[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;28553211]I was talking to a friend in Chile once, and she was telling me how there was an earthquake going on right then. That motherfucker didn't even get out of her chair. Fucking rad.[/QUOTE]
But was the magnitude of the earthquake 9.1?
Reading through the log that I found the Afghan donation info on, does anyone else think that it's utterly ridiculous that the U.S. refused aid from CUBA?
I mean, CUBA! They offered to give us money, support, food, clothing, tents, EVERYTHING! And the Bush Administration turned it down!
What the fuck!

Not sure that's entirely accurate.

[QUOTE=toaster468;28553326]We could tell, you obviously have some major problem with America.[/QUOTE]
Ya, I have a problem with America because I think they've had enough problems of their own over the past decade. :rolleyes:
It's just that it has become cool to hate on America the past 30 years.
For some reaons like inbreeds/hicks/yeehawwar attitude, but the people hating on them are usually dumb as a brick themselves
[I]"The friendship and alliance between our two nations is unshakeable, and only strengthens our resolve to stand with the people of Japan as they overcome this tragedy."[/I]
That just sounds like a terrible choice of words...

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;28552173]Well surely its Americas job to help them recover anyway as Japan doesnt have a proper army to hand out supplies?[/QUOTE]
The whole point of the JSDF is for the defense of land and civil emergencies.

[quote] Japan
The Japanese Foreign Ministry said that it would provide $200,000 to the American Red Cross to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina. Japan also identified needs in affected regions via the U.S. government and provided up to $300,000 in emergency supplies such as tents, blankets and power generators if they receive requests from the U.S. for such assistance. One Japanese individual, Takashi Endo, donated USD 1 million from his personal funds to Katrina relief efforts.[13][/quote]
The US will help a bro out for sure.

Everyone keeps saying that but if you have been living under a fucking rock, it is safe to assume you can understand why people do it.
I'm being sent there through the IDF as soon as there's an official notice about safety from radiation.

Israel Defense Forces?
For some reason, I think it's futile. I can't imagine Japan accepting aid from any country except the ones they've requested. Although they accepted the 2 Israeli aid agencies that sent aid.

I'm not sure entiraly what organization sends me there but I know I'll be there for a week or two to provide help before I'm officialy drafted.
[QUOTE=Last or First;28547895]"First he bows down to Islamic terrorists, now he's helping out Nazis!? How can you doubt that he's out to destroy America now!" :foxnews:
Okay, that may be a bit too exaggerative.
More likely:
"Has he forgotten about Pearl Harbor!?"
"Why the hell should we help them? Let them deal with it!"[/QUOTE]
How is Japan related to Nazis?
