Tragedy in Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, all SE Asia

Let me ask you this then? Why do armed forces that go to Indonesia get hazordeous pay? I was not making any accusations against Indoesia, much the same as Iraq. I Don´t hate the people in Iraq, exept for the terrorists. Every country has a group of them hiding there. To say that there are no terrorist forces in Indonesia is deffinatly false. And btw, what forum rule did I break? You must have missinterpeted my statement. <img src=´http://www.danasoft.com/sig/thisisfakedotcom.jpg ´> --------------------------------------- <A href=´http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;id=0&amp;t=71´ Target=_Blank><img src=´http://www.spreadfirefox.com/c…s/Buttons/88x31/safer.gif ´></a>

sirius, its a disaster area, or have you forgotten?

They only get hazerdous pay if there is a reasonable opposition. Marines in Sri Lanka dont get hazerdous pay anyway. Okay off of that subject. THe reason we are here is to express our sorrows for the ones who didn´t survive and condolences for those that lost someone. A lot of people lost everything they hold dear, including many essential items. If I could, I would give a lot of money to aid in the recovery. I have helped a little sofar around the camp getting some things together, and am going to help a bit more today. They need it more than I do. <img src=´http://www.danasoft.com/sig/thisisfakedotcom.j ´> --------------------------------------- <A href=´http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;id=0&amp;t=71´ Target=_Blank><img src=´http://www.spreadfirefox.com/c…tes/Buttons/88x31/safer.g ´></a> Edited by - Boscoe on 1/6/2005 2:13:29 AM Edited by - Finalday on 1/11/2005 5:12:42 AM

I didn´t know that they get hazardous pay or not, but probably because it´s a disaster area with diseases aplenty. I have no problem with you saying that there are terrorists here. I´ll be the first one to admit that. But your wording &quot;Indonesia is/was harboring terrorists&quot; is a big difference than saying that &quot;there are terrorists in Indonesia&quot;. There are definitely terrorists cells in USA, UK, Russia, Spain and perhaps every country in the world, but does that mean these countries/governments HARBOR terrorists? see the big difference between the two statements? The forum rules I was referring to is the no-politics rule, a rule I have broken twice <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> EDIT: Regarding hazard pay for Marines deployed in Indonesia, the stricken province of Aceh was plagued with insurgency by separatists - the Free Aceh Movement. There are risks of weapons contact, but with guerilla separatists, not terrorists (although Sri Lanka has her the Tamil Tigers, I don´t know how that works out). Which is a good thing - tens of thousands of marines and soldiers are already there trying to quash the rebellion and when the quakes and tsunamis hit they were the only standing structure in the area.

Hey how is this. Australia my countries govenment has donated $1 Billion and thousands of kids aged about 6-10 are donating their pocket money as well. Plus enough money has also being donated that every Aussie person could have given at least $5 each. And did you know that 2 years ago that the world was heading for war but now it´s getting together to help with the disaster. And before I go 1 Aussie saved a hundred lives. He use to work at sea and he and his family went to take a holiday at uhh... forgot were it was. Any way he sore a really strong current come and move all the boats siting there move. He started observing the tides and realised that they were getting dangrous. He start yelling and all telling everyone to get out of the water up to high ground. Everyone started to relise that it was geting dangrous as well and decide to follow his orders. They made it to high ground and he started to observe the waves. He relised that tidal wave was on the way and ordered everyone to get on the boats at he got them to safety

@Leion: well, it´s good when the right man is in the right place. @FF: I personally don´t see your posts as breaking forum rules - some points just have to be made clear, and heck, who woouldn´t stand up for one´s motherland. Nothing wrong with Sirius ei

Allow my to clarify my minds understanding of the word harboring... When I say it... 1. They are living in the country 2. The government is not backing them ( That is where we got crossed there) 3. They are using the resources of that country So I´m sorry for not clarifying it earlier, about the politics... Well, you caught me... I was mearly pointing out a difference that a lot of people are pissed off about. (that shouldn´t be) <img src=´http://www.danasoft.com/sig/thisisfakedotcom.j ´> --------------------------------------- <A href=´http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;id=0&amp;t=71´ Target=_Blank><img src=´http://www.spreadfirefox.com/c…tes/Buttons/88x31/safer.g ´></a> Edited by - Finalday on 1/11/2005 5:12:11 AM

This is horrific. I mean how, so much. Who ever said BTW anyone notice about counting bodys, we are truly a destructive race, but we are sometimes put in our place by more destruction then we could ever do. There is a huge death toll now isnt there? _____________________________________________________________ <img src=´http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/Alucard8121/Arav.gif ´> New from Somewhere!

Death toll hovering around 160-&gt;170 k. a lot of people <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The Canadian Federal Government upped its aid count today from 80 mil. to 425 mil. I´m happy <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

I remember an old Star Trek show (original series) where Spock doubled over in grief. His telepathy &quot;felt&quot; thousands die on a Vulcan starship which was destroyed. He stated that he´d never understood how humans can so mourn the loss of one yet be so callous about the loss of thousands. I know this is just a TV show, but I´ve always thought this phrase rang quite true.
