Six days on and still they wait for help - A dozen U.S. ships with 40 helicopters

Actually, muslims are not a race. It is a religion of hate.

They want to kill everyone who does not believe exactly what they do. I think your accusations are misplaced.

[shubi]

Request granted. ZOT!

[MKM1960]

Since you are a minister, you might want to do a little remedial reading in regards to who is our neighbor from the Gospel of Luke:

25And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'


26And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'


27And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'


28And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'


29And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?'


30and Jesus having taken up [the word], said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving [him] half dead.


31`And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;


32and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.


33`But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,


34and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;


35and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.


36`Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?'


37and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'



If you are a minister of the gospel I would suggest you consult with your God today. Remember two of those who Jesus condemns were so called righteous people.

[Rebelbase]

I've bookmarked that reply. It will be the first time a troll requested their own Zot.

[shubi]

I suggest you read how the Lord instructed the Israelites to kill every man woman and child in certain enemy cities.

When the Israelites did not carry out the Lord's instructions, he eventually sent them into slavery.

[shubi]

I am more a conservative than you are.
The Zot was for you.

[Rebelbase]

And that is supposed to impress anyone?

You claim to be a Christian Minister but your compassion for human life is pathetic. Do you often lead folks to Jesus by telling them that muslims are not worthy of charity?

[Rebelbase]

Have you recived instructions from God that we are to destroy all muslims?

[shubi]

What is compassionate about giving millions of dollars to bureaucrats that won't effectively give aid to save anyone?
Most of this money will be paid to bureaucrats, stolen or wasted.

Bush has already sent the Navy to save those we can.
Our government really has no authority to send our tax money to help other countries. We should have our taxes lowered and be able to give more to charities we know are effective, like the Salvation Army.

Giving money irresponsibly is the opposite of compassion. It is what the Rats do-form over substance.

In Indonesia, they put you to death if you preach Christianity. I happen to know a missionary over there.
The Indonesian government and most of its people are committed to Islam and its abhorance of every principle we hold dear. Strengthening them while we are at war with them is stupid.

[shubi]

I think Bush has.

[Rebelbase]

When did we go to war with Thailand?

[ASA Vet]

We should not support such racism.

Which of the three races do you consider the religion islam?

[shubi]

I was not including Thailand as an enemy. It is mostly a Buddhist country. Thailand did not have that much destruction. They are wealthy enough to handle it themselves.

So far, they have only had 5000 deaths, for which the said they needed body bags. That is laughable. We have no obligation to rebuild a nation's tourist resorts, do we?

[Rebelbase]

Rebelbase: "Have you received instructions from God that we are to destroy all muslims?"

Shubi: "I think Bush has."

Now you read minds? I don't appreciate you projecting demented bigotry to our President.

I stand by my assessment that you are a TROLL.

Christian Minister? That is a farce.

[shubi]

You misunderstood. They are being racist against caucasians.

They, of course, are mostly caucasian too, but their religion precludes them thinking about that.

India has not REFUSED international aid,rather it declined all offers for the TIME BEING.This is in keeping with the fact that there are lots of private & governmental relief operations happening.Moreover the states affected(Kerala,Tamil Nadu & to a lesser extent Andaman & Nicobar) have much better social & economic infrastructure than other parts of India-helping expedite aid efforts.More importantly,the Indian external affairs ministry has categorically said they won't hesitate to ask for aid if the need arose.That doesn't fit the definition of Refusal in my dictionary.BTW,this only applies to bilateral aid,private charities can still contribute towards the relief work in India.

If India needed aid,how come it could afford to send over a dozen naval ships,Il-76 & AN-32 planes,S/R helicopters & medical teams to the Maldives & Sri Lanka.That wouldn't have been possible if they couldn't look after themselves.An Indian naval hospital ship will arrive in Sumatra by tomorrow.Besides,India being a democracy cannot act like China.


PS-Having noticed the coverage by British media organisations like the Daily Telegraph & the BBC,I get the sense that they are hellbent on downplaying the efforts of countries like the US,India & Israel.Nobody has talked about the Israeli aid offers to all the nations affected or it's rescue teams in Thailand.The BBC gave wide coverage to 16 Germans arriving in Sri Lanka with aid,but didn't bother to look for the 6 Indian naval ships which arrived there by monday.& the US of A got it's share with the "STINGY "remark.

[shubi]

The fact is I am a Christian minister and I run a homeless ministry in the inner city.

Therefore, you are promoting a lie and slander against me that reduces your credibility to zilch.

In Phukett (an apt name)

It's pronounced "poo" as in Winnie the.

[shubi]

It doesn't matter who gets the credit as long as the job gets done.

As long as the UN does not get the credit. ;-)

[shubi]

"In Phukett (an apt name)

Your letter to Byrd is great.

However the name is pronounced it is apt. ;-)
