WHY DONT YOU HELP OUT AUSTRALIANS FOR ONCE? FUCK AFRICA AND ASIA, WHY DO YOU ONLY HELP THESE PLACES? YOU ALL HATE YOUR OWN RACE, YOU'RE A BUNCH OF TRAITORS AND "FEEL GOOD" HYPOCRITES. WORLD VISION SUCKS.

voluntary donations should never be insulted, forced expropriation should never be allowed.

you are just trashing around cuz you dont wanna give your money. this is a humanitarian crisis even though the political factors compounded the problem. i hope that you wont be one of those people who has to live on the streets with no drinking water. the good thing is that the US govt or others are not like you.

tax is never a popular issue.

but burma is DESPARATE for democracy now more than ever. people want to make decisions and be in control of their own lives in their own countries. they are not doing it cos they want the US govt or UN or any other government to give them ur tax money in form of aid. they doing it cos they want freedom,justice --> a good life like you. they just want ur support cos money wont solve this country's problem, only political reforms.

Ne Win have sided with USSR so that burma for some time became a socialist state.but what can people do against guns? they tried demostrating against it and got killed.

i think that ur problem is that u r not happy that u have to pay tax. no matter how ur tax money is used by ur government, u still wont like it cos u just dont want them taking away ur money. u r not alone in this.

if u look at southeast asia nations around 1950s and 1960s, they were newly independent, not sure which way to go with the cold war. some nations like singapore, thailand has chosen the right path unlike burma, cambodia and laos. burma was fully democratic nations for 2 years before the democratically elected president was overthrown by Ne Win.

i m a burmese citizen. i know that the govt is shit and the roads, the cities might not be like tokyo or paris. but calling us communist is just a slap in the face. i am all for democracy and many others. that's why thousands of people would march in the streets knowing that they might most likely get killed or arrested and tortured.but in the name of democracy, they did anyway.

[pandora394]

if u dont want to give, then dont.

dont say things that are incorrect cos u know that these natural disasters are real.

we are not millionaires to be supporting every cause but that doesn't mean we cannot sympathize with those victims. Money is not the only help we can give.

shame on you, starcatcher. your way of thinking is too ancient.
