" So which country is going to help out the U.S. We're expected to jump as soon as something happens in another country, now that it's our turn we'll see."

Exactly it wont happen, all these other countries hate America, don't respect are help, cry and whine when we don't help. When we do help it's like thanks and f-u. No 1 is gonna help, next time Africa needs help, I say F-it, ur on ur own so starve. And of course when a tsunami hits another country, oh well. America, the worlds help, should stop helping others out.

That tsunami crap pissed me off, I am supposed to be on three years of shore duty and I was sent over there to help with food and aid on the USS Abraham Lincoln. I barely get enough time at home with my family the way it is and now I'm expected to help others that don't help us. Don't getme wrong, I think helping other countries is great but there is an old saying "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"

That saying is true. After giving out over 1 billion dollars in tsunami aid, I think its time to see at least a few ya know? Probally won't happen

No other country will help us because we're "mean", or something.
But, they will still expect help from us next time they have a problem ... & then then complain about how we're not giving them enough help.

What can i say, really other than I feel the same as you about my country (UK) all we seem to do is help other countries but I bet if anything happened here no one would help except maybe america.

Back to the subject I just feel so sorry for the people that are caught up in this terrible act of god.

I know !!
I don't know how I would handle that kind of situation.
I mean, I've been in some rough spots, but never like that.
It makes you think, you know.

blah blah blah...........you bunny............. Australia's always in there... up to there necks helping ..

I object to a lot of these comments.....

Did'nt mean to offend

Sorry guys, but one of the richest nations in the world does not need any finacial aid. You are correct that America had their nose in all of the world problems, however its not like the Americans always brought over some postive affects. Take the Iraq example. Do you honestly think you guys are helping in that case? Do you think killing and bringing complete mayham to Iraq is helping? In the case of the tsunami the money was needed. Thailand is not like America, they desperately needed the finacial aid, and its not America that brought it all. Countries all over the world brought tsunami relief. Canada sent over millions of dollars of aid. Organizations all over the world contributed and sent over the needed supplies and medical care. Are you saying you want poverty stricken African individuals to send money to one of the richest nations in the world? I think it says alot when america is concerned that their casino's are ruined and their large casino income will affect the economy.
Take a look around, you dont need the help, you dontneed the income. Its not America that other countries dislike, it is their cocky and self centered way of life. I think it is time that America opened their eyes.

"Take the Iraq example. Do you honestly think you guys are helping in that case?"

Well every soldier and millions amoung millions of Iraqis think so. you will never see it on TV, cuz if they were caught saying that, there heads would be detached. And y u think 100 of thousands of Iraqis are signing up to fight terrorists and Alqeda or w/e? every soldier I see talk good about it. Just keep believing the news you see! Also Iraq shoulda stopped messing wit Kuwait. Even after the 1rst Gulf war they broke the agrements or w/e 14 times.

"Its not America that other countries dislike, it is their cocky and self centered way of life. I think it is time that America opened their eyes."

cocky and self centered way of life, that raised over 1 Billion dollars just 4 the tsunami? Prolly the most by any country. Not no pussy millions like Canada. "cocky and self centered way of life", and thats a reason to fly planes into buildings?

"Are you saying you want poverty stricken African individuals to send money to one of the richest nations in the world?"

No, but Its called Fukin respect, You don't seem to have it, and every other Country about!

Well put Denice, I couldn't have said it better myself. The people who do the most protesting and complaining about Iraq have not been there first hand. When and if my gear returns from Iraq, I have many discs full of pictures of everday things that have happened and are still going on there. It's been a few months and I am still waiting on one box to arrive, the post office does not even have a clue where to begin looking. My brother is over there right now he has been looking for me also. I just hope all goes well for him, I can do with out the box.

Thanks and thanks for serving the country. Hope ya get your mail and wish the BEST 4 your brother.

That Shien bitch, I understand her loss But she took it to a new level. I think we should parachute her in the middle of a crazed Country see how much she hates the US then

Africa sent a few hundred dollars to the Tsunami relief... might sound small, but to them it's like a billions american dollars. it's not about the $$ but about the willingness and determination to genuinely help. I hear many countries are getting ready to help with the NO relief.. just waiting for that "yes" from the states. however small it is, there is respect for US and you should understand that. Stop with that bush "if you are not with us you are against us" and "we will act unilaterally" attitude. we all live in this world together. other countries have stepped up to help US. You won't see it on your local news cuz CNN rarely covers those kind of stuff cuz it doesn't look good for America

Im not saying no Countries helped, im just saying we help by are self’s no 1 pushing us and still it still seems as Americans we get shit on! Yes Africa cont. in a way, but most of the US $s that went to help them were corrupted. Now im not saying if ur not wit Bush, "f you are not with us you are against us" and "we will act unilaterally." You don’t seemAmerican. Id be like this if it was Clinton, Washington, Lincoln, Wilson, Ragen, and every other President thats the NORMAL American way and it WILL never change. Is that what you people hate about US? You don't seem American at all! Im not trying to argue, just doing what ever other American does, besides hatred mother fukers. I love the US and nothing will ever change that! Until a Hitler gets in US power which has never happened yet! Is it Jealousy or hatred? or u just a Shein? Tell me 1 curropted president in US history in my life time that every American wanted out like some other countries?? Not just a million F-ing Hippies that hate Bush? Thats all it is, that believe on war poll is made up of a million peeps, not NEARLY the US population!

Let her go and just attempt to give aid to a country like Iraq, you will never be the same after you see what actually goes on.

The news only shows what the people want to see (violence) sometimes they do show other stuff but it is very rare.

The public only sees what they want to, ie: All of the soldiers that gave their lives. These soldiers signed a contract knowing what can happen and in this day and age it's inevitable that in time these things will

I venture to say in the not to distant future war will be on the soil of the United states. I only say this because of the recurring events that go on in this country and across the rest of the world.

...end quote from Dnice5150...

Your's isn't the only post in this thread I find replusive, nor is this the only one you posted that I feel I have to call you on but it is the one that got me boiling enough to reply.

Specifically to the above, I'm a Canadian and you want to talk about calling someone on some fukin respect in the same post where you slam my country without cause? Better get your facts straight then or be ready with a sincere apology.

Fact: based on GDP we (i.e. Canada) gave nearly 5x more than you (the USA).

Fact: again by GDP there were quite a few countries that gave significanly MORE than the USA.

Fact: I will grant you one small point for the fact that in total dollars, yes the USA gave the most.

The above is according to the breakdown here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_res ponse_to_the_2004_Indian_ Ocean_earthquake#Pledged_ amounts_as_percentages_of _GDP

(if you have another source I'm willing to consider it since this is the first one I could find and it is based on pledges not actual)

Why GDP? It's not a perfect comparison but it seems the fairest way to consider the ability of a country and it's citizens to help. Certainly the actual dollar amount counts for more, and there are ways to help other than cash donations but I don't have ready access to those numbers.

Now to a few of you in general, you may have forgotten your words to the effect that nobody would lift a fuckin finger to help the USA in the aftermath of Katrina. I expect you to remember that you were wrong the next time you feel the need to whine about the poor old USA being neglected by the world. It really doesn't become you. Check out the pledges here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_re sponse_to_Hurricane_Katri na

You'll find the world ignored your plight in the aftermath to the tune of something over a billion dollars and direct aid, including many of the countries you all love to hate so much like France, Iraq and Iran to name 3 of your favorite punching bags.

"I'm a Canadian and you want to talk about calling someone on some fukin respect in the same post where you slam my country without cause? Better get your facts straight then or be ready with a sincere apology."

Drink some more I dont have to appoligize for shit. Can you read?? Read some newspapers in Canada. You can even watch some canadian tv. So Americans are sopposed to say OK will be all happy buddie buddie wit Canada, WHEN THEY laughed at America over Hurricane Katrina, they call us the most Fd up country, and many more ill not get into including 9/11. Canadas sopposed to be brothers. For that kindda shit want to make fun of 9/11 and Katrina, what u want be better buddies??????????

"Iraq and Iran to name 3 of your favorite punching bags."

go and ask Iraqis how they feel bout Saddam being gone, ask the one were he witnessed his family being grinded in a fing grinding machine, seeing humen hair and blood of his familys. And then say there are punching bag. And ask over 25 of my friends that questioned are entrance of Iraq, ask em now. Theyll tell you they do it agian, including the one that lost a fing arm. weres Canada??? And wit Iran of course Canada is to scared to step up and say somin agianst a country as a mirrior reflection of Germany when Hitler was in power. Iran will continue there nucluer program, even after the whole world knows what he says, basiclly saying wipe Isreal or w/e that country is.

I really dont have much wrong wit Canadians but when Canadians dont protest or stop buying anti American press and people like you, make it into hate! And your profile once said you were from France.

Dont have noting wrong wit you, I have a problem wit you acting as if I HAVE NO reason to be pissed wit Canada


Living in NY less than 40 miles from Canada I see it all Newspapers and News, so I got the facts

"WHEN THEY laughed at America over Hurricane Katrina, they call us the most Fd up country, and many more ill not get into including 9/11"

Don't know what the hell you're going on about here. No Canadians were laughing at America over Katrina or 9/11. Canadians died too when the towers fell. And Canadians opened their homes to Americans when all the overseas flights were ordered grounded in the Maritimes.

The punching bag remark is my take from other boards as well as this one on occassion where I'm always seeing jerks who happen to brag about being American while they rag on about the French, the Iraqis, and the Iranians when they obviously don't have a clue. I think you misunderstood my point there. That while many of your citizens denigrate them for no good reason even they stepped up and pledged support in helping after Katrina.

"And ask over 25 of my friends that questioned are entrance of Iraq, ask em now. Theyll tell you they do it agian, including the one that lost a fing arm."

I'm sorry, that makes no bloody sense. Are you saying you have 25 friends who questioned going into Iraq at the outset but if we asked them now they'd be behind it instead?


My profile has never said I was in France, you are mistaken, or just...

Never mind, I see and deal with this kind of crap all too much. I know you will never see the point and just continue to spout the same rhetoric.

I don't get where you read me making this into a hate USA thing. All I was pointing out was that your and a couple other posts about how the world never lifted a finger to help the USA was wrong. It has been wrong in the past, it was wrong in this case, and it'll be wrong in the future I hope. Where the hell do you get the idea that because we (the world) don't agree with you (the USA) on everything that we (the world) hate you (the USA)?

Ah, forget it, like I said it's probably pointless. I'll give you the last word. I won't bother responding even if I do bother to read it.

edited to remove cheap shots - and I should probably have just ignored the whole mess to begin with for all the aggravation and pointlessness

"And we are in Iran. Maybe you recall a couple of your cowboy pilots dropping bombs against orders and killing some of our soldiers there?"

Im srry have to attack this first, PUSSYs thats what happens in armys, READ. Iraqi armys have accidently killed one of ares you dont here about it or we Americans make big deals about it. LMAO and is that a reason to hate Americans? A ACCIDENT??????

"Don't know what the hell you're going on about here. No Canadians were laughing at Ameica over Katrina or 9/11. Canadians died too when the towers fell. And Canadians opened their homes to Americans when all the overseas flights were ordered grounded in the Maritimes."

Yeah so did Muslims and Muslims died also! They said what great work allah did, so ur point. Read Canadian papers. They say flat out, Americans government palyed a role, and made fun of are security. If you dare say this isnt making fun of id like to see what youd say is. Americans relate Canadians now to Frances hate towerd America. France and Canadians press is cloned.

"And ask over 25 of my friends that questioned are entrance of Iraq, ask em now. Theyll tell you they do it agian, including the one that lost a fing arm."

Typical Canadian, every war people will question not too many wars that Canada made a diffrence, or been in. And dont question people that actually risjed there lives for.

"My profile has never said I was in France, you are mistaken, or just..."

srry I recal Paris my bad.

"Never mind, I see and deal with this kind of crap all too much. I know you will never see the point and just continue to spout the same rhetoric."

you said "you slam my country without cause? Better get your facts straight then or be ready with a sincere apology" I simply listed truth, with points.

I know what made you mad it this little thing I said "...that raised over 1 Billion dollars just 4 the tsunami? Prolly the most by any country. Not no pussy millions like Canada "

Why I said that cus Canada is usally silent in help did they help us in Afgahn and are still there?? Afgan, NO will dissagree with us being there. Who was first in Pakistan with the earthquakes, who was first in the tusami. Were was Canada in other disasters????

"edited to remove cheap shots - and I should probably have just ignored the whole mess to begin with for all the aggravation and pointlessness"

I agree I was just letting you know why I say thing about Canada wit a point, BUT for some reason you think I make shit up THAT CANDIAN press has said. Say Canada had 3,000 citizens die, and us America laughed about shit, are you saying you wouldnt be mad at America????

I also should add if you want to argue, send a private message, this isnt mine nor your site. People visit this site, so u wanna say more please feel free to message me privatly, I will not respnd to you on any other comments on this topic. So if you want take some cheap shots
