Let us appreciate in heart how much we have received from the US, rather than how much we have not received. (Edited because it seems to be ungrateful to complain about the help we received) Last edited: 27-Apr-15 10:03 AM

If Nepalese were black, they would have send a lot more, not only that all the Hollywood actors would have come forward to help. George Clooney would have been the first. When there was earthquake in Japan, there was slow response by US. But, for some other countries such as Haiti, they were very quick to response with huge effort and huge amount. This is political correctness created by liberal hippie phuckers.

I would love to see that whole 1 million dollar utilized, I heard all the aid supply has been halted inside the airport and I heard some merchant are selling blankets and food to those poor for 10X the normal price. Where is that 1 million dollar money when people in need cannot get one.
satrianic · Apr 27, 2015 8:28 AM
Chillax, ingrates. This is standard procedure. As soon as local authorities declare an emergency, a certain amount is instantly made available, with a much larger aid package to follow. But, please, just come out tell us cheap Americans how much we have to give y'all. Nobody likes aggressive panhandlers.
sajhakoraja · Apr 27, 2015 9:30 AM
Seriously??? This is said by a guy who post nothing but propaganda against America and Christainity. Please read all the past post from this guy, they are nothing but hatred towards America. Why the hell do you care now? FYI, it is a protocol to begin with small amount and it will increase with the need. Go back and do what you are good at - spreading hatred with your conspiracy theory.

I agree 100% with what Solu123 has to say and I consider myself a "liberal hippie phucker". Almost all world leaders have mention Nepal earthquake one way or another but nothing from my beloved Obama so far, not even a small tweet.
Jonny · Apr 27, 2015 10:11 AM
FYI, 9 millions have been added on top. Update yourself. Oh wait. You are busy watching conspiracy theory website.
Vhootee · Apr 27, 2015 10:12 AM
That was not even USA donation...just an Embassy rebate from all the visa fee collected in couple days. Obama is probably still giggling over his White House Dinner Jokes to himself. The bottom line is that poor people only have each other and no one else.

Another 9 million dollar added bu US on top of initial 1 milllion just now. https://www.facebook.com/usdos...
paani_ma_paade_jasto · Apr 27, 2015 11:07 AM
If nothin else, Hillary tweeted the first day about the disaster. I have always been adamant about black/white issues. They don't care about others. So be careful how much you get involved in supporting black issues. Trust me, black care less about us than white. Right now and for the future, go see how many of these rescue team and volunteers in Nepal that are from America are white and black. Don't have to go that far, set up a donation in your state for Nepal right now, you will see how many black will come forward compare o white. The bottom line is white people will have more sympathy and will know about Nepal. Foook Obama. He is no better than George Bush right now for Nepal and Nepali.

talking about it does make a difference..... Internet is getting scanned and report every second and they do watch what people are posting. The point was to complain about 1 million dollar donation....the point was to be surprised and disgusted from the " greatest country of the world" to donate equal or lesser than one of the poorest and smallest in the world like Bhutan... Be the greatest country by action and not by words....
sidster · Apr 27, 2015 12:33 PM
This is not time to complain who is giving what. $1M was for mobilization only, more will be coming ($9M just added). Besides, whatever we get, we should take it with appreciation, not complain about it.

US government gives $132 Million to UNICEF every year. In the same manner US government give millions of dollars to Red Cross, Mercy Corps, Doctors Without Borders and dozens of other organizations. In total US is the number one (1) in the world to donate money and resources to charitable organisations. Total is in Billions. US believes in helping through trusted and transparent organizations like UNICEF, red Cross Etc. In that way they are confident that the money reaches to the needy; not the government officials. They have learned that. On top of that it adds more depending on the situation. I hope this helps understand better. Icanfly - (no more after the earthquake)
