Don't know how to break the news to you, but most of the western world's
students score higher than the US's in the standardized math tests. Won't
even mention the eastern world :) Old news. Perhaps Mooron is an exception,
can't say, didn't read the originals.

I don't give a friggin' crap about what happened... another million could
have died and I wouldn't shed a tear nor concern myself about it. I have no
intention of donating any money.

BTW.... it was an American that started the bragging.

What's shameful is that you're keeping score like it's some damn

Jackie Chan's personal contribution to help earthquake/tsunami victims:

I weep for your ignorance. You ranted on about 12 cents even though you
quoted the $350 mil figure. And now you're referencing a blog that's
week old info. Why is this relevant to anything?

Did you say MATH SKILLS?
************************************************** ******************************


What's your point? I hope its none, because this thread is pointless.



Jeff Morris says:
Quite so - however half of the Australian money is in the form of loans.
And since it was not offered within 10 minutes of the event, does it
really count?



Even if half of what Australia gave is discounted as being loans, the OTHER half
still far exceeds the U.S. contribution. Meanwhile, much of the US figure is
also in the form of loans.

Jeff Morris January 6th 05 12:16 AM

Earth to Mooron - the amount has been increased - even you quoted the
higher number. Are you so drunk as to forget that increasing the total
by a factor of 10 increasing the "per capita" amount? Are you so stupid
that you don't realize that in a quickly evolving situation a single
snapshot is meaningless?
