AND? There's war in Congo, famine in Niger, an intifada in Western Sahara and you wnat to focus on how some filthy rich country wants to handle some extreme weather .....?
Once again the lure of the west wins out.... ;-)

Human suffering is the same wherever it happens Bobo. The US Administration is one thing. Ordinary US citizens are another. Human beings are human beings.

If the lure of the West is so repugnant, why don't you go home?!

Ghazala, do you ever read posts before you reply to them? At no time did I say the West was repugnant nor do I find it so.
I made an ironic point about how poor nations, and their plight, are , generally, ignored by the media... Not too hard to understand , now was it?

No, you made what YOU THINK was an 'ironic point'. There is a difference Bobo. I know when I see irony. What I see is an idiot trying to be clever, yet failing dismally. Note I said 'trying'

i agree with both of u! at the end of the day human beings are human being, they have nothing to do with the political side of it all.

its true they dont advertise those poor ppl in africa, they dont highlight that they have no homes no food and no water but i think the reason for this is bcoz whats happening in america is what u call freak weather.

i feel for those humans who have no food no water and no family. This is life, r life is a test, how we go abt it is all down to us.

Brim, do u give to charity?? if so u give to those in world war 3 countries and ghazela u give to who u want, me i give to any1 who is in desperate need.
