Its more than throughing out a few bags of rice. But I think nothing anyone says will change your mind. You just dislike amarica for what it is.
Well people in america don't really agree with you. You produced neary a fact you just talked about how bad we are. Tell me about the devistated peoples, lets hear about these bad things our nation is guilty of. You just keep calling us stupid and our leaders nutjobs. Back it up. One mans opinion is just that. How about facts.
Bags of rice, bottles of medicine, planeloads of money (you're welcome, Zimbabwe), military aid, low interest loans and gov't investments for businesses in poor countries... I could go on if you want.
Many religious beliefs have far reaching consequences but if he chooses to fly in the face of geological evidence then thats up to him. I would be more bothered by the fact that someone with what I would say are rather outlandish ideas has been chosen to help run the lives of thousands of people.
But then again, religious ideals already do that.
I stand in the wings and view the religious counting their beads, chanting their mantras, swinging their incensce,prostrating themselves etc etc and wonder at it all.
Yes I could go on as well,like the money America promised to Haiti after the earth quake has still not been paid. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead,tens of thousands of Afghanis dead..a few thousand Pakistanis dead..etc etc etc..
A lot of the Haiti money is tied up into NGOs and the like. There is a lot of politics in it as is usually the case. Not an argument against America or its citizens which donated so much. But to Giap it doesn't matter because it is quite clear that he is making an irrational argument out of his misguided hatred.
"Our goal must be the empowerment of the Haitian people," Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, told the conference. "They are the ones who will carry on the work of rebuilding Haiti long after our involvement has ended."
Yet the UN data shows that Venezuela and the US, which promised the lion's share of aid – more than $1.8bn together – have disbursed just 24% ($223m) and 30% ($278m) respectively.
Japan and Finland are among the few to have fully met their pledges, of $100m and $6m respectively.

It has everything to do with it. Calling someone greedy while not giving anything yourself is hypocrisy.
The money isn't in some government office. It is given to various groups and there is always politics involved. I don't think you realize how much aid they got for their size- it is hard to spend all that so fast.
No,it has nothing to do with the subject at all and nothing you say will ever changed that fact.
Translation: "La! La! La! La! I can't hear you!"
What point? We sent the money and it wasn't (all) used. How is that our fault, did you expect the US to annex Haiti and run everything ourselves?
Why not? It's a reasonable question given that you are scathing of aid sent from some countries.I'm just interested in how much, if any, your own country has provided.
good for you. my life is very fine too. I aqlso am accessing this through brodband from a house I own. I dont like leather chairs so I am sitting in a recliner.
what was the point of this post?
he can't let facts of his country get in the way, hatred is irrational. you cant have a rational discussion with someone so full of hate. so what is the point of continuing to argue with him.
cant convence a Klansman to marry a black girl. just an analogy, I wouldnt want to hurt his delicate feelings.
out of curiosity, how much has your country given, If we are greedy, surly your nation is generous. lead by Example, what has your country given? or you personally, from your silly post before you seem to live very comfortably, Why pay for broad band if that money can feed hungry people in starving nations. your house you bragged about, for just yourself.
crack a dictionary, turn to H and look up hypocrite, see what that word means. then thumb to g and look up greed.
who do you share with, or are you simply better than everyone else, you deserve a leather chair and broad band.
bragging about your wealth but calling others who are involved deeply in charity is not a way to prove your case.
I donate my Time ten hours a week, giving children with nothing love, food, and shelter. I donate a tenth of my income just to hungry homeless starving in the streets and suffering from mental illness. I have taken In my lover's little bro who was througn out of his house buy tolerant left wing voters, once they learned that he was gay. given him a place at my table and a place in my heart. I have become a father figure for that boy.
I am very generous, so learn the definition of greed seems you not only fabricate facts but also butcher the english language.
