US Media is PISSING ME OFF

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Actually Erich, when you were saying you wonder what the rest of the world will do to help out the US right now. You can blame the government that they are not going to help. 36 nations including Russia, Germany, France just to name a few offered to help and were turned down. At a German Airbase near Roth in the vicinity were I live there Were German cargo aircraft loaded with supplies and rescue equipment and rescue teams. There is a special team that specializes in disastors like this ready to go but the US government said no. They have been ready to go since the Hurricane hit. 36 nations offered help. Russia was the first and told no. I think at some point you have to swallow your pride and accept the help. Hell even Venezuala offered help.

As for the gas prices mine went up again today to about 60 Euro Cents a Liter.

F**king petrol prices! We're being slugged $1.30 a litre at the moment, and they reckon it's still going to rise!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I get my gas through the military so I only pay about 60 cents a liter. It is expected to rise a whole lot though.

 

[lesofprimus]

Atleast u guys can GET gas.... Most people here sit on a 5 hour line for gas, and by the time they get to the pump, they are all out... My pal Lloyd sat for 8 hours to get $20.00 dollars worth.....

There are people here who would pay $8.00 a gallon if givin the chance.... Alot of people lost their cars and have no way of getting to the pumps to get gas for their generators..........

Its fuck in hell down here fellas......

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Germany released 30 million barrels from there reserves to help out over there, no word though weather it has been accepted yet.

 

[Wildcat]

Your right of course Les, hear we are complaining about the price of fuel and you guys are struggling to make it through to the next day. My apologies mate.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yes I appologize also.

 

[plan_D]

I've heard that the U.S turned down help from the Royal Navy. What is up with the U.S government?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I agree, they turned down help from just about everyone. It was just on the news though that the US Government has now excepted help from Kuwait, and the NATO countries (by saying NATO I presume most likely England and Germany). Cuba is the latest that offer to send help. Have not heard if there offer was accepted.

 

[plan_D]

It's about time. I can understand the U.S refusing help from some of the less well liked nations because they'll be doing it just to mock the U.S but from Great Britain - c'mon, we're America's biggest ally!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I think they have just come around. England, German, and even France have stuff on the way now.

 

[lesofprimus]

F*ck my government.......... SEND IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Erich]

ah the good ol I don't need anyone spirit.............Pfffffffffftttttt ~~~~~~~~ !! what crock. the word out is send as much medical kits and water and a bizzilion food stuffs as of late last night.

Are you holding up ok Les with your food/water rations ?

E ~

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah like I said I saw the Cargo planes ready for days near where I live but they finally just started leaving yesterday.

 

[lesofprimus]

Yea erich, we are ok with our supplies.... I had the foresight to load up on gear to make it 2 weeks, so we're good to go now, what with all the aid that has come into town...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Have supplies been reaching your town or is it as bad as all the other places.

 

[elmilitaro]

I believe the US is to proud of itself to accept help from other nations, but its not like proudness is going to help out the people with their neccesities.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

You might be right.

The US has accepted help now though from Germany, Mexico, England, Italy, Kuwait.... just to name a few. I think it was a bit to late though.

I can't argue with you.
