BTW This the same way Sandino’s regime ended, they with held and tried to control foriegn aid, and the people had enough of the robbery.

Quite frankly, I think it would be unwise to give much money directly to the government; that will disappear into the coffers of corrupt leaders.
I am on the verge of saying that I would support an invasion by some of the regional powers (China, Japan, etc) just to get the needed supplies to these desperate people. Obviously that isn’t going to happen, but the situation there pisses me off.
I like the way you think: sometimes, the situation is so bad, you just gotta send in the troops. Sounds very familiar…
FWIW: I have to give good troll points to Lixy for his participation in the thread. He makes us think — that is rarely bad. But he did hijack, so that’s bad.

His statement and intimation was classless at the very least.

Why are we giving them any money?
How does a hurricane in some asian shithole factor into our nation?
It isn’t our government’s role to wipe the asses, of other countries.
We have our own national disasters to worry about, if Myanmar sucks and can’t even manage to produce it’s own aid, oh fucking well.
Maybe their people should slough their tyrannical loser ass regime, and build a new nation with a strong economy.
It’s not our place to baby sit the mud people nor is it our place to conquer them.
Our tax dollars should never leave the country, unless it is related to some sort of international economic project which produces us profit.
Profit is the bottom line.

…Lastly, if you’re a Christian, they’re killing a bunch of Christian tribes in the highlands there.
I’d be down with supporting the Chrisitans, but see our government doesn’t do stuff like that, apparently it is ‘racist’ to openly support people you share a background with.
I’d be down if we shipped guns in there, and there and made sure the Christians killed the shit out of the buddha heads and muzzies.
Drop John Rambo off too, it doesn’t matter to me.
I guess though, I think pouring 3 million dollars into any bourough of any city of the USA would be a more valuable cause than giving it to a bunch of worthless slants, who have never done anything for us and can’t even do a genocide right.[/quote]
You two both sound like religious racist nuts. What you should be for is getting rid of the Junta and installing a proper Government. Unfortunately for both of you nutjobs, the US doesn’t have the best track record for doing that, so if you do think about going in there guns blazing, then at least have a long term plan.
Buddha heads? Muzzies? Asian shithole? What the fuck?
Fuck, it’s people like you that make everyone from a “Western” country look bad.
Which race was I condemning here? I really shouldn’t dignify this with a response.
I’m neither religious or racist, I’m latino and a lapsed catholic…I just don’t give a flying fuck about what happens to peope outside of my own country.
Until poverty is ended in our own country, I don’t think we should give a dime to anyone else, sorry.
BTW Buddhahead is what Tookie William’s called the people he killed.
It’s an insult towards Asians of largely African American origin.
Wow. So your humanity is bound by the borders of your own country. Nice.
I agree that money shouldn’t be sent to Burma/Myanmar if people aren’t going to get aid from it, but the way you’ve worded your responses are just idiotic.
Look at what I quoted back, at tell me that isn’t racist or at least xenophobic. Why bring Christianity into it? Why use the term “asian shithole”.
Note how I refrained from actually calling you two ‘religious nuts’ - I said that’s what you sounded like.
Try and think before you post.
I have though it out… I do not care about the fucking Burmese people and don’t give a shit, what happens to them.
It pisses me off, that people are wasting our tax dollars on a bunch of short limp dick oompa loompas across the earth, when there are things we could spend this on in our country.
I don’t care about the humans in Burma. I have no feelings towards them or for them. They are not my brothers, cousins, country men, or even my race or religion.
Fuck them. I don’t get what I’m not thinking out about this.
Our taxes>Our Money>Our Government>Our People
That’s how I see it.
If wanna go cry a river for a bunch of dirty illiterate subhumans across the world, go smoke a bowl with Jane Fonda hippy, but you’re not guilting me into it.

Here’s an update…It’s just astounding. My jaw hits the floor daily at the cruelty of this government.
Highlights:
"The United States has sent more aid to cyclone-devastated Myanmar amid allegations that the ruling military junta is keeping the best foreign supplies for itself and doling out rotting food. "
Handing out rotting food? OMG!!! I can’t even find words.
“The European Union is also sending an aid plane from Sweden carrying 150 tents and four aid workers, having been requested by the Myanmar government, AP reported Tuesday.”
Woooptiedoo! Way to step up to the plate there Europe. What’s wrong, broke?
