Omegaman
This board seems to have had alot of "USA haters" this year especially. Talking about how bad, selfish,cruel,etc we are! Now that we have had a huge disaster of our own, it will be interesting to see how many other countries come out to "aide" us this time around! The facts are the WE are ALWAYS one of the biggest contributors in aide to other countries in "times of need". I for one say we do way more for other countries than we do for ourselves and its NOT even appreciated or respected!! I am sick of it! Let's see some other country step up for once! How much money do you think will come from other countries into the USA for disaster relief........?????........I bet NOT one measly dollar!

to paraphrase bush

"we'll take care of our own problems"

they do say pride comes before a fall

Britannia
You may give lots of aid, but it is all proportional... you give much less aid per person than most other countries.

Omegaman
I see you all miss the point(Just like I KNEW you would!) You proved my point to a "T"!! Britanna- that's just plain funny! Let me give you an example: Let's say you are poor and I am a millionare and this other guy is from the middle class(makes $40,000 a year). I give you $200,000 and the other guys gives you $5000. WHO is HELPING you MORE?? The answer is soooooooo easy for anyone with a BRAIN! Even though the middle class guy gives more proportionally, you will get WAY more out of the $200,000!!! So take your little arguement some where else, where it makes some sense......like "Crazy World"!

xmarksthespot
In absolute terms the millionaire is helping more. In relative terms the 40k man is helping more.

Omegaman
Relative, SMellative!!! Bottom line , the millionare's money goes MUCH further and THUS helps MORE(the same way that the money that the USA goes further)!! Do you understand the concept of money.... how much is "relative-money" going to buy you?? Maybe you shop in the stores that Britanna owns in "Crazy World"???

Anyways that is just an outright LIE, The USA is in the top tier of Aid giving in the world in any amount ,proportion,etc!

My goodness. You really are an angry little person. If I'm not allowed to express my opinion in a forum with the purpose of allowing people to express their opinion.... many apologies. laughing
I am simply saying that America is not giving aid in propotion to her wealth.
I'll give you some advice- be tolerant of other people's views and don't ridicule them in such an overt manner... you'll do yourself no favours. smile

finti
probably cause the US government will refuse it........and I dont hate US

Britannia
Think how much MORE the USA could help if it increased its aid budget to the same 'per-person' rate as most other countries...

Mr T pities you.

The US in terms of % of GNP is the last in the 22 OECD countries - giving 0.16% GNP in official development aid. Up until 2001 Japan was the biggest donor in absolute monetary terms.

jaden101
lets look at the last big disaster in the world..the tsunami...the biggest aid givers were....drum roll please...germany and australia...who both donated more than double the amount that the US gave...

Omegaman
NO you are trying to dismiss the HUGE amount of good will the USA shows! You go right ahead with your opinion but dont expect everyone to accept it! Thats my opinion! You seem to have "disrespected" my opinion!

You are right though on one thing... I am angry and I think alot of other americans are too! WE are getting sick and tired of doing all we do for other countries , but still taking all the crap that gets flung our way. What a sorry state the world would be in if we DIDNT send any aide in times of disaster. How would that be, since our money doesnt matter because its not in proportion???

Britannia
It seems that a certain 'Omegaman' has been silenced by the barage of proof against his argument.

Yes, the USA gives aid- we all agree that it'd be dreadful if it didn't. But surely, it's be so much better if it gave more in proportion to its wealth?

finti
ehhhh Japan


its a diffrence between opinions and facts though

xmarksthespot

Omegaman
To finti- they could give the money directly to the Red Cross -they wouldnt refuse it and the government couldnt do anything about it!

To Jaden- where did you get your info?? I would say from some biased source trying to fixed the figures to put the USA in a bad light! Anyways it the amount of money given NOT the proportion of GNP! Like I said earlier ,REAL dollars gor further than "relative" or "proportional" dollars, try checking it out, its called the real world!!

finti
and Im sure some will do that too, but then I think its better to donate disaster aid equipment first. Medical stuff and so

xmarksthespot
Between 1992 and 2001, Japan was the largest donor of ODA in "real dollars."

PVS
its hip to hate americans.
my favorite is when people say shit like "you americans are so prejudice",
"you americans are ignorant" and the fake stats are the best "a survey shows that 60% of americans cant spot their own country on a globe (always these 'legitament' surveys conveniently lack a source)
and people fail to see the tragic irony in their statements. so apparently its not ignorant and prejudice to generalise and pigeonhole americans. in fact, its hip and exhibits great intelligence.

Spelljammer
Why do you persist to convince them omegaman? They're hatmongerers, wether it's race, nationality, ethenticity, religon, etc. Hate has no bearing on logic or reasoning. It's the most stubborn, ignorant form of thought pattern one can create. It's useless to try and understand it.

You would save yourself alot of greif if you just ignored thier stupidity. You may not like what they think, but that's why God gave us free-will, so we could LEARN better rather then just DO better. Treat thier posts like a five year old was writing it, as that's about the level mentality of a hater..

xmarksthespot
Why are you assuming people who dislike American foreign policy hate American people?

Omegaman
Here are some figures for you on the tusnami.......

American Government gave $950 million and private American donations were 800 million....thans almost 2 billion dollars!!!

finti
who was the biggest donor in unreal dollars then confused confused

yet many americans are indeed ignorant on many issues , and I speak out of experience used to live there, to be fair though and it is scary, thing is a lot of my own countrymen(Norwegians) the teenagers are relly ignorant when it comes to news events and our own countries history. They dont know what goes on around the world, if it aint on MTV then their blank

Was that directed towards me or PVS? Because I was assuming nothing, the fact is most people comment on "Americans" being "stupid, lazy, self-centerd pricks" rather then "thier form of goverment is an atrocity".

I hardly think Omegaman would've raised such a stir had most of the comments been over the latter..

finti
actually its a quarter of a billion from 2 billion so....... big grin

thats where it gets cloudy.
smart people are able to separate the two, but many more
are simply resentful of americans, maybe not because of who we are,
but simply that they need a nation of people to resent....who knows.

i just see alot of people, especially here, bashing americans in general.
im sure you dont, but you will find that many do.

Listen, we are having a perfectly civilised conversation about the American aid budget... you, for some reason read it as a prejudiced assualt on Americans.... I have American friends! So please, read the posts PROPERLY before coming out with such silly statements.

Both. No one thus far has said anything about "Americans being stupid, lazy, self-centerd pricks" we've corrected incorrect misinformation that Omegaman posted in an aggressive fashion.
Read the entire thread and see whose being calm and rational and who isn't before making such blanket comments.

Our goverment acts like the world's baby sitter because the world wants a mommy's teet to suck on..

Whenever someone needs money or support, suddenly America is everybody's best friend. Then any other time then pick on them and leave them out of house parties. It's like the niave rich kid who's spoiled but has a good heart, and just cause everyone else isn't quite as rich they're jealous so they expect stuff because he's rich, but still want to treat him like shit.. You can't have it both ways..

Omegaman
Spelljammer-Thanks for lending me a hand, but all this just proves my point! NO ONE has be able to show me "one red cent" that some other country has given to the USA in our time of disaster. NOT IN realtive or proprotional , or REAL dollars!!

They just want to attack the USA again for not giving enough,not thanking them for all the aid we do give! They need to learn the saying .."Dont bite the hand that feeds you!".

§P0oONY
I just hate America's patriotism...

Thank you for the aid you have given.

By the way, Bush has expressed a wish NOT to recieve any aid.

Well obviously.. America does have certain obligations... they are rich... all rich countries have to "babysit" countries that are not.

Omegaman
Britanna you will get no apology from me, you did bash the USA. Show me something I accused you of that you didnt do and then I will!

To xmarks... Thats because we KNOW that we are on our own,we AMericans "MAN UP" when times are bad ,because other countries DONT give back to us like we do for them(MY WHOLE PONT!)

Right. And what is the daily military budget..?
And how much between 2003 and now has been spent on the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan..?

Incidentally. Just for the record... I dislike Bush. I dislike his administration. I dislike a lot of the foreign policy.

But I (And I feel I speak here for a lot of us brits) do have a lot of love for the people of America.

It is important to distinguish that the amount of resentment toward Bush doesn't translate to you guys automatically... Besides he screws you guys over too.... It would be ignorant to give you the double whammy of hating you for your leader and the institutions he has inflicted on you that screw you over daily....

So again. Its your government's foreign policy that has been angering people.... Not you guys... smile

Very true, I'd like to see how they'd react to someone like me running this country. I run my own country on an online game. People are free to come and go as they please, it's a very peaceful, serene socialist country. But it's a PURE socialism. 100% tax rates, people are drafted and might I add not trained to save money, infact people bassicaly either work for the military or are farmers and ranchers as I would've wanted. Money go's primarily to healthcare, social security, and other matinance to help MY country. I develop weapons, I do everything as my own little world. Most people even in my region aren't fully aware of what i'm doing, just have a breif idea. Even my close friend Pete who's my most trusted ally and we're both in the United Nations has to ask me every now and again if I'm going to betray them and I assure them no. We're waiting for beta version so we can start world war 666 lol. I don't build nor condone nuclear weapons, that destroys the enviorment far too much and I pride myself in nature.. They however do. (Most of them are capitalist countries..) I DO however build biological weapons though the United Nations passed a treaty to ban them. And they also passed a treat to donate money to less fortunate countries. Peaceful little countries like mine are considerd less fortunate, so I get more money. And I'm still pissed off about them banning me from the forum part so after beta comes out I've gotten friends from the net, real life, everything to support my international terrorist group and we're going to rip them a new one. Omega version lol! I even put up my flag as North Koreia and the quote "the new world is inevitable".

See what you all get for donating to foreighn countries. Let that be a lesson to you. Vote xenophobic Republican.. stick out tongue

You were just complaining about how no countries are offering you aid - even though I'm quite certain it has been offered.
Now you're saying that the U.S. doesn't want aid and that's your point? What the f**k?

I don't give appalogies to even my mother or my friends, what makes you think I'd give one to you? Someone who completely disrespects me simply because of where I come from and the stupid things my goverment does?

You have alot to learn about the real world missy. The world doesn't revolve around you.. I swear, it's like they think you "owe" them something.. For what? Who are you? Atleast I disrespect you for something you DID rather then something you ARE. Learn some morality before you expect gratitude and other things an adult obtains without having to ask..

No, I'd rather hear an apology thanks.

To xmarks.... I NEVER said the USA doesnt want aid.... I am saying we are smart enough to know NOT to expect it!! Bush is just trying to be "STRONG" and show his pride in Americans helping Americans because the rest of the world doesnt give to us like we give to them! Thats a fact! Dont try and use the "they dont want our help" thats just BULL! Few people that are poor/in need will actually ASK you for help! In the act of "giving" you just DO IT , you dont ask if they want it, sometimes pride will stand in the way!

All I am asking is for one person to show me that some other country is giving some form of help/aid to the USA and dont say we dont need it! Have you seen the pictures of the destruction and death in New Orleans alone???

Anyway, now that i've entertained myself. What's the big deal of insulting our GOVERMENT even? Like we don't know they suck? Don't you have anything better to do? Do Americans sit around and wail on about how Eureope is turning into one gigantic communism or how North Koreia is becoming more of a liable threat every given second and it's all the United Nation's fault?

wow.

Indeed, pray tell where is this hatemongering. Quote Britannia's hatemongering. Quote mine.

No, I don't say America has problems, I say that the American government has a problem with aid in its foreign policy. The reason why I don't want a proper job is because I am studying at college. I am perfectrly entitled to enter full-time employment but I chose not to.

You really are not seeing the point are you?

I guess that happens when you don't quote to whom you're referring/addressing. I was in fact addressing Spelljammer. In your first post it intiitially seemed as if you were referring to people in the thread however you were not. Spelljammer has been referring to people in the thread.
Although do show me exactly where I've been confrontational.

I dont hate to say, but the American government and their sheer arrogance is disgusting at times.

Even with all their 'infrastrcture" and money, I am simply astonished at the snail pace the relief efforts is taking in New Orleans. They got of the starting line about 3 days late.

While this proves that the American government is made up of a bunch of wankers, I am very very very sad for the people in the areas affected by the hurricane. If I were in that part of the world, I would have been there since Tuesday to help out.

In Fact the American people, should use this long weekend to open their hearts and roll up their sleeves to help with the refugee crisis that is now ensuing.

And by the way... I worked a job the whole time I was in college. I guess thats the difference between an American and........ LOL

I am not talking to you. I am talking to spelljammer. How I choose which charities to give to is my own provate business and is not to be put under scrutiny thank you.

Please explain what the 'lol' was for?

IT is a fact ... its popular to hate America right now,so how am I not right on that point. PVS, you missed the whole point of the post which I have yet to be proven wrong about! My point was that we are not appreciated for all the aid we give! And that now that we are in need, NO countries will give back to us like we have given! Anybody can "rationalize" their HATE but that doesnt mean its RIGHT! And PVS, you still havent shown me where I asked for an apology .....that was your buddy Britanna! But you should , along with other countries APOLOGIZE to the Americans in Miss. and NO!

Yea, people nowadays are just too sensitive..

Well I like you. smile And I like Omegaman. We should form The Masters of Evil! Infact I'm immagining Omegaman as Omega Red at a voting booth yelling "I'M CONFUSED!" and votes for Bush instead of Nader. Cause we all know Nader is t3h bomb.

Omegaman
WE will take care of our own! WE have to , because other countries WONT! My whole point here! I wish it werent true. Show me how that is right or fair?? If you say you "hate" only the government of the USA, this is NOT about our government, its about our people , who you guys say you actually like??? I dont why I am asking for help because I know its not coming from outside the USA!

your trolling falls on deaf ears.
you may be able to get the best of some other more sensative members,
but dont get too high and mighty pal, because im not stirred, riled, or angered by your words. lets just clear that up right away, to avoid thread clutter.

anyway, i never said that you asked for an apology. so while you demanding quotes, allow ME to demand a quote where i say that it was you asking for an apology. to call someone a hatemonger would imply that you are not, which you have proven to be nothing but...


have a nice day smile

What do you want? A gold star? Do you give aid because you want praise? I thought it was meant to help people.
No one here has expressed any ill-will towards the individual people of the United States.

For the third or fourth time: Bush has expressed he doesn't want foreign aid.

Omegaman, if you really think the whole world hates Americans, you need to get out more and get a breath of reality.

I am an American. I have MANY friends from other countries. I have yet to meet a single person who hates Americans. I've met many people that dislike our president and current administration, and who dislike our foreign policy....but guess what. Many AMERICANS don't like our current administration and foreign policy.

The reason we haven't gotten any aid from other countries is because Bush REFUSES to ask for it. He says he doesn't want any. He seems to think that asking for help with something that is in reality beyond our ability to handle on our own would make us seem weak. Believe me, other countries would come to our help if Bush would let them. I know many people from other countries who've been privately donating to Red Cross. It's our government's fault we're not getting any foreign aid, not the fault of any foreign governments.

Not a single person in this thread has said anything anti-Americans or anything hatemongering in the least.

you willingly accept isolated incidents as the actions of an entire community.
thats racism. "well, i saw some black people looting and fighting, so that means they are all just looting and fighting" sad erm

He's smart, we don't need foreighn countries holding it over our head like some kind of mafia syndicate..

If you showed me a petition to send over British troops to help right now and have them come in rescuing the injured/in peril, assisting clearing debris/damage etc then I'd sign it in a heartbeat.
That'd be real help.

I think EVERYONE needs to get outside and breath some fresh air. High tensions and hostility is already showing. Because of the devasting events that are happening in New Orleans. Please do not open a thread with a similar topic. Also all topics related to Hurricane Katrina should be discuss here
