the floods in pakistan have affected 17 million people....

[stokemaveric]

the uk have donated 29 million pounds,that equates to more than a million pounds per affected person....isnt that more than enough?????

[MarkRae]

£29 million divided by 17 million people works out to about £1.70 per person...

[ChuckFickens]

Lend us a quid please stoke!

[Dris]

So each person affected have or potentially will have over a £1m???

[Dris]

Tell ya there are some hard hearted deluded people -not just on here. Its a case of its not in my back yard and espoecially if they are P akis.
Im sickened with the apathy the western world have shown towards those fellow human beings who are in dire need.Its a catastrophe of immense magnitude yet there was more coverage of their bleeding cricket team.
Think its sinking in now tho.(absolutely NO pun intended)

[Answerprancer]

Yes Dris, if - as stokemaveric suggests - only 29 people have been affected !

I have had to come pout of threads even one of my own as the political activists started on the band wagon.
However I dont see what they see as they are not seeing innocents with flies over their faces and elderly people who are going to starve to death if cholera doesnt get to them first -they are racists and bigots and I still stand by and say if it was a western country not only would aid have been sent and distrubuted by armed forces-specialised Disaster Teams would have been deployed.
I feel very very sad that some people could be so bigoted in the face of human suffering..

[Dris]

OK Noth -lets watch them fester and die.
In fact lets have a night in with popcorn and booze and have a phone in to say which child looks like they are gonna die first.
Can even while away the time by freeze framing and having a competition to see who can guess how many flies are on a toddlers face -within 10 secs or you're out -lol.
A kinda sweepie.

[ttfn]

I would hope that it was only 10% that was creamed off the donations - yeah right. Whatever the % is though I will still give knowing that any amount, no matter how small, that goes where it is intended will help the poor people who suffer so much. I don't think I could live with myself if I could ignore them and not let it bother me.

[Dris]

So it all comes down to sqabbling about money -how pathetic,
Well hope all the bigots sleep easy tonight snug in the knowledge if ever we were hit by such a natural catastrophe we would be alright jack eh???
Meanwhile -just for a second before you drift off just give a passing thought to the people who cant sleep and are worrying if their loved ones will see the night out lying in their fellow countrymans sewage.

[dabees]

I understand what you're saying Noth3, I can't wait for another potato famine to hit those terrorist Micks.......
