Is the U.S. really the most generous nation?

Which country is giving the most money and manpower to the victims of the Tsunamis in South Asia?

America sucks balls, money always affects their decisions, american govt. is the greediest in the world... they may do good for the world, but the good they do 98% of the time has double meanings, they benefit either way... FUCK U.S.A AND the individuals there... ive met 4 Americans, all arrogant fucks, iggnorant think they shit diont stick...

I met a couple of hundred Americans (that's just a guess) and I can only think of 1 American I met that I don't like.

yep it's funny when 4 hurricanes wreck most of florida and repairs were in the billions and we didn't get a penny, but now we send $35,000,000 and the army corps of engineers and more military to help other countries fix their problems

Ant:
Actually we didnt send $35 million and your logic is retarded.  Why would less-developed countries help a wealthy country when it needs money?  If Bill Gates house burns down are you going to send him a check to have it fixed? 

Eventually the U.S. may pledge to give more, but last I read, the IRC asked for $7 million and we pledged around $4 millionn.  In comparision to the hundreds of millions we spend each day in Iraq, its a rather insignficant amount.  In comparison, George Soros, who is villified by modern republicans, personally gives away around $400 million annually to a variety of global causes. 

Really though this shouldn't be all that difficult of a concept.  A billionare gives away 10k annually, or a guy making 35k a year gives away 1k annually, who is more generous?

Actually we did send $35 mil and YOUR logic is retarded.  What about Canada or France? Are they so "less-deleveloped" that they couldnt help us during the Hurricanes or 9/11.

The Bill Gates analogy was so stupid im not even going to comment.

What the fuck is your point about the IRC? The US is not obligated to give shit to other Countries/International Organizations. We just do because we are kind and gernerous people. And what the hell is your point about George Soros? Just because he gives money the government should?

The guy who is making 35k because hes giving 2.8% of his money while the billionare is only giving 0.001% of his money.
