ok for starters...........we pledged somethin like 35 million dollars.......what do i see wrong with that?.....gee i dunno......maybe cuz i dont see the red cross come runnin down to our local ghetto when a gangbanger lights a local block on fire to prove that he "owns it"........i also see things like local govs and towns laying off fathers and mothers from their jobs because the money isnt their..........causing these fathers and mothers to have to look their kids in the eyes and tell them there is no more food.......how about we "trickle down" some money from the gov for that ****?

next off.......wtf does my brother have to do with this?......my brother pays taxes both in singapore and here.........how much of his money is singapore spendin ........? how much money does the indian gov give to the red cross? i mean u even said they take 95 percent of salaries right?


and lastly dont question what bi have personally done for others.......cuz like u said this isnt about individuals its about "world wide organization"n so better yet......whens the last time the red cross took up a collection for the homelsss in harlem? what time will the red cross be showing up at the mexican border to keep illegal immigrants form coming in and causing more people to go hungry and homeless? *** that im gettin tired of this bleeding heart liberal ****..........if they thought they could rob us blind tomorrow without a repercussion they would do it........i feel for all the people who lost others......it was a tradgedy.......a terrible one.......mother nature can be cruel.........but one more question can someone look up the figures on how much money asian countries gave during the san fran earthquakes 10 or so years ago (actually it was probably more than that but i think we all remeber the eartquakes where people were trapped between decks of bridges)........if i rember correctly.....we footed the majority of that bill..........but hey....thats what were supposed to do right?
