aide to myanmar

[Boondock]

The U.S. military C-130 cargo plane, packed with 14 tons of supplies, flew out of the Thai air force base of Utapao and landed in Yangon, capping prolonged negotiations to persuade Myanmar's military government to accept U.S. help

you know what man, fuck those people...seriously. 14 tons of aide probably cost a few mill easy. i would like to see all that aide sent to people in uhhhh, i unnno, skid row....
we got hospitals dumping people in the row cause they don't have insurance and then the gov just forgets about them but let some fuckers from another country get hit by a cyclone and the aide is on the way.

i think it is bullshit. you should take care of your own backyard before you take care of someone elses...that is just my opinion....

i don't wish shit on people and it would have been nice had myanmar not been hit but they were. they need to figgit out

Not only that -- Myanmar doesn't want our help!!! How fucking arrogant to go over there and FORCE them to take our stuff?

that just makes me really angry you know? We got people here who seriously need, apply for help at the social services agencies, and are being treated like medical care, food and shelter are better than they deserve.

Coz they don't want the strings attached. Aid ain't free. If you think that, you're naive and need to read more.
