neo33 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 16 Americans confirmed dead. 70 unaccounted for. 2000 evacuated. Anyone affected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Not directly, but Canada's head of state, Governor-General Michaelle Jean, was nearly in tears as she was speaking about the quake, as she is from Haiti and has relatives and friends there. It was sad to see. Obviously not as sad as seeing what happened in Haiti, of course, but I did feel sorry for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 I guess no one here cares but here goes: Over 50,000 killed. One young man yelled at reporters in English: "Too many people are dying. We need international help ... no emergency, no food, no phone, no water, no nothing." An estimated of 2 millions people are homeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winchester21 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I care- horrible situation- particulary the the orphaned kids But I am getting a little ticked off hearing the other countries blame America for not getting suppplies delivered fast enough. We bail everybody out and get very little thanks or credit Wonder what the Castros or Hugo Chavez have done to help them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Loves Khorns Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Just to play devil's advocate here. I am certainly not a Castro fan by any means... But, Cuba essentially has for years supplied almost all of the doctors in Haiti. They have a contract to do this. There are something like 500 doctors I believe I read in Haiti. And almost all are from Cuba. Now, they are paid to be there. Can't be much I would imagine. And I should imagine that Cuban doctors in Cuba don't make much either. Cuba was one of the first to send more doctors over there right after the quake hit. I found that very interesting. Like I said, I am not a sympathizer of the communist government in Cuba by any means. But, I did find it interesting. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Wonder what the Castros or Hugo Chavez have done to help them? Take a look at what our buddy Hugo Chavez "thinks" the cause of the quake was and who's to blame. Oh yeah, Katrina was intentionally caused by America also. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/01/21/chavez_us_weapon_test_caused_haiti_earthquake.html Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am getting a little ticked off hearing the other countries blame America for not getting suppplies delivered fast enough. We bail everybody out and get very little thanks or credit At one point in time this was a true statement but not anymore. There are no Superpowers anymore. I, here in Germany, have not heard one bad report about America in the Haiti affair. The reports that we are getting are more to the effect that it is hard for anyone to help in these troubled times. Just for the record we in Germany are not getting any bad "American only" vibes from the press, just bad vibes from all countrys including Germany that the reactions have been less than acceptable to a catastrophy in this mass. Sorry but I had to get this off my chest. The world does not revolve around what America does or does not do, irrigardless of how I love the country. Please stop bieng led by the press. I will be quiet now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo33 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Those who burned our flag in the streets should be lined up facing the firing squad. Freedom of the press, speech, whatever... can only go so far! We get something for all this.... THEY BURN OUR FLAG IN THE STREETS why doesn't someone care about that??? The media always screwed us up. It is a same... I heard up to 200,000 dead. On the networks I keep seeing the same scenes... the same person washing their hands with bottled water.
