jeez :rolleyes:

My point was more the fact that everyone blasted the US for not giving a billion dollars at a drop of the hat for the tsunamis.

This is really fucked up. Just rebuilding the I-10 bridge going into New Orleans will cost more than rebuilding the huts from the tsunami.

Uh... I\'m with every  one sane here.

The US = rich, rich country
Thailand = 3rd world country (and 200,000 dead)

So tell me why RICH and NOT MANY PEOPLE DEAD = aid from poorer countries?

I\'m kinda baffled you\'d even think this. However, I could imagine sending ppl and other stuff to help out, but money? Hell, you use more in Iraq in a month than it\'d take to rebuild...

with you on this soully.

only thing I have a problem with is when US got criticized for tsunami AID.  Imo you should never criticize someone giving aid, no matter how big or small.

Besides we\'re the US, we do whatever the hell we want. ;)

so you have to be poor to receive aid when in time of need?  We\'re not asking thailand for money, but a little support from europe would be nice.

Oh and I\'d love to see a quote with that little Iraq war stat you pulled out of your ass.

We use more money in Iraq in a month, pull out that stat.  Wait, let me save you the time, you won\'t be able to.  It\'s just how quick people are to jump on the U.S. but god forbid we turn it around on them any.  I\'m not saying we need money in any way but don\'t be surprised when someone makes a post like this pointing it out.


PS THX when did soully post in here?!??! :eek:

The whole "Oh they\'re rich, they can take care of it"-argument, is such horseshit. Like Boz said, we\'re not talking to third world countries with are arms outstretched, it just would be nice to see any modernized country to send aid. Either way I don\'t want this to turn into a pissing contest, its a shitty thing that has happened, there are people (I know Canada is sending medical crews) providing what they can, and I\'m grateful for that.

Won\'t donate a penny. We are the richest country - we can afford this and not that many people died.

Not to mention we are not the most liked country. Let\'s face it, even if someone doesn\'t like you, they\'ll take your aid, but they won\'t give back.

Oh well. Shit happens.

strange that nobody\'s helping out, but when I walk around little old Iceland I see posters everywhere for donations because of this, and for some reason an avalanche rescue team is gearing up for a trip to the states, now this is coming from one of the smallest nations in the world so you seriously think no help is coming from Europe.

Again, I\'m kinda baffled to see why the richest country on the planet should receive aid from other countries. It\'s like Bill Gates asking his neighbours to help finance his mansion, since they helped rebuild a ghetto part of town...

Besides, Denmark had an storm a few years back that destroyed a whole lot of shit - the whole thing costed billions of dollars (it wasn\'t on this level though, but then again Denmark is much smaller). We didn\'t cry out for other countries to chip in. I could understand if we were talking about Niger or something, but a rich European country or the US? Bleh.

I think we, need to start collecting debts from all the countries we have helped. I think it is also time to deal with all the looters, they need to declare martial law and just start shooting these people, they are not helping the situation by stealing supplies

I really don\'t know much about the looting situation but from what i\'ve seen most stolen objects relate to food, and food relates to survival. I Don\'t think anyone is stealing HDTVs that are submerged in water.
