Tsunami - political thread. Overheats? POLITICS
Yep, that's exactly what they want you to do.

Feel free to carry on cheering the US when twice as many peope could have been helped if both groups had got involved.

We should be so so proud of ourselves shouldn't we?

You know, when people are proud that one group of people have pushed another group of people to one side just so that they can 'help' I really find myself wishing that Mega-Tsunami would hurry up. National pride is more important than life? And we call ourselves Homo-sapiens?

hey EU has militarys do it your self. However, I honestly get the feeling that this is less about helping people and more about resentment. What evidence do you have anyway that cooperation with the UN would have brought about any faster results or better. Some biased UN buerecrat?

As for team work, the door swings both ways. When you want others to work as a team you don't insult, belittle and demean them before hand.

As for a "Mega Tsunami," lol. A "mega Tsunami" would wash away that little speck of an island you live on as well. Oh, congradulations of taking this thread up a notch, or I should say down a notch. Kudos.

Just like you do to the UN you mean?

As for helping out, yes, that's right, you carry on your little snit against the UN, you've had it since the Iraq war, it doesn't matter if a few thousand people die so you can go 'Nur nur' does it?

Red, for one, If my 'speck' of as island gets washed away big deal. So you just let people carry on dying so you can feel superior.

Do you think because America is 'big' it is good? I never reallised you worked on Phallic principles.

Just pointing out that you are wishing for your own damnation as well.

Maybe not, but by referring to an island as a 'speck of a country' you have actually explained a great deal about certain parts of America's view of other parts of the world, so Kudos to you too.

Calm down guys, lets try and keep the name calling out of it - even if it is fairly justified.

Without that little island your country wouldn't exist son, and don't forget it.

Anyway, this is not why I came into this thread.



My attention was caught by HIG's post in the main tsunami thread in which he pointed out US casualty figures from Colin Powell with great over-drama.... even after they've been posted in Clave's tally one post previously.

Now, I'm understanding that one would be worried about the death toll of a certain nation, but it just gave me the impression he saw that as more of a loss than the other thousands who were actual natives of the region...

I may be over-analyzing.

Achtung, Without our big country your little island would be part of the 3rd reich. And if not for your country we would speak French or Spanish. That is all. The only claim of influence, in any positive way, England can claim is the strides made via the Magna Carta.

But that is not what this thread is about...

I'll say it before Vyper does, it's Britain, not England, British tend to get a bit touchy about that, kinda like calling a Canadian an American ;)

Well since none of you managed to act like adults and instead attempted to flaunt your egos infront of people you think actually care, this thread is now locked.

Congratulations.
