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

[Glides]

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.

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.
