Originally by: Joe Phoenix USA HAS A PLEX APPEAL???!?!?!?!
Yes Joe, a fair amount of the South was flattened a couple of nights ago by a few hundred tornado's. There was (as these things go) little or no warning. Rescue and recovery efforts are ongoing, and the Red Cross is heavily involved.
They claim to be blessed by god, they can deal with their own damn problems if they are willing to be that stupid.
I never knew that one's IQ caused tornados to spawn on top of you, nor one's faith. You learn something new every day.
You seem to not see the correlation between religion and IQ. Besides if a country spends it's time making dumb statements about their unfounded superiority, claiming their the most powerful country on Earth, then you can't expect the world to come to their aid when something bad happens.

You are confusing governments with disaster victims again. Perhaps, in your country, it's the same thing?  ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction. |

Isn't it the same thing everywhere? Only in my country we don't believe our government.

Because our bankers and gov't is busy turning us into a third world country?

We don't believe our's either. Just take a look at all the different theories surrounding JFK, the moon landing, 9/11, a certain birth certificate and now OBL. ------- "The strong are often wrong but the weak are never free." |

So what correlation is this Joe? IQ has no bearing where faith is concerned.

Excellent derailment of the thread by the way. You almost pulled it off without looking totally ignorant. ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction. |

Actually China is one of the poorest countries in the world, by population.

Perhaps a distortionary metric for the largest population on earth?

Sounds like we should donate cyanide capsules instead of PLEX. They are cheaper, and ostensibly more effective in fixing that ratio.

Belgium needs plex aid. We haven't have had a federal government for more than a year, if that doesn't deserve help!

I must admit that not having a government does beat having a government filled with incapable imbeciles.

"What happened to Australia's PLEX aid?"
Probably b/c like handfuls of world emergencies happened since Australia. And, this is EVE, you'd be luckier that that $$$ found its home on Mars. Literally.

I also made a thread asking the same question a while ago OP, and I'm posting this with my main, and signing it with my real name, because I feel strongly about this. This post contains some inflammable material, but I ask that the GM's leave it unaltered, because this is a passionate post, and I mean everything I say here.
When I made that thread OP, I got similar responses to you. I reckon I know what the problem is. Most people can't wrap their minds around the scale of the QLD floods. Gotta remember, most people who play eve are from europe, they are used to being able to drive across three countries in the space of two hours.
Sure, you can bandy around phrases like:
"A single farm the size of Belgium" "Area underwater equal to France and Germany combined" "you could drop the entire UK into the flood zone and not find it for three weeks" "3 days drive to get from one end of the devistation zone to the other"
But eurpoeans don't understand size. I reckon that fundamentally, they just don't get it. The Americans do, so do the Canadians. But forget help from europe. Their nations are so small, they can't comprehend national disasters the size of ours, they compare it land % wise and just shrug.
And for those who say "the human loss is insignificant", you are sick sorry bastards. During the QLD floods, a 12 year old boy and his 10 year old brother were clinging to a piece of debris while being swept away in the floodwaters. When a helicopter came to rescue them, it could only rescue one of them at a time. The 12 year old insisted they take his little brother first, and by the time they got back to pick him up, he had been swept off and drowned.
Think about the kind of situation that pushes a child of 12 to consider his own mortality versus one of his siblings, and knowingly sacrifice himself so his brother can live, and then tell me that the human loss was insignificant. Think about his little brother, who will grow up and live his life with only the vaguest memories of an older brother who chose to die so he could live, before ever really living himself. Imagine the guilt of that memory. Imagine all the lost moments.
Do you even have the capacity for that kind of empathy?
To those who can read that story and still think the loss was meaningless, I say this: You sick, sorry bastards. I spit on you, and I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, hope your whole family and everyone you ever loved dies in a minor epidemic, leaving you with not a single person in the world you care about, and when you go to tell people about it, they tell you the loss from that epidemic was insignificant. I hope you find out what it feels like to be that boy.
Regards, Tim.
