Jome, How am I ignorant?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.
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)
And U.S. does NOT rank high on the "Rich country responsibilities: Aid" statistics.They might give the most totally, but if you divide it with "per capita", it's sad reading.. U.S.A. uses $46 per citizen for aid..The top 5 aid contribution countries are:1. Norway - $333 per citizen2. Luxembourg - $316 per citizen 3. Denmark - $286 per citizen 4. Sweden - $207 per citizen5. Netherlands - $196 per citizen...18. U.S. - $46 per citizenU.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.. ?
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.. ?
I officially give up on you Engel.It's like me comparing Europes 727 million people with U.S. 294 million people,.. YAY we have more money!! Woo-hoo!!
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?
How can you compare foreign aid and military spending. they are two different things.
U.S. military budget 2004: $400 Billion.U.S. official foreign aid: $13 Billion.The military budget might (will probably) rise, dunno if it has already happened.
america can do whatever the fuck it wants...unless you live there..dont complain
Engel if a millionaire has gives $20 dollars to a charity, and someone earning minimum wage gives $10 dollars, then while the figure may be more, the poorer person is giving more.
The US gives fuck all for what it earns.
Does the person on the recieving end of the charity really care how much the person that donated the money makes?
