l3ol3o  User ID: 10729761  United States10/30/2012 04:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Our Allies will help us if we need help. They helped during Katrina. Normally we don't need help though. We aren't Haiti after all. Most of the countries we help can't help themselves let alone help a country the size of the USA. The Canadians, Brits, other EU countries, and even South American countries helped last time. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Canadians helped restore power again. Extra power crews are always useful. As for other countries there just isn't that much they can do. There isn't extensive search and rescue. Most of the work now is clean up and restoration. That takes equipment. Equipment that isn't easy to move. Only the Canadians can really do that because they can just drive across the border. Ayatollah Khomeini: “Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world…. Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Koranic] verses and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” |

There always has to be a top dog...and I would much rather have the US at the top of the food chain than China or Russia ! As I've said earlier, my whole life already revolves around US products and services so I've gotten used to it and quite enjoy it, I don't want to switch to cheap Chinese movies and Russian vodka !  |

I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. |

Grow a set, nut up, and deal with life yourself like an American is supposed to. Last Edited by Resister on 10/30/2012 04:32 PM "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Those are the only US exports ? That's why I'm wearing Nike shoes, driving a Ford, eating at McD, working on Windows OS, surfing the web on a CISCO router, talking on an IPhone, watching Hollywood movies...and the list could go on forever !??? I can't say I completely agree with the US' foreign policies over the years but I can't imagine a world without US influence or worse under Chinese or Russian rule ! Think of the alternatives before you blame the US for everything wrong in the world ! you are too funny. Don't you know you are already influenced more by China then the US. Have a look at your list of 'stuff' where do you think it is all made?? |
| *HAARP Lady* User ID: 24529351 United States10/30/2012 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No offense OP, but I have to disagree with this one. While I understand and appreciate the spirit of your message, it's just not practical to expect anyone to help us. Perhaps if we requested help and it was denied, that's one thing. Quoting: JoeJett As a young student growing up, I needed help from time to time from my mother. She had plenty of money and I had none. So every few weeks or so I'd call her up and say "Mom, I need help". But the flow of "financial aid" always went in one direction; from the have (her) to the have not (me). Mom never needed my financial help. Still doesn't. Though I help her in other ways. We help other countries in need because we can. Expecting something in return defeats the purpose of it. With all due respect - We CAN'T afford to help others but our country does anyway!!! Because that is what we do - that is who we are! We have been raised to help others in need EVEN IF THEY DO NOT ASK! Why do other countries NOT help us? Well, the opposite is also true - they were never trained to help others in need and became dependent on the "getting" and never the "giving!" While I understand where you are coming from, I have to say that I agree to disagree with you and I'm wholeheartedly backing the OP on this one! I've not heard of any OFFERS, even! It would be nice if mainstream media would report on things like that - (there may have been a country or two and we just were not informed.) But what usually happens? Our own nation attempts to help our own in need. I'm interested to find out if any do even make the offer! ~ Haarpy Don't get mad - Get a Pepsi! |

Canada was First to arrive even before American aid and you know that the government did they sent us back home and then held of their own rescue for several days. That says the government wanted the victims of Katrina to suffer that the people did not matter all that matter is that it looks like suck a devastating disaster to sell news and get tons of extra Aid relief. And you expect AID from the world you do understand that America is not in many country's good books. You do nothing to stop the corruption in you're government we are lead to believe you don't care about it as long is your people are above ever one else in the world. |
