I never argued intent, I stated fact, the American people gave more money than any other country's people. It's the economy... Deal with it.Bubbalo wrote:
But he is not more generous, merely more able. And if you want to argue effect, then you throw intent arguments out the window, meaning that many of your actions are wrong.

Sure, but to say that makes you more generous is wrong.

First and foremost, the Americans did not invent the internet. The British did. A noble man called Tim Berners-LEE. See for yourself.redhawk454 wrote:

Is it me or are you a moron?? The whole point the percentage is based on your population, England with a much smaller population than America donates about the same amount as America, thus the money we donate per person is more than America. It has nothing to do with how successful a country is.|AIA| DAS wrote:
Since when does a percentage mean fuckall? So if Americans are successful, that is there fault, what about non American citizens living in America, i.e. resident aliens. Do you think money given by us falls under our homeland's flag? No, it doesn't. If you don't like it get yourself a booming economy. I've lived all over this planet and the USA is the greatest country on the planet, for freedoms and liberties, and capitalism. I'm even considering dual citizenship.Vilham wrote:
did you read that link on the first page, americans donate pretty much the least % wise of their money to other countries and that is what matters. How much of your money you are willing to give to others, that percentage not actually money.|AIA| DAS wrote:
O'RLY?
This is what you said...."We donated more than you"
Since when is it what 'your country' of residence does is the only thing that matters? The American people are the most generous people on the planet. Find evidence to dispute that M8! G'Day...

The Internet is currently run by a non-governmental organization called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), established by the United States in 1998 to take over activities that had been performed for 30 years by professor Jon Postel in California.Bubbalo wrote:
