You don't know wtf I'm doing. And who tf is we? lol.

[Everose]

I can't the response here. Oh well it's just life or death

You are right. It is life and death. People are dying, our government is doing everything within their power to reach every last one of them. Get a friggin clue here.

Nope they are dragging their feet to say the least.

Well let me ask you this: what are you doing to help out? Have you donated any money, clothes food, blankets, and pillows? What exactly are you doing to help your fellow countrymen out, besides point fingers and criticize?

Ah so far i have donated $100USD to red cross , and hopefully $500.00 more.

For information: Source=USAF Flight Surgeon's Guide, Ch 22.

Since the ERDLator cannot remove dissolved solids, the source must be freshwater, that is, have less than 500 ppm dissolved salts.

AFAIK the water here is brackish at best, so the ERDLator is not likely to be of much use in this situation in any case.

What about you?

I find it difficult to believe that the US Government is not doing everything in it's power to alleviate the situation in which it's own citizens find themselves.

I am quite sure they have experts directing the operations and if there was a better way to get water, food, medicines etc into the relevant areas then they would be using them.

Unfortunately the very factors which are causing the problems also serve to hamper the efforts of those trying to provide assistance.

My thoughts go out to the victims of this tragedy and to those who are trying to help them. I am sure they are doing their absolute best, in very difficult circumstances.

So because your born on the same land mass as someone else you're expected to stop your life and offer them things that you have worked hard from. When if anything the scale of the damage could have been toned down massive ammounts if the Government had bothered to read a report given to them in 2001?

Donations are exacly that, a donation. You shouldn't expect people to make any kinda donations, it's like a waitress getting a tip, most seem to expect it now, just because they have the job. Yet someone working in a shop doesn't get a tip. Hundreds of people die each hour in Africa from the same things the people in the effected American areas are experiencing right now. However something tells me after you get sorted you won't be giving any money to them.

I don't know if that example will work, Americans tip differently than we Brits do (in my experience).
