Yeah, nevermind the people who are actually dying.

Or the fact that they're discouraging charity. They think the boys don't play the game anyway?

how about a HL2 tournament to raise money for the victims of the bush administration?

Pfft.. we would only raise a fraction of what would be needed


Anyway... I hate people like that... who stops things like that... In finnish we have a word for them... they are called Kukkahattutätejä in finnish, a rough translation would be old ladys with flower hats

Ah, I believe your slang for that would translate to grannies.

Not .. like a grandmother.. but grannies.. naggers.. protesting piddley things that do not need it and are dingbats (mainly things like this "IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN)

Australia's government already gave 1 billion dollars. How much money do the countries need?

 

[Vorac1ous]

Apparently to the idiocy of the worlds population, about $99,000,000,000.00 more.

The problem with this disaster is that while a load of people have gone "Oh dear that looks a little awful lets donate!" When other just as important emergencys happen how many people give money? Very little. It also gets minimal news coverage.

I saw a program where a charity member compared contributions. In Cheznia (sp?) during some sort of disaster all that was raised was about $4 per person effected. Wheres the Mozambique flooding raised $40 per person affected. On this disaster? $400 Per person effected. And that was a while ago.

Makes you think don't it.
