This angers me a bit...

I think we should dig ourselves out before we dig others out.

That's sort of a selfish look. If you are in a hypothetical line to go to the ER and you're in front of a guy who is having chest pains and you... broke your finger, would you let yourself go first?
 
Is this just one charity? If so, then its statistics do not represent any country as a whole.
 
Personally, I think that if someone was having chest pains, I would sit in the corner and deal with my broken finger for a while. Maybe I'd have someone come with to dry my tears.

That's just me, though. 😛
 
Ok, if there is ever a situation where there is a line outside the ER, and they are only accepting ONE PERSON!

I am sueing that hospitol....
 
The United Nations goal is to have 0.7% of every developed nations' GDP go to foreign aid. Kudos to the five countries who have reached their mark. Kudos as well to everyone ahead of Canada.
 
That's what I mean, we all met up at some point in time and AGREED to reach that, and we have no set date because we're trying to help every other person we can and not the general population.
 
I about died laughing at the "Which finger did I break?" remark.

I do find it almost... disrespectful that it seems in every natural disaster, the topic of how much the US donates per capita always comes up. There are a lot of people where $20 (or any other seemingly small amount) is a lot.

When I was younger, I used to donate $22 every month to Children International. I was laid-off, so that (along with cable, premium internet, going out, etc) was amongst the first things on the chopping block. I am fortunate that I am now in a better situation and have resumed charitable donations.

People (and nations) should be able to give what they are able to without being ridiculed about nonsensical statistics and rankings. Why should this be a competition?

Amen. We are trying to help the poor, not slam statistics in each others' faces.

I agree with the charts. United States are very greedy people and they will just spend their money just to keep United States a fun place. But they don't think about debts, health donations, etc.
