The United States, has a rising unemployment rate (9.7% in 2010 from a 5.8% in 2008), a declining GDP (lost 2.6% last year), a rising debt. The United States is not as well off as the Netherlands. We have more than twice the unemployment rate, and a debt that by the year 2020 will be nearly impossible to reverse. The United States, by eNoq's opinion should never donate any money in the near future because our economy is decreasing. Why the hell should we help people when we have more and more people unable to get ANY job. But guess what? We donated $100 million so far, and are going to donate up to 3 or 4 times that amount. I have recently donated to Haiti, only a couple hundred dollars, but I know that at least one person will be able to get some food for a day. Want to know why people want to help people like this? Why should people at all help those in need? Why should I give money to someone I don't even know, who lives in a shack in the poorest country in the hemisphere, when I can use that money to save for a new car? Well maybe these are some reasons as to why I should wait a little bit longer for that car. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.belpoz.com/spa/_files/spa_album/pic_6009.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.belpoz.com/spa/_files/spa_album/pic_5929.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://s.ngeo.com/wpf/media-live/photologue/photos/2010/01/13/cache/025612_600x450.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://s.ngeo.com/wpf/media-live/photologue/photos/2010/01/13/cache/025610_600x450.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://s.ngeo.com/wpf/media-live/photologue/photos/2010/01/13/cache/025609_600x450.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4372/slide_4372_61447_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4372/slide_4372_61452_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4372/slide_4372_61725_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4372/slide_4372_61730_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4372/slide_4372_61726_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4402/slide_4402_61812_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4402/slide_4402_61823_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4402/slide_4402_61807_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4402/slide_4402_61803_large.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/4402/slide_4402_61811_large.jpg) (yes those ARE dead bodies) Is your country as bad as this? It doesn't matter where you live, I seriously doubt your life is as bad as this right now. Do you really need that $1.50 that you were going to spend to upgrade your Big Mac from McDonalds from a small to a large, more than they do? I seriously doubt it. Anyone who says otherwise I will believe is a self centered, egotistical, shit talking, sympathy starving, spoiled bitch. Your life is NOT as bad as theirs. You CAN help them. Telling other people not to help those who are fighting for their fucking lives, is one of the worst things I think anyone can do. Edit: Sorry to continue derailing the thread. | ||

Germany a country that has 84MILLION PEOPLE IN ITS COUNTRY is donating 20million while the we as one of the smallest countries in the world with 15million people GIVE fucking 84million doesnt make any motherfucking sense indeed. (at least thats what i heard) -.- We could Probably have bought Haiti for 84Million. Gotta love Holland, yawn. Another thing Haiti only has 9million citizens ~ thats not that fucking much i think we gave enough money already. (the entire world together that is) how much are they gonna need. I think we are giving way way way more in total then they actually need, we basicly gave them so much that they can rebuild their country x10 or something (they didn't have anything to begin with but some concrete wtf buildings) edit: and from those 9million only 1million doesn't have a roof above their heads anymore. kekekek Thanks for being with me  | ||

You don't get it do you, I made a little map for you take a look + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3313/worldg.png) Oh and btw 86.000.000 Euro is 121.569.600 Dollar (so we gave more then you guys did AT the moment) Our point is why are we in The Netherlands giving such an INSANE amount of money compared to any other country in the world. If anything WE Dutch people should be complaining about HOW YOU GREEDY AMERICANS don't give shit compared to us. Why is a country that has 20x as less people living in it donating the same amount of money. | ||

That's more than every countries government aid combined, including our own. It's also the highest % of GDP given to charity by any country. I don't think you can do too much complaining about how Americans don't give shit compared to you  | ||
