Gunner   11 #121 Posted January 4, 2005 I am not a lover of the USA but, Here we have a case of damned if you do, Damned if you do not. I do not think that commerce is on the minds of the US at the moment. After all they are agreeing to suspend all debts at this time. What sickens me is the crime that this has created. Kidnapping etc Looting. These people should face the death penalty if caught. We should also be looking at the positive side of all the help and the countries that are contributing. Not trying to find a motive for the reason they are helping. I sometimes question those that advertise the amount they have donated, Such as a woman stating she had given £2000 of her savings, Does she want a medal. Most of us donate what we can we do not state how much or how hard it is for us to do so. I am seeing a lot of hypocracy coming to the fore now. Maybe we should keep to what is happening out there and even our own ideas etc. I know a guy that gave £5. today, Just about all he had. I admire him for that, But, I was also shocked to find out that the people he gave the money to were con men. No-One has mentioned the fact that there are a lot of conmen cashing in on this, Going round with make shift tins Buckets etc. These idiots need catching and jailing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
