Would you care to explain your reasoning that the individaul dollar amount donated counts "More" than the total dollar amount? I really wanna see your reasoning on this one.

You CAN NOT compare a country with 294 million people to small countries with 4 mill to 50 mill people!
If you divide the U.S. up in each state, you will have a better perspective.

U.K. + Germany + Italy + France + Holland + Sweden + Denmark + Norway + Ireland = 294 Million people.
Try putting those countries budgets together, and you have a country as big as U.S.

Isn't that what you were trying to do?

I'm telling you that $333 per citizen is A LOT MORE than $46 per citizen.
Try comparing yourselves with Monaco or San Marino, I bet that will give Americans a real self esteem boost.. :) (At least until you divide down the numbers to make the comparison fair)

They might give the most totally, but if you divide it with "per capita", it's sad reading..  :-X

U.S.A. uses $46 per citizen for aid..
The top 5 aid contribution countries are:

1. Norway - $333 per citizen
2. Luxembourg - $316 per citizen
3. Denmark - $286 per citizen
4. Sweden - $207 per citizen
5. Netherlands - $196 per citizen
...
18. U.S. - $46 per citizen

U.S. is one of very few countries who actually use LESS money on Aid in 2002 than in 1990.. that should say something.
But some of you will rather use the money on war, instead of helping homeless and starving people with medications, food, etc. right.. ?

--- Quote from: Jome on July 17, 2004, 06:19:48 PM ---U.S. give $13.140 mill. to aid.
Norway give $1.517 mill. to aid.

U.S. have 65 times more citizens than Norway, yet U.S. only use 8,6 times more money on aid.
This means that Norway use 7.2 times more aid than U.S. per citizen.
Get it.. ?

How are you going to compare Europe with the United States?

In Europe there are how many different languages spoken? And it makes up how many countries?

And how many languages in the States.. ?
English will get you a long way in 95% Europe, just like in U.S.

And U.S. makes up how many states (with different laws).. ?
I'm using fair comparisons, something you're not obviously not interested in.
