    'President Bush has thus far rejected Blair's call to double aid to Africa, as well as the benchmark set by the OECD and signatories to the Monterrey Consensus, which called on developed countries to devote 0.7% of their gross national income to overseas development assistance by 2015....


    ...The Bush Administration should join the UK, France, Italy and Germany and twelve other developed nations and commit to devote up to 0.7% of U.S. gross national income to overseas development assistance by 2015.'

    Who says you're the most blessed nation on Earth?
    I can think of a ton of places on this Earth where I'd rather live.
    If I had a choice of living in the U.S or Canada, I'd choose Canada.
    If I had a choice of living in the U.S or Tahiti, I'd choose Tahiti.
    If I had a choice of living in the U.S or France, I'd choose France.
    I could go on all day.

    And I don't hate America, it's just not all it's made out to be.

    Tahiti doesn't use up a quarter of the worlds resources, and cause 25% of the worlds pollution.

    http://atlas.aaas.org/index.php?part=2

    The US uses roughly one-fourth of all energy resources (round up to 100 QBTU), with roughly 5% of the world population (300 mil out of 6 bil). To bring the rest of the world to this level of energy consumption you would need 95/5* 100 = 1900 QBTU yearly, roughly four times the present production.

    I.e, It would take 4 more Earths for the rest of the world to have a standard of living equivalent to the USA.

    The U.S is also responsible for 25% of the worlds pollution.

    Therefore, you owe the rest of the world a sizable debt.

    I don't owe you anything. You have no claim on me. That is the guilt trip you attempt to lay on us. Find some other sucker.

    You're polluting my world and plundering it's natural resources. You owe the world a big debt. It's all about give and take.
    Not that Britain is innocent of course. But relatively speaking, the U.S has a lot to answer for.

    Not me personally. I thought we were talking about nations. I personally owe you (byrnzie) nothing, and this nation owes you (the world) nothing. If you (the world or byrnzie) disagree, you (the world or byrnzie) can try to back up your claim with action. You (the world or byrnzie) will find that to be a losing proposition.

    Now that doesn't mean we can't be good world citizens, clean up some of our bad habits, help who we choose to help. But nobody has claim on us.

    I think all industrialized nations owe the world - the third world particularly - a debt.

    I like this attitude. Your country is having enough trouble securing ONE country that barely had an army, you think it can take on the whole world? If such a thing happens be sure that everyone loses.

    i don't want to speak for jeffbr - but here i go anyway.

    i think he's talking about an attack on us by an army (not some pussies in some airplanes) a real army - we would be forced to grind their asses to dust.

    on the other hand if byrnzie himself want to come here and demand money from us, well, that would just be funny!
