I don’t suppose there’s anybody who can’t feel sympathy for the people who are suffering in New Orelans – apart from some lunatic Jesus freaks who thinks it was all God’s idea because the city had become a modern day Soddom and Gomorrah.
Anyway, the news that Ireland has donated €1m in aid just strikes me as pointless and is just a cack-handed gesture from Bertie so he can stay buddies with the chimp whose troops he lets land at Shannon.
America is the wealthiest country in the world. They print their own money. I’m all for giving a hand to those who can’t help themselves but for the Government to pledge €1m of taxpayer’s money to a country with enough resources to take care of itself is obscene.
Give the money to somebody who really needs it. Give it to the homeless people on the streets of Dublin. Give it to help the people who, despite the Celtic Tiger, exist below the poverty line here in our country. It might stop the Sinn Fein vote sky-rocketing during the next general election. Give it to the people who have to fucking queue for so long then pay to cross the M50 motorway each day, it might just stop a Michael Douglas ‘Falling Down’ situation – and let me tell you the M50 is on my list.
Give it to Twenty Major and watch him buy drinks for everyone in the pub that night. Give it to anyone who needs it but America doesn’t need it. America has the money to buy a squillon fighter jets and tanks and missiles and submarines and aircraft carriers (although not enough to give proper armour to its soldiers in Iraq) and if it has enough money for that then it has enough money for something that is actually important.
Where are the philanthropists? Where’s Bill Gates’ contribution to this? Where is the help from the people who can really afford to help? Nowhere, as far as I can see. There’s aid coming from places and people who can’t afford to give it and that it’s got to a stage where that aid has been pledged is just wrong.
The American administration need to sort this out for themselves. Ireland, nor any other country with their own problems, shouldn’t be paying for their incompetence.
Stop the million now, Bertie, you shitebag, feckless cunt of a shop steward, or feel my fucking wrath.

It was a natural disaster. Yes, how bush & co is handling it is horribly awful and beyond understanding, but I think it’s very generous of other countries to offer help. For all the help we’ve offered to others for their disasters, it’s nice to see others do the same. Especially since we are so hated.
Any help we offer is so flippin tiny & insignificant that it’s pretty much meaningless. Let them know we feel for them and that we’re here to help but sending a few pennies and a few of troops over there is pointless, especially as they lack neither.
Why a million dollars? Several thousand pounds of potatos would be more helpful, unless they’re all still blighted.
OH FANTASTIC. STOP. TWENTY MAJOR HAS TURNED QUEER. STOP. GO TO HELL TWENTY MAJOR YOU PUSSY. STOP.
Actually it’s being handled better than any other disaster. Ever. It’s just that the area affected is roughly the size of England and is completely without infrastructure and the local government is completely wurfless.
That said, you’re right. We don’t need Ireland’s money. We’re the strongest country in the world and we already have more Irish in Boston than there are in Ireland.
Potatoes are nice though. I like potatoes. Shit. Never mind, they’re a New World crop also.
Send sheep.
It’ll all be good.
prarie biker, you’re dead wrong. it’s not being handled ‘better than any major disaster’. for fucksake that stupid prick Bush doesn’t know what to do if he can’t invade something. the whole thing is a balls up. Yes they’ve no infrastructure and it’s a big fuckin’ place, but if Bush can land troops in fucking Iraq in a day and a half, why can’t he run a few ships down to the Gulf of Mexico in under a week.
We should send you Americans things that will really help. Like The Corrs.
You can’t have our spuds.
Have you noticed that spuds don’t taste as good as they used to?
Give me the money, you miserable cunts and I’ll find out why.
A huge tornado destroys several states and suddenly you care about the poor in Ireland.
What were you drinking in Italy?
Ah come on. Give it to the yanks. They love money – you know we’d only end up drinking it anyway. We’d wake up tomorrow with a pounding head, vomit down our shirt, and probably a tatoo of the Proclaimation on our left cheek. And we’d be left with 5p less than the price of cheapest packet of fags out of the shop. Its better this way. Let it go.
Fuck, no, we don’t want the Corrs. Anything but the Corrs. Send us…decent Guinness.
New Orleans was a complete f up
according to Imus in the morning contributor (I forget who) it appears that old Rummy was in on the debacle something about jurisdiction of National gaurd being handed over to Fema or something like that and we all know how brilliant Field Marshall Rumsfeld is.
Bush is an idiot and those around him are like the tailors in the Emporers new Clothes story. dont blame Bush blame the rednecks and industrialists who voted for him.
Dont get me wrong, John Kerry is like a Ballyfermot TD representing the good folks of Delgany (except the other way round) Aggod guy but not the right guy…
Anyway blah blah look out for some great political commentary in the coming days as the good Senators come back from their Holliers.
Finally instead of sending 1 million Euro why not send all the Nigerians over.
Keep it up 20
I was going to say something about Ireland having to look after itself the next time some European fascists decide to impose their little regime upon the Emerald Isle.
Then I realized two things:
1. Eire was sympathetic to the Nazis back in the 1940s, and
2. You’ve joined the EU of your own accord, anyway.
Take yer piddling charity and stick it up yer welfare state arse. Even at today’s exchange rates, a million euros doesn’t even qualify as a rounding error to us.
Oh, and when the next Potato Famine strikes, fuck off to Spain or Portugal instead.
You’re not the only one who has a waspish tongue.
Kim du Cunt has a small dick and a big gun!
Not altogether unlike the rest of white South Africa.
Eire was sympathetic to the Nazis back in the 1940s
I don’t think so. Lots of Irish men died fighting for the British army in WWII.

Exactly, it’s like a drop in the ocean. Or overspilled lake if you will.

Excuse me, I’m a good catholic, so I am.
Twenty Major
Can I send you over a few cases of unfiltered cigarettes?
Bush is out-bertieing Bertie,he’s
holding a tribunal and chairing it
himself
We should send this money the same way as the US sends money to disaster areas. Put out a press release talking about how much we are giving, then never hand it over.
Send Dickhead Bono over. He’ll sort it lut. Where the streets have no ?????
what shite is King du Twat on about???? Another one of these sublimated “yer either with us or against us” shitehawks.
“Eire was pro Nazi”. Yeah right, that explains why 50,000 paddies signed up (note: not drafted)with the allies. Equally, the bulk of american aircrew were repatriated to the North while the germans were kept in the Curragh. The placques on hotel walls commemorating the crews of “It’s a Bird” and “Travelling Trollop” speak for themselves.
Not to mention the fact that the Irish Diplomatic Corps on mainland Europe provided significant covert assistance to the OAS throughout the war. However Ambassador Grey being virulently anti-paddie ensured not a screed of Marshall aid went our way in thanks….
Get your facts right rather than talking out your hole the next time, you shitwipe.
After the hurricane disaster Bush just formally declared his ‘War On Nature’ in his address he stated that the ‘War On Drugs and the War On Terror will continue but there is a new threat to be considered…’ pundits are saying this vindicates his long term stance on the Kyoto treaty, while critics believe the bush administration is once again turning human tragedy into political leverage.
kim the twat sounds like he hates the irish as much as he hates kaffers. another jumped up redneck cunt. actually around 70,000 irish fought with the british army in WWII and a fair few more with the american army when they finally pulled the finger out. in fact the top RAF ace at one point was a dubliner (before he was killed in action). so your argument is ridiculous. from 1939 to 1942, say, when you lot were busy hanging black men from trees, a lot more irish than americans were fighting and dying on the battlefields of europe.
those who emigrated to america during the famine helped pave the road for your forebearers you thankless muppet. du toit. a proud heritage, i’m sure.
i won’t go into the amount of irish that fought with the boers. nor bring up srebreniza and the proud role the dutch had there though i’d like to think an irish contingent would have shown a little more back bone.
the irish built america, you ungrateful prick, physically of course not to mention impregnating your women with the odd president and industrialist down through the years.
maybe there should be more green cards open to the irish so they can get in there and sort the place out.
you know we here in the US will be ungrateful about it too. we won’t look the gift horse in the mouth because we won’t even acknowledge that the horse has arrived.
hear hear major,but here is an american deal…you keep the million and Bertie takes back the tinkers. Fair play for all.
on second thought that might not be fair play since the tinkers have already bilked FEMA out of more than the gnp of Eire. Fuck it give us the million and you can have fuckin california.
