wanna see united states coverage,, heres the best ive found,,16 hours a day of live coverage uninterupted.. http://www.wwltv.com/ just click on the live coverage link at the top of the page.
Yeah, Thank God i dont live there, too. I was going by what i saw and heard on a BBC news item...i did not exaggerate what i saw, i did not lie about what i heard. As for me "blaming everyone in america", all i did in my original post was urge people to consider the competency of your president, which needed to be done. Also, does the fact that i dont live in a place mean i cannot have an opinion about it, its policies, its government's actions? Perhaps someone should have told this to Bush, Blair and the war supporters, who felt they needed to "save" and "liberate" Iraq. -Maxi.Xx
Which most THINKING Americans do, including me. I detest the man, his policies and his decisions and his attitude. MOST Americans do not support the stupid war in Iraq, many beleive Bush got into office illegally, and he was PLACED there (and I am FAR from a conspiracy theorist) Most would be happy to see him go. I am sorry if I was hard on you, but I remember after 9/11, the same attitudes from some Europeans, the "you deserved it" thing, along with a LOT of innaccurate data. There were no Americans I know blaming England when the Terrorists struck there last month. (And I also heard, from many Europeans, after 9/11, many of whom seem to think ALL Americans think alike, "It would NEVER happen here. We've done nothing to make those people hate us.") Think about the fact taht most Americans have no more control over Dubya than you Brits do over Blair. SOrry if I was rough on you. The last thing we need is to be kicked when we are down. I can assure you, NO mamas trying to feed their children will be shot by the National Guard. The only risk to these poor womyn is the men of their own parishes.
Very strong words from you. I am glad not being an American because you are making the world laughing in this occasion. 5 days to bring aid to NO. Thats sucks, maybe just because the people there are poor and black .......... forgot sorry, no oil neither .
ya really should see whats goin on there brother,, i been watchin live feeds every chance i get for 4 days now,, color has nuthin to do with the mess,, fuckin retards in the beaurocracy,, FUCKIN UP!! is what it has to do with,,.. They all dropped the ball,, the state an federal emergency management folks that is.. this whole blame game is futile now anyway.. Man some folks..
ya know its fucked up,, all the folks that are experienced with disasters are scatterred all over the world helpin other countries,, an blessins to them,,its just a damn shame that it takes a few days to get them back here to america,.. id like to think those countries that they left wouldnt blame us for bailing on them..
Maggie Sugar, Take a deep breath and try to relax Hun. First off them two fellers ain't even Europeans, they's Redcoats! They're from that little island we've fought with and beaten more times than any other, at least three wars come to mind off hand. So Hun just you pay them boys no nevermind. *weg*
............ mind your own business mate, i am Italian and from Napoli, where camorra rules, worse than mafia.
Two points.... 1. If'n them boys was Europeans they'd be usin' Euro's not Pounds. 2. Not only have we beaten their asses in at least three wars, we've saved their asses in two. Maybe they should learn to keep a civil tongue in their heads....
get better informations mate. travel a bit more not just in front of a pc. In UK the currency is £ (pound) and in European countries € (euro). Second, if granfather (Cristoforo Colombo, which was Italian) didn't F*** your gran gran, you were still a floting piss of ......... Remember before you write "we beaten their ...", what did you beat? Wake up mate
You can't have a legitimate opinion, if your sources of information are WRONG!!!! Laughing at Americans when they are hurt? Nice. Really nice. Bush may SUCK (I have NO argument with that) but most Americans don't LAUGH at others, whether in Sumatra, England, or anywhere else when they are in their hour of need. They help. Pissing and whining and taking GLEE in the misery of others.....what are YOU doing to help? Or are you laughing to hard to even care. Senseless and inhumane, that is. Yeah, I'm "making the world laughing." Jeez.
"them guys" are using pounds, because they live in Great Britain...Now i ask you this...if Britain isnt in the continent of Europe...then which continent IS it in? No idea what the rest of your post meant. -Maxi.
P.s- I find it hillarious when people write "WE beat them in the war" or, "WE kicked their asses in 1816"...or whatever. Who the hell is WE!? 99%of the people who spew this crap werent even living when this stuff happened. Its like saying which country youre born in decides which little club or tribe youre a part of....and people in other countries are from different clubs, and so theyre the enemy. Absolutely ridiculous. What about people who move from country to country throughout their lives, as i plan to do? Which little tribe do they belong to? Which "WE" are they? The whole things laughably pathetic. Open up your shamefully isolated mind -An amused yet saddened Maxi.
Not all countries are on continents. Haven't you ever heard of islands? Like maybe the British Isles..... I just went back and double checked and just as I remembered it was you that started with the nationalistic generalizations in your early posts in this thread. If you don't like mud don't start slinging it.
"britain is the largest island in Europe" ....i just found this quote on a site designed for small children. It appears even they are supposed to be able to grasp this concept. Also, i have never once in my life referred to British people as "we" the way you described, i assume, American people. As i have never used this pronoun in this manner myself i feel i have the right to criticise those who do. -Maxi.
