'they just sat on their butts'? 'pretty stupid'? You don't think that's name calling?

simon, oh in that case I misunderstood... I thought name calling in the English language was directly saying.. for example "Idiots", or something like that.

It would have been more precise if I'd written 'derogatory characterisations' instead, but I think it still counts as name calling - it was calling the victims lazy and stupid.

Some of the people are still refusing to move. You call that intelligent?

Nor we are calling all victims "stupid" or "lazy" as you hallucinate we are, nor all victims refused to leave the city. There's people that died trying to get to safety. |

That's your own imagination considering we're condeming ALL and EVERY victim lazy or stupid. I wish people would stop assuming we're out to have the heads of the hurricane victims just because we're not american ourselves.

Oh, so if I condemn you to be pedant and constantly misunderstanding, am I condemning every british born member of the forum to be the same? Seriously, climb off your cloud of righteousness; everyone will have their opinion and there's nothing more awful than someone trying to singlehandedly convince everyone that they're wrong.

From what i've seen, many countries are sending help to the US (which i do think is ridiculous because sending help to the US is like donating money to Bill Gates), but from i've seen, US mainstream media are not mentioning this fact at all (probably because they think it's shameful to receive foreign help) and US authorities are not using or even refusing this help, which shows that foreign help is unnecessary and unwanted by American people themselves.
Some people have compared this hurricane to the tsunami in south-east Asia, personally i think the tsunami was much worse, much more people died and it happened in countries with much less financial resources than the US, however this hurricane will cost much more money than the tsunami. Like an American trader said when asked if the tsunami would have an impact on Wall Street "The tsunami won't have a serious financial impact, many people died and many infrastructures were destroyed but none of those were insured so it won't cost anything to insurance companies, the impact on the market will be minimal, it could even be positive since the reconstruction will open up many business opportunities for our companies". Anyway, the climate is changing and natural catastrophes are going to increase all over the planet, we will all be hit by something at some point. |

There is a mexican convoy of 50 eight wheelers in it's way to the US, with food, water, clothes, and resources for portable home construction, and our biggest war boat, the Papaloapan, will be arriving at the site of disaster next week with just as many medical aid as our country could give up.
I honestly would find it disgraceful if a nation's pride makes it unable to accept help. |

As far as I am concerned, I am grateful for the outpouring of compassion exhibited by foreign countries and their citizens. I also know a lot of other Americans are as well. Quote:

I agree it's ridiculous to send aid to the United States. I think it's being offered not because countries think they really need it, but for political reasons, to show gratitude from countries that have recieved American aid, or to make a point, particularly in the case of Cuba's offer of aid. The aid offers haven't been ignored by the American media - a quick Google News search showed that it has been reported by CBS, CNN, USA Today, the International Herald Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Boston Globe, the Miami Herald, the Seattle Post Intelligencer and the San Jose Mercury News among others.
