Your contribution to Japan ?????

It has already begun the onslaught of organization sending aid to Japan.

So I ask what you will be contributing (finically or material)?

I refuse to send money to any organization…. for aid.

With Haiti we see that the money has the potential to be wasted and the people never received any of the funding, support and re-building because of government corruption.

I will do what I did for Haiti: I will provide 2 pallets of bottled water, blankets and tools via our church. I purchase at Sam’s Club and our church loaded up and sent by some organization.

I will provide 2 pallets of bottle water, a pallet of rice and tools... No money.

I've sent my prayers and thoughts.

If the US wasn't already sending help, I'd probably do something. I pay taxes.

what do you think about helping the britians or them helping us? Thousands of Americans died fighting the Civil War, does that mean the north should only help the north and the south only help the south? The damage we did do Japan is far greater than what they did to us. Its been 65 years since WWII.

Would you feel differently if it were Spain, Mexico, England, the southern US, Germany, North Korea or Vietnam? (I'm sure I left somebody out.)

The "assholes" you're talking about are mostly dead, though. Most of the people being affected by this had nothing to do with that.

It would be like a Brit being mad at you for being American solely because his ancestor was killed by an American soldier during the Revolutionary War.

Not at all trying to be snide, as I recognize that war causes a lot of intense feeling toward people, but most of the Japanese people today were not the ones killing U. S. troops during World War II.

The war with Japan was over 65 years ago.

in situations like this i kind of have the same mentality as sleeper. i will however give if my church sends something, i just don't trust like i did before haiti.

iclfan2

Nothing. I'm pretty sure our own country still has problems.

THE4RINGZ

The same amount I have given to all other foreign disasters.

The next time I see a person speaking with a southern accent, I'm punching him or her right in their damned face! As a person born in the North, there's no way I'm letting any damn offspring of rebels pollute my air!!!

hey! im from ohio but i have a southern accent according to people in NE Ohio

mrtinkertrain

I have a fundamental problem with ever helping a nation that launched a sneak attack on us and tortured thousands of our POW's. You can say it was 65 years ago but those people who suffered under the japanese have to be remembered and accounted for by someone.

nada... i can barely afford my drinking habits right now.

Do you not understand the distinction between a nation and its people? Or would you prefer not to think about it because after doing so, you would realize that hating the citizens of a country for the acts of its government makes you look extremely stupid?
