Help The People Of Iran

[Longreach747]

you can help the ppl of Iran, up to 25000 ppl have been killed and 50000 injured in a devestating earthquake in Bam.

urgent donations are needed and can be made via your local Red Cross! all hospitals have been destroyed in Bam. If you can help please do!!

[chrisburns]

Although it may be a good thing to help, I wont because they dont help us with anything, IE- War on Terrorism, maybe that is because the government is a terrorist oriented anyway, I dont even have any money

Harsh but true. How about Mr. Bin Laden crawl out from his cave to help his fellow brethren instead of spending millions on killing people.

[Longreach747]

so because they didnt stand along side you on the war on terror it makes them unworthy!

where the hell were you guys when Saddam was gassing and killing nearly a million iranians?

dont make a catastrophe a political football!

[tommyalf]

While I think it's terrible that this natural disaster took place I'd much rather see other countries foot the bill for any relief, especially radical Islamic groups who are supported by the Iranian government. Let them help themselves for a change.

You know what is most wack about it all. And this alone would stop me from helping. I read that

"Dogs are considered unclean by Muslims and their use in past relief efforts in the Islamic republic had proved controversial.
Iranian reluctance to allow foreign rescue teams to bring the animals delayed international relief efforts after quakes in Iran in 1990 and again last year."

How unbelievabley stupid are they? Because of their screwed up religion and thats exactly what it is! people have died in the ruins, where they would have been rescued by specially trained sniffer dogs.

WHO NEEDS RELIGION? IT IS ONE OF THE WORSE THINGS FOR MAN, IT HAS CREATES WAR, IT BRAIN WASHES CHILDREN! SCIENCE ANSWERS UNCERTANITY AND EVERYTHING ELSE NOT RELIGION! Excuse me if I have offended some

Totally agree, what a shameful attitude to take.

BTW, President Bush has said he will be sending aid for Iran.

I think some people in this thread should be VERY ashamed of themselves. A terrible natural disaster has happened that killed many 1000s of people, and the death toll is still rising, and what are some of the lines posted here:

I wont [help/donate] because they dont help us with anything, IE- War on Terrorism, maybe that is because the government is a terrorist oriented

and in reply to that shameful remark

Harsh but true. How about Mr. Bin Laden crawl out from his cave to help his fellow brethren instead of spending millions on killing people.

What has the average Iranian person, now quite possibly covered under a lot of debris, got to do with what OBL does? The IRA has killed many people in Northern Ireland, does that make all christians terrorists?

Moving on to:

I'd much rather see other countries foot the bill for any relief, especially radical Islamic groups who are supported by the Iranian government. Let them help themselves for a change.

As if the other countries in the ME aren't doing anything. But the next remark is the best of all.

How unbelievabley stupid are they? Because of their screwed up religion and thats exactly what it is! people have died in the ruins, where they would have been rescued by specially trained sniffer dogs.

Though I can understand the reasoning, it is very silly to respond to a religion like that. Every religion has its points that they are touchy about. Whether that's dogs, cows, euthanasia, suicide, kosher food.......

WHO NEEDS RELIGION? IT IS ONE OF THE WORSE THINGS FOR MAN, IT HAS CREATES WAR, IT BRAIN WASHES CHILDREN! SCIENCE ANSWERS UNCERTANITY AND EVERYTHING ELSE NOT RELIGION! Excuse me if I have offended some

Don't worry, you only offended something like half the world with this literary masterpiece. Remember, religion is taken very serious by a lot of people. It may have its drawbacks at times, it may have a lot of drawbacks as times, but your reaction is totally out of place. Especially in a thread like this.

[aic1985]

steve181: Your religion is screwed up, not theirs.

tommyalf and chrisburns: They probably don't even want people like you helping them

I really hope Iranians find survivors and that they are quickly able to rebuilt.

Help The People Of Iran

Uh, hello? Over 5,5 billion people on this planet believe in some form religion. You have just offend over 80% the entire global population .

[Cubana]

Petertenthije, I completely agree with you.

[chrisburns]

Funny how it is ok for the us to help, but i lost all respect for most Iranians after seeing thousands of them jumping for joy about the news of 9/11, you dont see us jumping for joy because thousands got killed, the US foots the bill for everyone in the world, I guess everyone hates us because we are to nice.

[GrantT]

i lost all respect for most Iranians after seeing thousands of them jumping for joy.

You lost your respect for most Iranians after you saw a few jumping for joy, i must say that makes sense.

[steve181]

just because "80%" of the worlds population is religious doesn't mean it's right. call me naive or whatever, but if people believed in themselves more they would not need to reley on religion to take care of them. Don't get me wrong if religion does it for some people thats fine it's their business, whetever makes them happy.

Iran's population is about 72 million people. If you have seen 72 million people jumping for joy on the streets, please contact me.

A few crazymen do not reflect the opinion/religion/etc. of a whole nation. Or does George W. Bush represent all Americans's ideals?
