I'm just saying we shouldn't give them MONEY. Which is something that they have enough of.

When your ATM is carried out to sea, how do you get money?

Oh please.

Are you serious?

Money is not an immediate issue when a huge wave wipes out your village.

I can't believe you're asking such a question. I mean you really think that we need to give money because the poor people of Japan lost their ATM machines?

I mean if that's the case you're making then you've grossly misunderstood the context in which aid is distributed as well as the point I've been trying to make.

Well then way to misunderstand pretty much the entire thread.

It's ironic giving charity to a country that is so rich and probably quite thouroughly insured.

It's like giving money to Charlie Sheen if his house blew up.

I've decided to delete the emotional appeal because the merits of my argument are purely rational, that and I'm sick of my comments being misinterpreted as being "heartless" or "sick"

It seems you have erased your original post. You say your reasons are "rational" but can no longer share them.

Let me know when you are done editing that post.

You constantly refer to the Japanese government stating it has enough money although I don't believe you know the true facts. However, the Japanese people are not simply being helped by the government, charities, most notably the Red Cross is involved. The Red Cross is a charity and depends on donations and no doubt their help along with that of foreign relief teams is needed. From what you wrote earlier I think you have just got a hang up about races which are hardly relevant in this issue. Just in case you forgot lots of other nations helped Haiti and some most likely still are.

people are people disasters are disasters.

we should at least help where we can without somebody trying to tell us who or what we should do.

i shall never understand ronin--- he should not be dictating to us.
