I think if Americans really want to know why they are despised they need to start asking people outside of America to get a more accurate account. Im not going to tell you in here, as Ive discovered some of you don't like to hear what I have to say.
Regarding international Aid, Id like to propose a question -
On one side of the table we have a man who earns $400 a week income and he donates $100 dollars of it to charity each week.
On the other side, we have a man who earns $4000 a week income and he donates $1000 of it to charity.
Who is giving more?
Obviously, if we want to look at the actual figures, subject #2 donates more right? - Well, obviously..
But in all reality, when relatively speaking, the amount that subject #1 donates is far greater.
It's like a pop star, who earns millions each year donating $5k to some charity and recieving praise for it, but when a single mother donates $50 to a charity (a far greater sacrifice on a single mothers income) it is considered less simply because of its monetary value.

^^ive heard that "who gives more" question asked a million times, and I must say, having read your logic and opinion on the subject, that I disagree.
No disrespect intended, but I think that the person who makes $4000 a week gave more, simply because the more money one makes, the harder it is for them to part with this money. Honestly, I don't think I can really expand more on this. That's just my opinion.
But on a side note, much respect to b-squared for making this thread, and to bounce, opey, and everyone else who is participating in this discussion. |
