Members SGB Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I for one think that it's appalling that when any natural disaster occurs in the rest of the world that nations jump at the chance to come to the aid of the people involved in the disaster. The United States is always the nation that gives the most in these situations! When the tsunami hit in the pacific we even got criticized by Muslim nations (and there biggest supporters, U.S. Democrats!!) because according to them we weren't giving enough or giving fast enough to satisfy them! So I ask everyone on the board, where are the pledges from other nations to help with OUR disaster? Does anyone know of even one offer to help from any nation?? I haven't heard a peep!

Ken Lay will be the chairman, and Haliburton will manage the funds. Plan should be implemented as soon as W and Cheney return to the office from their vacations. I think you can sleep tight, at least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jaybird Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I think it's time to pick up the political philosophy of our 1st great President, the original "G", George Washington. His basic premise was to try to stay out of other countries affairs, and stay focused on ourselves. If we gave the rest of the world the big "F U", kept our aid money and spent in on our own country, I'd think we'd be better off overall. There always is the problem of obtaining oil, nuclear fuel, and cheap slave labor to make our Levi's cheap, but oh well, it's nice to dream...

Members danyeo Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by SGB Oooooooookkkkkkk. Amusing but I don't get the point. If you found it amusing then that was the point. And just because you don't "hear" a peep about aid to the US it doesn't mean the it's not happening. What are your sources about "hearing" about things. Remember, the American press doesn't like to report good news. They want people like you to be be pissed off about this subject. We have lots of allies that will help us out. But i won't hold my breath for a second that France will give the US a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members potaetoes Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 would you like the Masai to send more cattle, like they did after the WTC attacks? there are efforts worldwide to organize aid. Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Canada, Austria, and many others are organizing efforts, as well as lots of individual citizens worldwide offering help. just because you're not hearing about it doesn't mean it's not happening. bitching about it makes you no different than the people who were bitching about not getting enough help from us after the tsunami, so shut the hell up.
