!!!LIFT HAITI UP IN YOUR PRAYERS!!!

[quickdodge®]

Dude. you REALLY need to learn how to type. Reading your posts is like eating glass. How do you go through life not being able to write?

And....do you want to know WHY we took care of New Orleans and Katrina victims? It's because it's on OUR LAND! It is THE SAME THING that ANY OTHER country would do.

You sure as fuck didn't see Japan, or China, or Haiti for that matter coming to help us when Katrina hit did you? Hell no.....but, we are ALREADY heading over to Haiti if you pay attention to the news instead of rolling your face across the keyboard.

An Aircraft Carrier loaded with aid is en route and will arrive in a couple days. Along with the French who are already there and others. So is this a tragedy? Certainly. Is America doing something about it, you bet your ass they are.

So step off your soap box Captain Typo and look at the bigger picture.

So true, man. I don't know of any other country that goes to the aid of other countries in times of need than America. The Russians don't send troops over here. The Chinese don't. No one does. But let a catastrophe happen anywhere on this Earth and see if the USA isn't one of the first on the scene to provide help however they can. Later, QD.

Well said, along with the quoted post. Aid was sent pretty damn quick to help with the search, clean up, and rebuild.

QD, I respect you man, mad props to you.

But just to interject something, a lot of countries (myself included), did help in some sort of form when Katrina hit. Most gave donations to the Red Cross, which in turn assisted many of the victims in the US.

Just wanted to set that straight.

I agree with you to a certain point except the fact that you are not a country.

But QD is right. When catastrophes happen worldwide. The USA is pretty much expected to rush and help out. Americans are some of the most notewarthy in the world for sending dollar contributions to charities. No other country in the world that I am aware of has the amount of charities that America has. There is not a Feed the hungry in China or Russia that sends aid to the USA. That is simpy because they do not feel that we need it yet our homeless are growing and the number of those without food grows daily.

Do not get me wrong, we are NOWHERE near the level of Haiti. Whatever Haiti has done or not done in regards to America, they are still people and people need to be helped.....and that is why America is sending troops for security, aid for survivors and supplies for everyone.

WHatcha mean? Never heard of Petoria? LOL (family guy)

Yes, Agreed 100%.... in a way, it is a shame that smaller countries and islands do contribute, albeit monetarily, while the bigger countries, that may have the resources (military, equipment, supplies) do not offer assistance....

I wouldn't say it's a shame. As I said earlier, any help is better than no help. And of course the US is in a position to be able to help the world out. It would be ludicrous to expect small island nations or smaller ill-resourced countries to be able to provide assistance on the same scale.

I've been there. Went to a pool party there once. Later, QD.

I understand what you're saying. And help in any shape or form is always welcome, I'm sure. But my reference was to the fact that the US doesn't just send off donations. Military forces are mobilized to these disaster areas. Thousands of people are sent from here to these places. People from all walks of life hop on planes and fly to these spots to help rebuild homes and communities. No one from Korea flew to New Orleans. No one from Belgium did either.

Now I don't mean that to downplay any help that people from other countries give to the US because, like I said, help is help and it's all appreciated.

As far as OUTLAW is concerned, it's got to be sad to be his soul to have the feelings he has towards people. Later, QD.

No one should expect islands like Haiti, and others in the caribbean to send planes full of military and volunteers to New Orleans, because they simply do not have the resources. It is more often the island communities and people that give with their hearts through monetary donations.

Of course, when disaster strikes abroad, the US will offer the most substantial assistance, as it is also the more resourseful country.
