Withat all the U.S. bashing that goes on around here (me too, I plead guilty at times), it is interesting to note that Americans are the most generous givers in the developed world.

Twice as generous as Canadians and Brits, and almost 12 times more giving than the French as a share of their income.

Salute!

Careful Denny Im sure there are enough America haters here to refute your observation. I do believe we had a thread about this a while back.

That so called "giving," is nothing more than a neocon fundamentalist christian way to spread empire and genocide. We gave the Indians blankets too, remember?

How dare you come on this forum and suggest that Americans may have some redeeming qualities! That's just not true, but most of all it's not cool.

Don't you know that everyone hates the Americans? Or atleast that's what they tell us (I wonder if we should question the people that are telling us that? Why they are telling us that? I wonder if it's the same people that won't protect our borders and are looting the public treasury? Are they the same people who told us we are either in a red state or a blue state even though it's a one party system? NEOPO! I'm starting to catch on to this shit)

It is much more cool to figure out the 999 ways that the US deserved 9/11 and that their government was behind it as well.

"Blowback." Everything bad that happens to the US is a result of a failed CIA policy in some far away country. If you remember one thing, remember that. I read that in a Noam Chomsky book, and OMG! Noam Chompsky is like the totally most smartest awesome intellectual there is. He's like the most quotest intellektual ever of all time!

I dont quote chomsky - I get quoted.....
PFFFT!! Your feeble flame next to my raging sun...

Obesity is an epidemic......every 5 seconds someone dies of starvation and it is usually a child under the age of 5.

Americans spend more on pet food then baby food each year and that is probably many orders of magnitude more then we "give" to poor nations.
Yuck yuck.....

I'll stop here so you can pick up your rotten fuckin RED, WHITE AND BLUE teeth

But as a percentage of our GNP, US citizens give less than other developed nations.

I make a measly 40,000 a year. I give 8,000 of which to charity. Beat that.
