Now I am sure the people affected appreciate the $66 million given by your government more so than any per capita figures thrown around.
So what does this all mean. Uhm, I guess there are governments and people around the world willing to help people in need.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but we have seen figures thrown around that can be used by both sides of a debate(discussion).
Hey Hey,

Well if we want to keep this up, let's look at the totlal aid package per country..

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/dis_tsu_tot_aid_pac
1. Germany $1,071,000,000
2. United States $1,003,000,000
3. Australia $963,370,000
4. Canada $500,450,000
5. Japan $500,000,000
Yeah... you doubled our numbers... but you have 10x our numbers.... That just seems kinda sad to me... You should have 10x the donations.... You're always going to exceed our number because you have more people... but since people like to discuss the generosity of the American citiizen.... you just aren't quite as generous as the average Canadian citizen.

Peace,
