Tsunami

I don't think we need to keep making threads about it...
But yeah, my mum donated, and we did a thing at school aswell, we all had to bring a pound in.
It's terrible, you shouldn't say America were slow to react, I don't think they were, and you can't just say every single person in that country are selfish, not everyone is, it's just like racism, prejudging.
My love goes out to all the victims, and even those who were not injured, as they are probably still greiving over their dead family members.

I know it's their own state but still....

Well, do you think that the United States would give more to countries that aren't to fond with America, or to their own country? Think about it.

Lol thats...different, thumbs up for donating.

I don't see what you guys got aganist America?
Not everyone here is the way you people say. Yeah there are some selfish people but alot of people in America have helped by donating to the Red Cross which is helping the tsunami victims. See if you noticed we have raised so much money for them it's crazy. Yeah our presidet may do some wierd things but not everyone here is a bad person. I myself donated $20 to my school for a fundraiser. My school raised about $1000 dollars, and thats just one school, for the victims yet you are saying Americans are selfish? Explain to me, please?

I completely agree, America is not selfish at all and has donated quite generously, for example according to this source they have donated £350 million dollars; http://wpblog.ohpinion.com/index.php?p=76. I think a lot of people are hugely ignorant about how much is actually given, and I get very irritated by people saying that we should all give all our life savings to such a charity. While i recognise how hugely important the work is, it is not purely down to our nations to provide the funding. We have given generously enough, now i want to see it spent, wisely.

Certainly, that's what I was trying to say, it annoys me when people label everyone in one country 'selfish' or 'rude'.
