deadliest hurricane in US history

we didn't see any international aid response to that.
Galveston just went about rebuilding itself.

how much foreign aid came to Florida for this last year?

charity begins at home.

 

I'm sure the people in Florida still living in FEMA trailers will be
happy to see American relief money going to Somalia and Sri Lanka and
not rebuilding infrastructure in Port Charlotte nor Vero Beach.

There is no federal deficit and no shorfall of funding for school or
health or emergency programs in America either. Why, we are just flush
with cash!

How much have you personally donated to any of the relief efforts in
Florida or Asia ? $100.00 ?

Not likely.

 

I wonder how many Allstate, Farmers, State Farm agents there are in Sri
Lanka and Indonesia to sell homeowners insurance? I wonder what the death
toll was in Florida as compared to what's going on with these Tsunamis?

Get the point?

I didn't think so.

 

How many casualties were in all the storms of Florida last year? In the past
10 years?

Every year storms hit the coast lines here in the US and every year there's
a bunch of irresponsible republican nut-jobs without insurance and with
their hands out begging for money from the government.

I started to write out a big long response, but then it dawned on
me....you're just not worth it. Again, I'd have to agree with Morgan and say
you're just fuckin' stupid.

 

Oh, I forgot...speaking of making one's self "fat"....

 

so what. now we're the worlds' insurance agent?

there are no uninsured people in Florida living in trailers wondering
what to do for housing? FEMA and the American Red Cross are fully
funded?

cool... nice to see we have the money for all that and the deficit is
rectified.

I never did get a response on how much money anyone here has personally
dontated to the relief efforts. I asked about $100.00 personal donation,
maybe that was too much.

anyone here even donated $10.00 ? $5.00 ?

talk is cheap.....

 

I knew you wouldn't "get it".

Yup, sure is! Been donating to the victims of Florida?

 

Oh, I get it, I don't support us being the worlds insurance agent of
last resort while we have uninsured homeless elderly in our country and
VA hospitals and veterans benefits are being cut domestically. Sri
Lanka isn't that important compared to Americans in need.

Nope. I'm the one advocating not spending budgeted emergency funds
overseas so it can be used on domestic problems, remember?

Others like yourself want to spend loads of money overseas, but not any
of your own. All the relief agencies are asking for cash to spend in
the Indian Ocean rim countries. If you think it's a good idea,
contribute to it beyond lip service with some real cash of your own.

 

Good, that's what I like to see from people who espouse it.

the news certainly does pump things up. the Darfur genocide, which is
still ongoing, has 80,000 dead and two million displaced asnd starving.
It doesn't have flashy news footage, exotic resorts or interviews with
swimsuit models so it doesn't get as much play tho', so those poor
bastards in Darfur continue to get killed and suffer. the US is now up
to 350 million and climbing, or roughly the budget of the new football
stadium to be built in Arlington.

I put a higher priority on unaddressed domestic problems before those of
the third world. It's also interesting to see which disasters are
deemed worthy of news coverage and relief and which aren't. Rwanda,
Cambodia, central African AIDS and Darfur need better public relations,
even with having the same numbers of dead and homeless as the tsunami
victims.

 

I am honest. I heven't donated to any body out of my city limits.
Charity starts at home. I have a grand daughter, that would come first
And other family members that I would help first. Sorry about that.
<>Hey, Has Another Viewer told us how much he has donated?<>?

like all his other bullshit.. just that.. LMAO..

Where did i do that? I prioritize American needs over foreign. Is that
wrong ?

the tsunami is the current popular disaster. give it six months and
something else will be the pop culture cause de jour while previous
disasters of equal scope remain unresolved and forgotten.

I haven't said anything about getting anything back, i'm about
prioritizing within a limited budget. my priorities go to the
Americans in need above foreign aid. More funding for the VA, more aid
for the elderly uninsured homeless, better pay for troops in combat and
better benefits for those and their families injured or killed in
military service rank way above servicing foreign aid disasters. If
someone wants to volunteer their own time and money as they see fit for
foreign aid, that's great.

 

You are nothing more than a lying prick that wants to be a "player".. Usenet
bullshit is a far cry from making a difference.. Until your fat ass is
exposed, all you will do is paw dirt and beller.. Then you will tape out
your name tag and piss on yourself. I'm not finished with you, yet..
turd..Get yourself a deep seat somewhere.. it's gonna be a long ride...

 

I've already expressed my position of not having interest in the tsunami
and am not donating to it. It is only the most recent of major
disasters that occupy the news and popular culture for a while and then
is forgetten as something else comes along to occupy the mass mind set.

Domestic problems, as previously described in my other posts, have a
much higher priority to me.

Of all the people who are promoting tsunami relief, only one has
actually donated themselves, that being Morgan. Good for him, everyone
else just gives lip service.

 

aaaahhhhh.... that is so commendable.. I am suitably impressed... hmmm...
Now.. just which of those domestic issues are you addressing and what action
are you taking to redress them ??

 

Nope.. matter of fact, I commended you on that I even asked you for more
details of just which "domestic issues" that you are actively participating
in... So far.. no response... There's quite a few of those issues being
addressed in the legislative session this month.. I'm sure that you will
participate and " make a meaningful difference"... right.. sport ?

 

And the next logical question deems: "What have *you* done for any of
those?".

I already had the answer given...."Nope".

The only thing you mostly do is claim you're somehow connected with a
foundation which has no records of your existence. That's what you do.

Once again, I'm compelled to agree with Morgan and say "you are a selfish
prick that does not give a shit about anyone but yourself so its pointless
to discuss this further".

 

He didn't say he did "anything"....just what he puts priorities on.

Of course, nothing + nothing = nothing.

 

Galveston was an example that no one did come to our aid, while we, as a
country, do tremendous amounts for others

Cite please.

 

It's nice that you whoop out the "homeless and veterans" card. I guess when
bringing up the hurricanes that killed 6 and destroyed a few uninsured
resorts didn't sway anyone to your generosity, then you had to go to the
next step.

Keep it. We all know how far you'll go to help others.
