RE: Where's the international help

I'm also wondering if perhaps (some countries) look at a country that already owes out 20 TRILLION DOLLARS and thinks, something along the following lines

"Well, after Katrina we all chipped in raised $800 million, but they didn't seem to want it ... maybe they felt insulted by us offering? Maybe we'd better not offend them by making further offers ? ?

or

" Hmmmm, tricky one this cos every million bucks we chip in for aid is a million dollars that they don't have to find themselves. The 'million' number is interesting as that's how much they (US Govt) pay Raytheon for each missile ... Nah, best keep it ... they'll just spend it more missiles that' will do more 'accidental' damage to hospitals, weddings and funeral than (say) Syrian airbases "

Could be any number of reasons eh ?

I'll be honest though - even though I don;t watch a lot of TV I haven't seen any adverts by Red Cross or similar appealing for help.

RE: Eat It

Boerwurst ( south african sausage ) about a mile long and made by a local butcher, cooked on a little mustard oil ( makes it piquey) onions n garlic sauteed in the fat from the sausage, stock to make the gravy and served with mashed potatoes with so much butter mashed in that you'd think I didn't care about the ludicrous price we have to pay here !

Burp ...

:-)

RE: Would you like to live longer .. or better?

I'm kind of hoping / expecting both ... I;ve had some excellent role models of men and women who lived well and well into the high numbers!

Even now as I look across the street I see my neighbour a tall upright and unbowed by age gent who's closer to 96 than 95 backing the trailer into his drive after taking it filled with garden waste to the green tip!



an occasional Guinness helps too :-)

RE: boring

Bitterness is so unbecoming ... yet it drips so easily from you as if you had a vat of it?

You know perfectly well what was said.

But pffffft and away with you Trollette ... summons up the Anglo-Irish-Croatian-Coven and see if you can manage to ruffle me with another en-masse spell :-)

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good...

RE: Who plays you?

Indeed, your very own words of insult to Serene played back to you and 'you have no idea'

A near perfect illustration in irony !

RE: ....And today's new word is.....................................

The Fabulous aliiteration of a Fun-da-mentally Flabbergasting Fiasco perhaps ?

RE: Who plays you?

RE: Who plays you?

Such a beautiful irony ... when you just posted this to insult serene

:rofl: There's rumours going around that you developed Pit Bull teeth and Lizard snake shape of tongue.
No wonder why your hiding half of your face, between nouse and chin.uh oh wow rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing teddybear

Have you ever thought to hold up a mirror to yourself ?



Note the shrivelled red rose in her wizened paw ... indicating the imaginary engagement to the one who drools and flatters perhaps ?


Have fun Trollette ... gather up the Rest of The Ugly Dozen of the Grand Coven and gimme the worst you can scrape up n fling.

I'll be in the bar laughing at y'all

:flower:

RE: boring

Easy enough to figure who starts such rumours though ... wouldn't you say ?

RE: boring

Indeed ... it's like you rubbed the lamp three time and summonsed the Ugly Genie to appear

I bet that you never realised she'd been a model before y'know 'the current thing' afflicted her ...

RE: Where's the international help

One does yes and I'll freely admit it ... but surely you see the relevance ?

Over $800,000 was offered after Katrina ... and it was refused

Less was offered after Harvey

Less again after Irma ...



Only Britain, France and Holland are named there though !

Using phone to reply here ... I'll send you the other links later when home!


But make no mistake, having this conversation about the ins and outs of aid logistics, does NOT detract in way from my good wishes towards all who've suffered

RE: Where's the international help

Some interesting links



" The USA is woefully unprepared and unable to ACCEPT foreign aid ..."

America’s longstanding friend Israel just kicked into gear with its experienced aid teams for Texas. Belgium may, too, as it has always felt obligated to help the USA ever since Herbert Hoover’s heroically successful post-WWI efforts to save that starving nation.


Fewer countries have publicly offered aid.

[America sanctioned Venezuela. Then it offered $5 million in aid to Harvey victims.]

The European Union sent satellites. In a statement, Mexico offered “help and coordination” to Harvey-ravaged Texas, though they didn't go into specifics

I guess much depends upon where you look and whether or not you intend to find it ?

Confirmation bias ?????

RE: Where's the international help

So is this BS ?

Or are you claiming that nothing is happening 'just because' YOU have not heard of it ?

First click on google showed British French and Dutch were not only offering aid 'after the event' but has those thing set up in advance of Irma...

Meanwhile, back on the top "America First' there seems to be some inequality amongst US Citizens ???

Puerto Ricans and residents of the US Virgin Islands are struggling to pick up the pieces following Hurricane Irma’s pummeling of the Caribbean — and Hurricane Jose is knocking on their door.

After wreaking havoc in the Leeward Islands, the hurricane scooted just north of Puerto Rico, sparing it the most catastrophic damage. While St. Croix, one of three islands that make up the US Virgin Islands, experienced only minor damage, the storm hit sister islands St. John and St. Thomas head on, destroying nearly everything in its wake.

As of Sunday, officials said 27 people died from Irma-related incidents in the Caribbean region, including three deaths reported in the US islands of St. Thomas and St. John.

While the cleanup effort begins, many residents of these US territories say the challenges of storm relief they face are not just the devastation, but also neglect from the continental US.

“We’re always feeling like second-class citizens. They just skip over us and it hurts,” says Stephanie Brown, a local reporter on the island of St. Croix. Between press conferences and reporting, she’s fielding messages from frantic Virgin Islanders in the continental US and abroad, desperately seeking updates from the ground or word about a missing relative.

Trouble is, Alda always seems to have it for more than his fair share and rarely lets you have a go ;-)

RE: Where's the international help

Just gonna have to call your bluff on no one helping.

Trillions of dollars in debt - good point, but that was due in part to profligate spending in the past, and most especially in the recent (Obama) past!

I wonder, how much would you get away with owing the shopkeepers in your city before they stopped giving you goods you were never gonna pay for ?

Just a thought ?

Meanwhile, godspeed to those who are working on recovery

RE: Why do Australian aboriginal peeps have blonde hair?

You know perfectly well ... playing dumb / innocent only makes matters worse

RE: Who wants to chat

Cynicism ... there's no cynicism there !

Someone seeks to chat, you offered, got no reply ... tell me " Does that not look like a rejection of your offer? "

Y'all have a nice day now ;-)

RE: Why do Australian aboriginal peeps have blonde hair?

I see it ... but personal attacks are never nice and this isn't even clever enough to be well concealed
