What was incorrect? I stated that we're giving all this charity to Haiti after the fact, when it would have been better to have contributed before, when it would have helped. Are you saying that this assertion is incorrect? I'm not saying we didn't give them foreign aid, I'm not saying that we should increase foreign aid - I'm saying that it would have been better if we had contributed to charities that help Haiti before the earthquake. Get it?

That is a completely ridiculous notion.

Do y'all ever get tired of your "strength in numbers" assiness? Stand alone for once, I bet you don't have nearly as much to say, nor will you be nearly so puffed up and stupid looking. Yeah, that'll happen...not a spine between ya.

However, I believe Spexx should have used the phrase "because of" instead.

the irony, dar, was his use of the incorrect spelling whilst calling someone else stupid.

You implied and argued that we didn't and you were wrong.
Then you called me a moron for proving you wrong.

No amount of aid would have stopped the earthquake, and I doubt like hell they would have changed the way they built their buildings. Even in retrospect, your theory doesn't hold up.:headshake

I've been alone in my opinions since I started posting here. There are however, many instances where others have jumped on the bandwagon and far more times its been against me rather than in support of my positions.

Shawnee123 01-19-2010 10:57 AM
SHORE! Yep!

Yeah, I don't get it either. :headshake

What are you doing shawnee?

Shawnee123 01-19-2010 11:03 AM
Trying to figure out why "due to" was incorrect. :confused:

jinx 01-19-2010 11:03 AM
Spexx edited his post obviously.

Shawnee123 01-19-2010 11:05 AM
Oh, I see. Just what merc did with rediculous.

But it's just an old mod trick...only with less window of opportunity.

Aww, don't be ashamed and change your posts for misspellings. Only do so if you regret name-calling and want to hide the proof.

In order to have a drastic effect on the amount of deaths due to building infrastructure, the amount of money spent would be MUCH MUCH greater. Rebar is expensive and ineffective against 7.0 earthquakes and to make an effective structure against 7.0 earthquakes, the design is much much more expensive. This would also probably prove to be ineffective due to corruption and low code standards. And that is with the assumption that we only helped Haiti and not the numerous other 3rd world countries that have a probably of natural disasters
