[censored]? <br><br>the public begins to donate<br>and there will certainly be a real need to continue donating for a good while

[censored], you are standing in it. <br>For all innocent parties that may have been hurt or offended, I humbly apologise for opening this can of social worms but as I hope you may see, I felt the need to prise open a locked door. Thank all you average Americans whom took out their pocketbook and opened it instead of shooting off their mouth. I am glad to have been a part of this process.<br><br>You may wish for this thread to be buried but as history will surely show, this will prove to be be the thread you buried yourselves in.<br>Thank you for partaking in this human behavioural science project.<br><br> *click.<br>Tsunami leaves millions homeless<br>If you check this list you will note that a large number of earthquakes have occurred worldwide in the last 7 days. This map shows where the major ones have occurred in this time.<br>NYE04: Sydney reflects<br><br><br>but where will we be when the future comes?

Hmmmmm.... I could swear you said you were leaving here. Going back on the word that we had hoped you would keep... now my weekend is ruined.<br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Thirdly, there's a lot more than the simple cash donations, there's the cost of sending aircraft carriers, transport planes, heavy equipment, debt forgiveness, etc.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Exactly. Besides, if you're standing in a pile of sh!t surrounded by dead bodies, what good does it do for Uncle W to give you a bunch of money? It doesn't. By the time this is all over, those countries will be awash in so much cash they'll be looking for ways to spend it. <br><br>What they need is coordination, help with logistics, military hardware, helicopters, air drops, food, etc. All of that costs money, but a lot of it's being provided by any number of countries, including the Brits, the Aussies, Americans, etc., although it's not added in the cash contribution total. <br><br>Anyway, whatever happened to "it's the thought that counts?" It's not the countries affected doing the complaining anyway. <br><br>

Great. Now please go away, again. For real this time.<br><br>

As I said early on, we don’t need to assume .. from the words you use .. you do enough of Ass-U-me-ing for all of us.<br><br>You're making as little sense as ever- how were our words conveying ANYTHING about the Malaysia tragedy if there were no posts to begin with?<br><br>And if your next reply was to be "No posts about the tragedy speaks for itself", my answer (and several others as well) was that you were assuming we didn't care or weren't aware of the situation because there was nothing but fluff floating around in the forum these past few days.<br><br><embed src="http://homepage.mac.com/pmrsich/.Public/sounds/dumbass.wav" width=320 height=25 controller=true autoplay=false type=video/quicktime><br><br>Face it, you came off like some sort of stuck-up, 'holier-than-thou' icon, chastising the rest of us for not 'caring', and now you're backtracking into some 'social experiment' baloney. You don't know us all personally, and you DON'T presume to know what goes on in our private lives and what sorts of conversations we have amongst friends & family.<br><br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>You don't know us all personally, and you DON'T presume to know what goes on in our private lives and what sorts of conversations we have amongst friends & family.<br><p><hr></blockquote><p>Well, I DO, because I have cameras hidden all over your house! But don't worry about it, I won't tell anyone about that thing you do with the dog! <br><br>

that appeared to me to be his point<br> all fluff, no consistency<br><br>well here at least is some good news
