LIST OF COUNTRIES GIVING USA AID AND $$ FOR HURRICANE SANDY

I heard Afghanistan will donate $100,000, just like after the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.

look there's no need for people to come in here and attack america i agree with you, but they're only saying those things because of the TOPIC OF THIS THREAD.

if thread didn't exist, those comments wouldn't be here to read. FACT

another one from our dear friends canada.

yeah, war torn afganistan. with poverty & child illiteracy rates through the roof, going to offer money they can barely afford to give away.

how about some more gratitude instead of whining, making us all look bad.

you are wrong do a search and find out for yourself.

i am not even off the first page yet.

We really could use 16 trillion dollars if you guys could help us out. Maybe you could get together and pool your money?

oh people posting comments in a thread before it exists? really? nice try

and how much do we give them each year? do you have nothing to say to those foreigners who are ripping our country and hoping that sandy brings the worst or are you just going to settle on me?

what a stupid shit you are the comment that I am quoting are on the first page. duh!

The US "donates" 3.5 Billion of US taxpayer money every year to a wealthy country, Israel.

The US spends 58 percent of the total defense dollars ($1.19 trillion) paid out by the world's top 10 military powers -

US = $695.7 billion in military funding in 2011.





.

of a whinge thread, what do you expect?

^^ canada

thanks for your kind wishes brit, we appreaciate it.

whatever man, you clearly have an axe to grind & want to blame everyone except take responsibility for yourself.

enjoy your whinging (i doubt you even do enjoy it)

another one from our dear british friends and again we really appreciate your concern. XX

People just reacted to the very first post from the OP Davvi, it went down hill from that.

What is hard about wondering why instead of sending us their best regards all they can do is kick us when we are down? how do you, as an american accept that? and make excuses for them? do you really consider them friends?

does it not bother you, that your fellow americans are suffering and all the brits, aussies, canadians and euro scum can do do is poke you us in the face?

suppose it was the bahamas and they were making the kind of comments they are making here about them? what would you think?

so it is okay then? maybe i am missing the threds which hoped we would be ok and there would not be much destruction?

how is it you fail to grasp these people are responding to the OP whinging?

my people are suffering because of a storm, those who are suffering don't have TIME to come in here and make whinge threads.

if you're looking for those kind of posts why are you in a misinformed whinge thread?

hey man so are my people and unfortunately all i can do is sit here rather helplessly. if that wasn't bad enough, i don't find an ounce of compassion from our good friends around the world (ha) all i see are our supposed 'best friends' taking the piss and enjoying our misery.

is there one thread started by anyone outside of this country offering support (NOT FINANCIAL) just words of support like any human being would offer to another human being? there are two threads here about the same subject and the same nasty replies on both.

forget it i will drop it, and try very hard not to wish the same for them.

What you call a desaster seems to many people in the world to be a media-hyped hysteria, a mix of a terrible storm, wooden huts built at the oceans edge on hundreds of kilometers of beach areas where no one in his right mind should build a house and expect it to last, antique electric power lines built in the cheapest way possible on wooden poles in one of the richest couzntries on earth in one of the most densely populated areas of the US east coast, a system of transporting electricity hard to find anymore in any other developed country, people having no idea of natures forces anymore and a gouvernment which is using this storm for its own agenda.

See, Germany regularly is affected by flooding and storms. In 2002 the water levels at the Elbe river surge were 10 to 12 meters. *That* is flooding on an epic level. The four Rhine river floodings of Cologne in the 20th century with water levels up to 12 meters were on an epic level. The Hamburg storm flood of 1962 with water levels of 6 meters above high tide sea level 200 kilometers inland from the north sea was epic.

What you experience is not epic. it is a sad anmd terrible natural desaster of a larger scale in a large highly populated area most vulnerable due to settling large urban areas at the wrong places and poor and mostly cheaply maintained housing and infrastructure, completely overhyped by the media.

OIn the worst days of WWII, when Berlin was raided by bombs day and night, the city mostly in ruins, the Russians approaching, 4 million poeple plus 1 million refugees managing to survive somehow the U-Bahn underground transport system was flooded so often that no one can count how often, and every time it was flooded it was freed of water in a mere few hours again whilst bombs were falling and the whole city was a mess of fire, death and destruction. The public transport system functioned quite perfect throughout the war no matter what. Such a situation can be called epic.

And if you wish to find an example of what "epic" is: Have a look at the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. And how that city managed to get over that *real desaster* in no time.

peace bro

oh i see, how stupid am i? this isn't awful enough to impress you or bad enough for you to stir yourself and offer a word of compassion? gotcha. that straightened me right out.

yea peace, and we will take care of ourselves like we always do.

It is nothing to do with compassion, it has everything to do with wanting more money, the two are not the same.

No need to blaze abroad about compassion and the usual blah blah here. I spare that for when Bangla Desh gets hit by the next annual storm flood and suffers hundreds of thousands of deaths *without* 24/7 hysteric media coverage on every news channel and in every news paper and on every web site about a crane hanging in the air above Carnegie Hall.

Forgive my sarcasm, but really ...

forgive my club, but really...because we are not from Bangladesh we don't rate a word of concern? do we not bleed, lol. never mind.
