150 Arab Nations

You could be talking about Amerikkka here homie!

Are you really this stupid? When a population of 25 million donates 10 million, it's the equivalent of a population with 295 million donating 118 million or so. Granted, that's less than the US is donating, but like i already said, it's not a fucking competition. Their contribution is still significant. By your logic, the US donation is just as insignificant when compared to Japan's donation as the Saudi donation is to the US donation. By the way, comparing per capita donations, Japan's donation is the equivalent of the US donating over 1.1 billion dollars. That's a larger percentage difference than between saudi and the US. Does that somehow mean the US donation isn't up to scratch? Or that the US donation is even more pathetic when compared to Japan's donation than the Saudi donation is to the american donation? A country with just a fraction of the US population is obviously more likely to donate just a fraction of what the US is able to. Australia for example, with a population of 20 million, is donating 60 million. Does this mean they're not pulling their weight?

You're a fucking idiot. I've thought so for a long time, but you have more than confirmed it with this thread.

CET: I stayed in the United Arab Emirates for about 8 or 9 months when my old man had a contract in Abu Dhabi. But we also went on the odd trip to Dubai. In both places, my mother wore regular "western" clothing. The only thing she had to do was wear long pants or a long dress and a long sleeve top. No veils. No need to wear black. But they do request that you dress moderately. It's a matter of respecting another culture's religion and customs.

I know people that have lived in Saudi, and all i can say is that you are wrong. It's very much like the UAE in terms of how they expect foreigners to act. They don't expect you to wear the traditional clothing for muslim women, but they do expect you to dress moderately. Same as in Bahrain. These are just the countries which i have either been to or personally know people that have been there.

Population size is irrelevant. Saudi Arabia has a very high GDP, not as high as the US's, but it's still pretty damn high. It's in the top 10 of the world, if I'm not mistaken. With that in mind, even if their GDP is only 1/10th of America's, they are still underfunding the disaster relief. Of course, they don't have to, but if we're going to sit here and wave dicks about who gives the most money, and point out those who give the least, Saudi Arabia is on the list of those giving the least.

SInce everybody thinks we are going to take over the world. Fuck it lets do it.

They're not giving the least per capita. And who cares if they are giving the least? They're still contributing and they're contributing a significant amount. And by that logic, the US would be underfunding relief in comparison to Japan. Do you agree with that?

That's true. Like I said, it's a bunch of dick waving.

Wow, Sandra! That's a VERY un-American attitude (apart from the attention whoring and allowing it be picked up by the news...). Perhaps Sandra is Japanese? :thumbsup

And the history of Middle Eastern Nations Continues to show what cheap fucks they are in times of disaster.

But they can afford to fund terrorism.

Initially the US only pledged $15 million or something... heh.

They never help others. It's a fact. If the world relied on arab nations to help this world function the whole planet would be one big shit hole.

Wow, that list also makes the US look very stingy! Seems like the victims of the Tsunami pay the price of the war in Iraq. The US prefers to kill rather than to save lives. Shame on Bush...

"The US government has so far pledged $350m to the victims of the tsunami, and the UK government £50m ($96m). The US has spent $148 billion on the Iraq war and the UK £6bn ($11.5bn). The war has been running for 656 days. This means that the money pledged for the tsunami disaster by the United States is the equivalent of one and a half day's spending in Iraq. The money the UK has given equates to five and a half days of our involvement in the war."

:thumbsup for Australia, Germany and Japan!

Seems like the criticism helped these stingy Arab Nations to do a bigger effort:

Notice how they fill it up with Religious idealogue?

30M...

Thats great it really is, no joke. Else where smeone was saying 50M from Saudi's. I guess Saudi Arabia has to carry the weight of it all regarding the Middle East.

This thread was not made to really hate per say this thread was made to help some you folks realise a consistant trend from the Middle East.

And what about Russia, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Kambodia, Ukraine.

The thing with the middle east is that the governments dont have the $.. Famlies do.. I dont see GW Tony Blair or even our PM taken money out of there bank accounts either. See where im going.

On a side note i have a lot more respect for sandra bullock now. 1 mill of her own money.

The only consistent trend i'm seeing is your ignorance and idiocy.

try learning economics+reading something about those countries.

I do not generally respond to retards but since ya beggin for it...

You are biggest retard in this thread stop yourself. You and your population comparisns? WTF ever, your lucky I do not want to sell anything to ya, cuz ya got chump written all over you.

I may not agree with your ideals here but that made me laugh. :1orglaugh

Are you seriously this fucking retarded? Let's make it a little more obvious for you becaue you were clearly brought up around high voltage power lines. Let's say that the US population was 1 billion, and the Saudi population was 10. Yup, just 10 people. The US could easily donate a billion dollars at $1 per capita. Saudi could then donate $1 million per capita and would still only be donating 10 million dollars. 10 million is a far cry from 1 billion. Does this mean they're not pulling their weight?

If you don't get that, then you're an idiot of the highest order.

Hey, Australia recently pledged 875 Million US dollars. That must mean every other country in the world isn't pulling it's weight. Bunch of cheap fucks that don't really care. That was sarcasm by the way. Ordinarily, i don't think i'd feel the need to point it out. I would figure it would be a given that the sarcasm would be picked up, but i'm not so sure when you're going to be reading it.

[QUOTE=AlienQ]Notice how they fill it up with Religious idealogue?QUOTE]

Filling things up with religious idealoque? Now there you have your friend Bush all the way...


And shame on Bush for spending each 36 hours more money to ruin Iraq than the total help he sends to help the Tsunami affected countries.

The US could take a good lesson here from other nations :thumbsup
