Pakistani Earthquake

As to the quake, it is absolutely awful! As to the number of deaths, I believe many of them were needless. This quake hit a 3rd World area, places where buildings have no structural integration and where mud bricks are one of the choice building materials. Because of that buildings many miles from the epicenter crumbled to dust, buring the people within them. If that quake had hit the US, Japan, or other western country with the building standards they have the deaths would have been much fewer and the distruction much less. Conversely, if Katrina had hit a 3rd World Country there would have been 10 or 20 times the deaths and distruction. So, this is a case of poor people getting a double whammy - nature and man.

Yeah, being poor's a *****! :cry:
 
Sumfun, you enjoying your post numbers Mr 420? lol..

I feel bad for these people, I wish that I could personally hand them some money, same with every othe natural disaster incident, such as katrina, I just don't feel safe giving it to red cross even though they do a good job, I'd like to hand it to them personally.
 
Red Cross are liars - the money that was supposed to go to the 9/11 victims never all went to the victims, it went to war in iraq, an illegal war that i might add.

Think Red Cross is bad? The jewish group for Katrina was worst, for every dollar givin to the Jewish group for katrina, 50 cents of it went into their pockets.


Yeah, the Illegal war, not to mention now they are asking for donation to build it. How unfair is that?

You better be prepared to back your statements by some evidence.

It might be a nostalgic imagination on my part, but I think Red Cross is one of few remaining organizations that do real hard work - be it here in North America or elsewhere.
 
Yes yes yes

We all know this war is bullshit; even in a 'No poltics' forum I'd like to hear one person come out and say it is not.....

But even I am curious about YAS's statement? Where did you get this idea from?
 
The Red Cross, under the Liberty Fund, collected $564 million in donations after 9/11. Months after the event, the Red Cross had distributed only $154 million. The Red Cross' explanation for keeping the majority of the money was that it would be used to help 'fight the war on terror'. To the victims, this meant that the money was going towards bombing broken backed third world countries like Afghanistan and setting up surveillance cameras and expanding the police state in US cities, and not towards helping them rebuild their lives.

Then Red Cross President Dr. Bernadine Healy arrogantly responded when questioned about the withholding of funds by stating, "The Liberty Fund is a war fund. It has evolved into a war fund."

Despite the family members of victims of 9/11 complaining bitterly to a House Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight panel, the issue seemed to be brushed under the carpet and the mud didn't stick.

The Red Cross' scandalous activities reach back far before 9/11.

After the devastating San Francisco earthquake in 1989, the Red Cross passed on only $10 million of the $50 million that had been raised, and banked the rest.

Similar donations after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the Red River flooding in 1997 were also greedily withheld.

Smaller charities that were involved with the 2004 Tsunami relief project went public to say that large charities like Red Cross and United Way were engaged in secret backroom negotiations with each other that meant a large portion of the donation money was purposefully restricted from reaching the most needy areas affected by the disaster.

The history is clear, the Red Cross and other large so-called charities are in actual fact front group collection agencies for the military industrial complex.

Dude, please tell me what you are on about - it's been bugging me for a week. Could someone unravel this mystery? It better not be racist.
