Numbers based on http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4145259.stm
Yeah it will be interesting to see how it turns out. I am just judging from, for example, the rate of contributions on Amazon, and the number of people that are getting hit up in supermarket checkout lines to add a few dollars on the credit card/ATM machine when they pay their bill. I think there's an awful lot of that money pouring in that hasn't been accounted for yet.
As others have told you, Americans give to hundreds, if not thousands of different agencies and churches. The money is sent out from there.
There is no possible way that the amount is that low.
I am assuming you are Norweigan since you want so badly for this to be a contest.
You know what, even if your numbers are true, which I doubt very, very much, it is for this ONE disaster.
Americans will consistently give in much greater amounts than many in other countries.
I think it's great for other countries to pitch in a bit more finally.
