yes, I was unsure of what the article was referring to and was hoping for clarification from the OP.

also, Lira, why did you post a video of gas prices?

palm, you're stupid.

Originally posted by srussell0018 On a serious and more literate note, Katrina almost completely decimated a city of over a million people. I'm not entirely sure about the exact numbers, but the Tsunami in Japan cause the evacuation of not even half that total. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/data...-donations#data If you look at that site, you'll see that the US donated 4 times as much money to Haiti as the next highest country's donations. Whether it came from individual citizens or not, calling Americans assholes when their country donated 4 times as much money as the next is kind of misguided don't you think?

How is $218,669,974 "four times as much" as $169,854,764 (Canada's total)? Secondly, the US has a population of 307 million people, as opposed to Canada's 34 million. If Americans had donated at the same rate as the Canadians, they would have pledged around $1,500,000,000.
