Marky GTSt - How much money do you think Burma has in the first place compared to us? Hardly a fair comparison.

NBM33 - I agree that certain aspects of this country are going to shit - but are you comparing having your whole town destroyed, having no food, electricity or fresh water with what we have here??

Aren't we all the lucky ones born into this country where we have everything and can complain when a minute fraction of it is sent to those who don't. Well done guys.
No what I'm saying is there is plenty of suffering going on in this country. Homeless people on the streets of most cities in the UK. They all have to really on charities because they get very little in the way of government hand outs. How about a little help for our own less fortunate? I am not suggesting that knowone sends them aid. I thought the UN was set up for situations like the one in burma where every country supplies help.?
