So, what you're saying is that we shouldn't even try. That's what Scotti
Potti and Joe said.

Jon,

Tell us just how we, in the United States could have gotten , "A glass
of water" to those victims in less than three days. Explain to us that
help from the rest of those countries that weren't affected by the
"Wave" There were a lot of people not affected that lived away from the
coast. They were the early response people and they coudn't get fresh
drinking water or food to them any faster, how in the hell could we, a
1/2 a world away?
Show some sense of reason!!!

It seems to me that they might be wise beyond their years!

Tell me again why Sri Lanka refused millions of dollars worth of help
immediately after the disaster? Couldn't be because they are Muslims
serving a god that no Christian has ever heard of?

LP

You mean this?

LP, while you are claiming that Europeans are ignorant (BTW of what?) you
are displaying a considerable degree of ignorance yourself.
Facts are readily available. Put 'religions, sri lanka' into google and
within seconds you will learn that it is not a Muslim country at all as you
seem to imagine.
To save you the trouble, in 1999 the split was:-
Buddhist 70%
Hindu 15%
Christian 8%
Muslim 7%

So get that chip off your shoulder...

I tried to tell you yesterday that you were wrong. I see that Edgar has now
given you proof that you were wrong.

Have you changed your opinion? ... or are you going to find another excuse
to ignore these unfortunate people.

BTW, the Buddists of Sri Lanka are the most tolerant people that I have ever
met. At the end of my holiday there, I asked someone why they were always
so pleasant. He told me that a Sri Lankan would never upset anyone if a
"small lie" could make them happy. It isn't a very Christian attitude, but
I have total respect for them.

The Sri Lankans are a lovely, friendly helpful people. If you had ever
visited the country, then you wouldn't be able to spout such nonsense.



Regards


Donal
