same idiots whose parents probably told them all black people will rape white women.

I just did £1000.

Why not just do the minimum $15? $15 can go along way and will mean alot to them

yeah, I wonder what % actually goes to the food

My sister works for Oxfam and she says the with the Red Cross most of it does. The Red Cross is one of the most highly respected organisations in the world.

Good idea R! :thumbsup

OK.. I was waiting till your post fell off the bottom of the page with only one response from baddog who seems to be in a state of wonderment.

It is hardly surprising there is only one response from this generous community when there is stiff competition from threads like "Would you hit this redhead teen?", "Good Morning Mofos !!!!!" and "Guess Who???? Guess Who?????"

And now the good news. Since the "Butcher of Bagdad" managed to feed the population, provide electricity and running water and also a healthcare system, (tho that was fucked more than a little!), until the US elected to invade and bomb the fuck out of the country, - it is more than reasonable that the "invaders" (and anyone else) get off their fatty hamburger asses and pay for the suffering and damage they created and cheered-on, in what was described as "Shock and awe".

The damage suffered in Iraq is greatly in excess of anything that happened on 9/11. The effects of US activity in that region will continue for at least 40 years more and show in birth defects, malformations, leucemia and other cancers in both children and adults - the direct effect resulting from use by the US of depleted uranium.

Of course, your own children and those in your neighborhood are "different" and children elsewhere who live in "shitty countries" (but important enough to bomb), don't matter - that is the way of the more fortunate. These same groups claim they give much to anothers - truth is, they lie. They in fact give very little.

SO... Here's a bump for Relish - and an opportunity to contribute to a remedy to stopping the suffering directly caused by the US and the UK in Iraq.:thumbsup




PS Thanks for instigating this thread Relish - it's the most relevant post on GFY in months :pimp And.. already have a standing order with ICRC

Well, if you knew any WW II vets you might not feel the same way. . . . and it doesn't answer my question.

United Way is better than the Red Cross the last time I checked as far as the % of designated funds getting to the intended destination.

I do know a decreasing number of those who fought in WW2 - and for a number of them, including my own father, - they would not have survived without the intervention of the International Red Cross.

This organisation still remains the prime source of relief assistance over the globe.

Tho agree - the issue is not about any org - it's about providing assistance.

My nan collected for the red cross pretty much up untill she died. All my grandparents in some way fought in WWII. All of them respected the Red Cross.

Thanks Webby for bumping the thread. I was going to let it go to shit thinking all the GFY 'Millionaires' must have lost their credit cards.

If you have a standing order with the ICRC I think I should as well!

I would also urge anyone who thinks they are someone to set up a standing order or atleast be a little generous and just give $15.

And another bump for you Relish! :thumbsup

Agree.. it's one of the rare orgs that still has much relevance long after WW2 and also monitoring and serving well in Iraq right now.

The GFY millionaire's not only forget their credit cards, but try to avoid posts like this - it's a human trait :pimp

Um,

Aren't we all in the US already paying for it?

http://nationalpriorities.org/index....per&Itemid=182

That is the cost of the troops out there. This thread is to try to help the people of Iraq.

Spirit of Iraq is rich

I would rather spend my time and money helping the people in my own community where it is appreciated.

Nothing personal.

But I thought you were up for the war in Iraq so that the bad element that is the threat to the USA could be eliminated? What about helping the good people as they are now technically your community as they are under US control.

Sorry just realised how you dont really care about freeing Iraq from evil and you just want them all dead as only yesterday you posted in a thread that the unborn child of an Iraqi was one less terrorist.

Right little Hitler arent you!

As hard as it may be to believe, you are dumber than I thought.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

baddog stfu you geezer

Baddog has issues. He hates anyone who isnt a white, straight, American. He is the if you are not with us you are against us type guy.

No, you are paying tax dollars for the cost of bombing the shit out of the place and for the construction of the biggest US embassy in the world.

Meanwhile, the children who happen to be still alive and many others are suffering far more than anything Saddam could have placed on them - at least they had power, running water, food and an effort towards a health system.

The dollars you see increasing on the weblink don't pay for the damage caused by depleted uranium. Thats the total of missile costs, Haliburton profits and payment to troops. Other nations and international organizations are footing a lot of the bill for US and UK stupidity - including the International Red Cross.

So bottom line - you have not even started to pay for anything yet - it's all on that "international credit card".

The link for the International Red Cross is on this thread if you want to contribute - discussion about it is not on the table - either do or don't.

In that case do it. There are plenty folks - your own countrymen - who need help after Katrina and been waiting since last year.

If you are unable to give - at least raise the issue with whoever you elected to represent you - so far they have been a dismal failure at helping their own citizens. Fat chance of helping anyone else.

This ain't yet another bullshit thread about how fucking generous the US is and what they consider they have paid already - it's about helping people who are no different to you.

What does his age have to do with jack shit?

I've been to the redcross where I live. Class A office space run by a bunch or know nothing punk kids.

I respect most of your posts, relish xxx. You never post spam. If you do spam, it's for charity, so it's not really spam.

I kicked in my 300$. I hope it helps in some way :thumbsup

Stuff your pathetic one-liners asshole.

Chances are the "know nothing punk kids" have done more in their lifetime to help anyone than your sorry ass.

If in fact, you had the slighest interest in the US Red Cross or wanted to help - you'd have managed something more constructive than a one-liner on GFY.

Well done kilotoons!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup

no comment....

The Salvation Army is also better than the Red Cross.

Not knocking any aid organization, but how exactly do you know the Salvation Army is "better" than the International Red Cross?

Enlighten!

OK Sexxxy Sites - keep your anal retentive ass in order and you can believe every word of the following and should please you in your pursuit of political happiness..




PS.. And for the benefit of the dumb - the above is called satire. :pimp

I don't live in New Orleans, and I contribute plenty to those that need it in the Los Angeles area.

I will not help ANYONE in a foreign country until the starving people in MY country are no longer starving. :2 cents:

Most folks don't live in N.O. either baddog, but that never stopped them trying to help. The one's that do live in N.O. are more than screwed already - and still waiting.

Not knocking ya man - each does what they can and think they should! :thumbsup

Yea.. and exactly what are you doing about it?

looks like a good deed ...
What is it .... really curious.


also, can I photosop it a bit ....:winkwink:

He is supporting the bombing of a sovereign foreign country ... That creates jobs in the US , in that country and gets about 150000 people out of the country!

Iraq and it's people are fucked again....:2 cents:

Don't dare DF!!! Leave baddog alone!! :1orglaugh

Of course... the funding for the missiles was already in place before the hungry of the US managed to get near that BigMac :pimp

Yeah and people voted for bush twice so that goes to show what that is worth.

Yeah actually, I could care less about the plight of Iraqis. Maybe they can try Allah or something.

Damn.. another one-liner that supposed to be very meaningful and contain logic..

Can't wait to see what the relevance is with a President of the US and the International Red Cross. They could not be further apart on all levels.

Nice one baddog!!! :thumbsup

And good to see some folks in this biz actually walk the walk and not talk shit!

Yea.. I know that WC :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Here's a good story.

So I keep a pantry stocked with food, 30 days water for me and my dogs, and dog food. One day, a friend was over and commented saying "do you think you have enough water there?". I thought that was an odd question so I asked him to clarify. Well, he went on to say that most likely if some sort of disaster happened in Costa Rica, the locals around me wouldn't have any supplies either, and that maybe I should have enough water for my immediate neighbors. I realized he had a good point, so I went down to Multi Plaza the next day and added a stock of bullets to the pantry too. That way, there's something for any Tico who thinks their children deserve water before my dogs. :thumbsup

Nice ... Hat off to you .... :thumbsup

Now, can I photoshop it .... :small-smi

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

I feel the same way about my boxes of cigars - the dog can smoke and eat em as well if shit comes to shove! :1orglaugh

I did get Tico'd by my maid last week though.. $100 for Morphine for her 8 year old son dying of cancer in the hospital. It stung handing that over. :(

Thanks, now can I have your email address so that I can add it to my penis reducement pills mailer as I think you are probably a big boy who needs to lose a few inches.

Yea, some shit ain't funny - tho it may have been more painful handing over that $100 bill :1orglaugh

Seriously WC... I am amazed at the people here. First time in my life I was urgently needing medical care and nobody around at that moment. A lady gets me in her car and drives to the... whatever the name of the clinic is near Multiplaza - and got treated there.

During that couple of days in hospital - everyone and their dogs came along to visit - even folks I'd only spoken to a few times.

When it comes to paying the bill.. I wanders along to the hospital office and they tell me I had already paid $800 (which I didn't - I was in no condition to even think of money). It turns out the lady who drove me to the hospital also paid them $800 towards my bill. I'd only spoken to this person a couple of times in passing - she never knew me. Anyways - got a hold of her in the end and returned her $800 and a gift.

The other thing about her is - she is not weathly - just a typical Tico, but obviously with some "values".

Bitch! :1orglaugh

Cima hospital kicks ass, better than anything I've ever seen in Canada. Amazing.
