Nahhh, fuck the yanks. Their own government left them to suffer so why the fuck should we give more money to be pocketed before it can actually help.
Like I said with the Tsunami thing, I would rather send bags and bags of clothes, at least they might actually get there, whereas money...
Yeah it's a bit of a sorry state of affairs for those that are there, but come on, America spent millions upon millions getting aide to iraq and pretty quckly as well.
I think America have enough money and resources to be able to deal with this. My Conscience is clear I don't feel guity enough to start donating.

You're not supposed to feel guilty to donate.
I agree 100% with Geezer..
The USA is the richest country in the world.. It can support wars everywhere... It can send millions and supplies within hours to the Tsunami victims... But at home it took 4 days...
I don't feel that money from the UK should be sent.. How much did those in the States raise for the victims of the bombings here in July ?
You can call me cold and unfeeling.. Help should have been there immediately. They now have over 30k National Guards in the area.. Whooppee.. They're there to watch for the looters.. Bush has handled this situation so badly I hope he is forced to resign, though I doubt this will happen.

As it goes, the U.S. didnt "send millions and supplies within hours to the Tsunami victims" - they dragged their heals big time until it become somewhat untenable. For days, European countries were raising dough and supplying aid left right and center before the US commited anything.
And - why the fuck should the US have been raising money for the london bombing 'victims'? Don't see the relevance at all.
So why should we raise money for them.. :)

I'm not saying we should - but if we were to raise money for the fuckers that have been left homeless or orphaned etc, perhaps having a bit of compassion is a good enough reason... Doesnt all have to be about politics innit.
I just hate Bush and want him to pay for his fuck up :)
I think you are making the mistake of thinking the US government and the US people are one in the same thing. I doubt the people who have lost everything including their homes, there jobs, all there posesions and maybe there family wanted the U.S government to invade Iraq any more than the London bomb victims over here wanted ours to.
Like it or not the US gave more than everyone else in the world to the Tsunami apeal. Like it or not they give more in charity abroad than any other country in the world. Like it or not they have been a good alley to the UK over the years. Maybe its time for others to step up to the plate

I hate bush but downt see how not helping innocent people in need will help

seeing he had a support and tolerance rate of 70% at the last elections, i don't see why we should think much differently.
why 70% ?
well, some 35% never bothered to vote. so his 51% election win is from the remaining 65%, which makes some 33% of the actual possible voters. add up the actual votes for him plus the 35% tolerance, and you are there.
made the bed. lie in it.

You cant count 35% no voters in with being supporters, becuase 35% didnt feel either party served them, his actual vote was 33%. Just 33% wanted him as leader.
Even so, I didnt vote for Blair but even if I did, I would still think people would help me if I was one of 1 1/2 million people who had been made a flood victim
You cant count 35% no voters in with being supporters,
i didn't. i said tolerance. they tolerated, did not fully oppose it by all legal means.
let's take this to the extreme, to make the point more obvious. the Nazis in Germany never got more than 37.4% in a free election. yet we talk about Nazi-Germany, and see Germans of that time as Nazis by default.
and yes, i do see many similarities between the NSDAP in the 1930s and the Bush administration. that's a whole different topic though.

Agree with Geezer 100%
Donating clothes, kitchen utensils, towels, items those people need makes sense but not money, in my view !

You seem to think there is an alternative in the US that on one side you have Bushes right wing nutters and on the other there was some good and great alternative. Unfortunatly there wasnt. On one side you had right wing nutters and on the other side you had sligtly less right wing nutters.
Also the US like the UK doesnt have a fair political system. Every vote doesnt make count as a vote. The same in the UK. If I voted Labour, Lib dem, or infact any other party apart from the conservative party where I lived, it would be a waitsted vote. Its the same for many states in the US on both sides. Becuase people understand this they dont vote. Just like they dont over here. That doesnt meen they tolerated anything it just means they new it wasnt worth voting becuase where they lived it would make no difference.
OK here is a comprimise. We only send aid to those who voted against bush and let the other 67% suffer
Donating clothes, kitchen utensils, towels, items those people need makes sense but not money, in my view !
Thats what money buys. It buys Kitchen utensils, towels, items those people need, like medical supplis, clean water, food. Most people are not suggesting we send them money for new trainers and baseball caps.
Seems a bit pointless to go to the time and expense of sending towels and kitchen utensils 1/2 way around the world. when with money they can buy them. Plus sending money meens the aid agencies can buy people what they need, as they are there, they can see. It wouldnt be much use having people dying with desease and hunger on the streets all with 10 new shiny towels each

and anything less extremist is a positive thing.
let's look at our radical example again. Nazi-Germany. basically all political parties then had the same opinion about the groups pressured by the Nazis. i guess we agree that a "normal" conservative party would not have ended up taking the same measurements though. which would have been good for everyone involved.

this was never about donations but about how far the US society is to be seen like the US administration.
I think you are making the mistake of thinking the US government and the US people are one in the same thing.

As an American I will say that this is very well stated.
I have been very pissed off and upset at the Federal Government's response time. It is deplorable and heartbreaking to see what these people have gone through. But for now I have to put aside my anger and think of the individuals and do what I can to help them. I am also grateful that Bush cannot be re-elected to another term.

You think Bush will try and change that?

Roosevelt served 3 terms 1933 - 1945. it's nothing new, just takes a slight modification of the rules. and seeing Dubya loves to portray himself as war president, fuck knows what 'crisis' they will come up with.
not saying it will happen, but pointing out it can be done and wouldn't surprise me in the least.

As an American I agree with Justb wholeheartedly. And that was a great post Johny Traffic.
It's very interesting to see everyone's responses here and it doesn't surprise me.
I'll be the first to admit that bush and the current US admin is the worst in American history. It's unfortunate that many in the world equate our government with our people, but trust me in that our country is so divided right now on our "leader"... an overwhelming number of us have wanted him out of office since 2000.

I to agree, I am here in Canada and in no way have I every thought about sending money to help. The only real time I got emotional is when they started showing the footage of the animals. I would send money for them, but then again would it actually be used to take care of them.
Samuel L. Jackson said the other day that he would in no way send cash to the Red Cross, he would rather take them out to eat a meal.

Last week on Jay Leno she stated don't be upset with Bush, you should be upset for all the people that voted for him....
