Re: America most charitable country
george bush was the first president to declare genocide in darfur. not one country in the UN backed us. we only do things for political gain? i dont see any country in europe giving out any favors... if so id love to be proven wrong... we had millions in troops in the middle east and still offered up more for darfur and countries with no troops in iraq hid like pussies.
the US does a lot that the press does not see... the BBC and the rest of the world loves to shit on us. not that i agree with iraq, imo i would have love to gone to darfur instead... but the US is not this evil nazi regime that we are made out to be (by some).

Re: America most charitable country
since when is the world holding a country accountable for its CHARITABLE DONATIONS? I'm sorry, but i thought these donations were voluntary!!! the US and its people will give as they wish when they wish and the world should say thank you and thats it. this is like a beggar saying that even anything being tossed his way is not enough. this is preposterous. I make decent money and I donate some of that money. But if any person or organization that gets any of MY money says its not enough, they will not get another 1/100th of a penny. The US govt chooses to spend money on the WAR, which is very debatable. However, what the country chooses to give is not.
I thank you America for being so kind and generous. I hope that you will continue to find it in your heart to continue giving. God Bless America!Leave a comment:

Re: America most charitable country
^^^ Not entirely true. Yes, US food aid might have had some fucked up side effects here and there, but even if you really would demonize that all, there's still the US NGOs.
Erzina's sister works for such an NGO helping to resolve ethnic tension in the Balkan. They're doing a great job and it's with US money even though it's in the EU back garden (note: which doesn't mean we invest a shitload too).
Your post is bs in other words. Thank you.Leave a comment:

Re: America most charitable country
All the aid that the US gov give is for political reasons, not because they are loving and caring about the world , the world biggest capitalist won't give you a penny if that penny wouldn't give a dollar back, thats the way I see it.Leave a comment:

Re: America most charitable country
wooooah, since when is the US governments foreign aid budget $300 billion?! You're getting two things confused here...how much the US government gives in foreign aid and how much US private citizens donate.
The US governments foreign aid as a % of GNI (gross national income) is actually very low at 0.17% (or 22.739 billion) in 2007. Thats no where close to how much they've spent on the war....
The US citizens make up for the fact that their government donates so little of its relative GNI as compared to most other developed countries (ie. Sweden, at number 1, donates 1.03% of its GNI to foreign aid...or +5x as much as the US).

Re: America most charitable country
we have not spent 300 billion on the war chief. granted, we've spent a lot, but we're still giving away more in aid than to kill people. it wasn't bragging either, just a statement of fact that hey, our president is a fucking dipshit, but at LEAST he's helping Africa. Or that doesn't count does it, cuz the fucking WAR!Leave a comment:

Re: America most charitable country
umm i'm sorry, but when you spend exponentially more money on killing people than on foreign aid you don't get to brag about how much you've increased foreign aid.
the individual american people, however, who donate the most per capita in the world, are very commendable.Leave a comment:
