But when I hear and read bullshit like "The US is to blame for the tsunami deaths!" and "Bush caused the tsunamis!", it makes me NOT want to give one red cent to help out. I'm tired of other countries BITCHING and MOANING because they think we aren't doing enough. You know what? Fuck you. We're doing ENOUGH! Stop it already. How much more are we supposed to give???? How much is enough??? Want to blame someone for this? Blame Mother Fucking Nature. Or better yet, blame the meterological "experts" in Thailand who chose NOT send out a warning. The tsunami wasn't an evil Bush plan. Enough with the conspiracy theories already! Everyone needs to calm the fuck down and get a hold of themselves.

*deep breath*

Contrary to what you might think, I am NOT a cold-hearted bitch. I had intended to post something eloquent regarding the tragic event, but it just didn't happen. I've cried over the past few days, thinking about all those people who've died. I sat in shock and watched the videos. I've seen the pictures of the mothers crying over the bodies of their children. As a world citizen, I can't help but pray for these people who've lost family, friends, homes, their entire lives.

But you wanna know something? My compassion level starts to drop when I see people pointing their fingers at the U.S. and trying to put the blame for a natural disaster on our government. Call me mean, call me callous, I really don't care. This "throw the blame on the U.S." game is getting pretty damn old. I'm to the point now where I just don't give a shit. I'm to the point to where I think other countries should stop relying on the U.S. if they hate us so fucking much. I mean, we're evvvvilllll and all. In the future, it would be wise NOT to bite the helping hand in front of you.

I'll say prayers until I turn blue in the face, but until the rest of the world gets the hell over itself and stop blaming the US and Bush for every little thing that happens and starts acknowledging the aid we give every year, I'm not sending one dime. I'm pretty sure my tax dollars are part of the MILLIONS of dollars we're already sending over for relief and I think that's enough. Oh wait, it's not. Nothing we EVER do is enough.

I know it's coming, so just flame away. Those of you who know me, know that I'm a VERY compassionate person and that I wouldn't post something like this if it didn't bother me so much. I debated all day long whether or not to post this. I didn't want to turn this tragedy into some rantfest. And I certainly didn't want to come across as uncaring in any way. And like I said before, I do care. I care a lot! But I've had it up to here with the rest of the assholes on this planet. Believe me, I don't like feeling this way. In fact, I'm ashamed to feel this way. But damnit, I'm tired of this bullshit. If people would stop being complete assholes about every damn thing, I wouldn't have to write posts like this.

Now that I've gotten my "feelings" out, I'm providing links to those of you who want to help out. If I've missed an important site, let me know. You see, I'm not a complete bitch.
