Re: But...
said by ropeguru  :The U.S. will not help bring it to rural America... Politicians SUCK!!! We make a lot more than $50 a month. Perhaps those who want such things could push to do it themselves, without any government involvement. That's the only way things get done in this country anyway.
But, the fact that we are so generous to a former enemy is more irrefutable proof that the USA is indeed the greatest country in the world.

Who in the USA makes $50 a month? Do we have people dying in the streets because of starvation? Most "poor" in this country have it better than most people on this planet.
There are a lot of people who come to this country with barely the clothes on their backs and nothing in their pockets but they are able to work hard and be successful. Some people here don't want to be bothered with putting forth the effort to help themselves even though opportunities for success are abundant here. Why should those people be helped?

| If they are so poor that they are starving in the streets then why are we not helping feed them vs. giving them WiMax. First learn to feed your self and then get the perks of not having to struggle for food. So I guess they can afford PC's but can not afford to eat. I hate seeing tax money that I worked for get yanked away from me to do non life substaining projects in other countries. Im all for helping people survive but they do not need WiMax to be able to farm the land and raise cattle. |

One of my Mexican friends always says, "it's better to be poor in America than 'well off' in Mexico."

But, the fact that we are so generous to a former enemy is more irrefutable proof that the USA is indeed the greatest country in the world. "generous", what are you talking about? Devastating a country for 30 years (1954 - 1975) and causing the 2 million death toll are what you call generous? Invading a poor country that had no means or intention to affect the US economically nor geographically is not generous!
The Japaneese have only occupied Vietnam for a few months during the Wolrd War II and after the war, then they paid billions dollars to help rebuild Vietnam after the war.
Helping building some WI-Max or WiFi spots here and there in the country that the US killed million people and bringing the country back to the stone age are NOT generous at all!
I think you have to re-define the word "Generous" in your vocabulary or should I assume you did not pass the first or second grade at all. Or if you had college, I suggest you should re-take the history course. |

said by Mars4001 :Helping building some WI-Max or WiFi spots here and there in the country that the US killed million people and bringing the country back to the stone age are NOT generous at all! Then what is it?
