America gives lots of money to other countries, and we obviously dont get anything of value in return, so therefore we are generous enough said.

and youre talking as though america has the right to be greedy, do you think only u as an american deserves a good life ?? FUCK OUT OF HERE DIE BITCH

Once again the "Right" to be greedy?

America made its money and we have the "RIGHT" to do with it however the fuck we want.  We have the right to choose to aid other countries and the right to not aid other countries. We choose to aid them.

last i saw America's currency has written on it "in God we trust", if this is the case America as a nation should uphold God's Law... if you do not know god's law then you should dust off the old bible and read about it.

Have you been living in a cave? America was founded on God, and last time i checked things have changed since then.

But that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic

What about Private donations?  Private Donations are 3 times the amount of government aid so when its all said and done we will be giving over 1 billion.

Reading this thread makes me feel like I'm back in my school history class.

Although I was a classroom assistant at a special needs school.

Here's some stats for you morons, and remember: this was before the tsunami.

International giving by U.S. foundations totals $1.5 billion per year
Charitable giving by U.S. businesses now comes to at least $2.8 billion annually
American NGOs gave over $6.6 billion in grants, goods and volunteers.
Religious overseas ministries contribute $3.4 billion, including health care, literacy training, relief and development.
$1.3 billion by U.S. colleges are given in scholarships to foreign students
Personal remittances from the U.S. to developing countries came to $18 billion in 2000
