Yes, I agree. And this is one AMERICAN that digs into their pant pockets or opens up the purse strings whenever there is a diaster and our country asks for contributions.

 Yes, I do. If we claim to be a Christian country (which some people don't), then we should be reaching out to those who need help.

 Yes, I do. We try to help in Africa.

 You hear it on the news following every disaster, America contributes over 40% of the food in the World Food Bank. We send not only food and money, but our own people to help out.

 Indeed America is very charitable although we are picky in who and what were charitable for... Everyone is different..

 Yes, I do believe. We open up our pocket books and hearts to many disasters, especially abroad. Every little bit helps and there is so much more that can be done to help others in need, especially from those that have and spend to the excess of having more than they need on wants, not necessities.

 So true, even when America is in debt we give to other countries. ( Not saying its a bad thing).

 True indeed! Every time there is a natural disaster in
another country we are
there to help. Myanmar is
the most recent example.
We tried to help but they wouldn't let us. But we still
insisted. America is
incredibly benevolent. We
help all those in need!

 I think Americans give more than anyother country. We have more and I think the epople here are more caring than other countries. I give and feel good about it when I do.

 America is, without doubt, the most charitable country in the world. When disaster strikes somewhere in the world, we are nearly always there first with the most to help out. Even in nations which hate our guts, like Iran during their earthquakes, or Myanmar with the cyclone damage. America is the only country with a long history of wars in which, even when we are attacked first, we defeat the enemy, rebuild their country better than it was before, then give it all back to them. NOBODY else ever did that.

But when America has fires raging in it's forests, hundreds if not thousands of homes threatened.. Who even OFFERS to help us? Or Hurricane Katrina? Or Mississippi River flooding? Granted, we do not NEED their help.. But it would be nice if sometime it were actually OFFERED.

America is beloved by the rest of the world when they want our money or blood... Then they just want us to go away and let them divide the spoils.
