We as Holland donate already 27 million!!!
A country as small as Holland (16.000.000) compaired to the giant USA (280.000.000)
Only busy with themselves!!!
Dumb, dumber..... :whip: |
Is this really a contest for who donates more money???? I think we should all RESPECT and acknowledge the fact that USA is giving at least a dollar towards the aid, and we should not be so critical of them!!! Thats like slapping US in the face for donating 30 million in aid money! How disrespectfull! |

| Interesting indeed. If we learned how they do this, many lives could be saved (pretty much the same way Japanese tourists - in Phuket, I guess - told people a tsunami was coming once the water tide changed... but people didn't believe them that much). |

Its is now being said that orphaned tourists (2-16 year olds) are being kidnapped by gangs to be sold on the child sex market! :mad:
First they survive a tsunami and earthquake, the they loose they're parents, then they are kidnapped.... disgusting. |

| There's only one thing I dont really understand about this terrible disaster. It says that the waves were between 20 and 32 feet in height. How much is that in meters? :disbelief |

32 feet is about 3 metres. But as Plastick says some were higher than that, though I don't know the figures.
I just heard about the kids that are being kidnapped and this is absolutely disgusting. I have heard of some bad things in my lifetime but this is one of the saddest things I have heard of. :( |

32 feet = 9.7536 metres to be exactly
(1 foot = 0.3048 m) |
