The last offer of help that I heard from France was $136,000. I don't know how their rapid response works for International emergencys so I won't be judgemental.

You know we are talking about mississippi and not the recent incident right?

And what did we pledge to France when they had the heat wave that killed so many? Rich countries very rarely bail other rich countries out at all.  One of the luxuries of being a rich country, like the USA or France, is that we can take care of our own.

I cannot believe the hate that spews from some of the members of this community.  It is absolutely sickening the depths you eagerly plumet to in order to defame those you dislike.

To use an event like this to attack with lies and twisted propaganda is utterly revolting.  Have you no shame?  My revulsion at what this community has become since 2001 is difficult to put into words.  It is as though it has been hijacked by the worst, most spiteful and hateful elements it had to offer.  Extremists so blind that all they can do is attack, attack, attack.  Nothing matters but your petty little idealologies.  That is all that seems real to some of you and the world we live in is treated as an irrelevant veil.

Absolutely pathetic.

At first I was going to answer you....but then I seen you are from California.

Let me put it this way, if this thread were to be taken as fact one would believe that Russia sent a very little, Germany nothing and France a mere $136,000.

Well, looking a little and this is what I've found that some Western countries have donated:

USA: 35 million, but this is just the begining of what we'll send.
Spain: 54 million donated, 14 million in loans
France: 57 million
Sweden: 75 million
UK: 95 million


A quote from your most hated man, Koffi Anan:

"Let me say that in this particular instance the response has been very good."

According to this board, the UN has singled out the USA for ridicule for not giving enough when the comment was directed at all the wealthy nations.  Think G-8.


Some of the people here with a huge anti-France, anti-Germany, anti-Russia and anti-UN chip on their shoulder couldn't let this disaster pass by without using it as a soapbox to attack and defame the objects of their scorn.

Speaking of Bangledesh.

I wonder how much aid they recieved in 1991 when 130,000+ died.  Sucks when your country doesn't have any cool beachs and hotels, or thousands of tourists died.

How many (I pat myself on the back) gave then.

[Fishu]

Just for Nuke. Everyone else, please do ignore.

[Shuckins]

Not to take sides in this retarded thread, Fishu, but you did read the part about Bush offering to bankroll the rebuilding of the region, didn't you?

How much do you suppose THAT is going to cost?

What is significant about all this is that so many nations have pulled together, put aside their differences, rolled up their sleeves, and pitched in to aid in a massive HUMANITARIAN EFFORT.

A big to all nations involved!

[Fishu]

If you didn't understand, I'm just picking on Nuke because of his arrogance.
If you aren't Nuke, then please do ignore.

[Shuckins]

Oh...OK...'salright!
