I agree actually, it's a ridiculous argument, it was in response to an equally ridiculous premise.

The bottom line Toony is there is nothing wrong with the OP's pride in his country, or his desire to want to see it become a better place than it is now. And to each his own in his decision on how to go about doing that.

Encourage one another in the things we choose to stand for and fight for, don't belittle them just because their battle is not one you would pick.

My country donates more than your country.

Nu uh! Well my country is more GREEN Than yours!

Get real! Mine has freedom of choice!

Well mine has real healthcare!

My country could totally beat up your country. Srsly, we have nukes.

.....

Bitch!

I agree also, but then again this seems to be the underlying point with this whole thread. If you use statistics to serve your own point, expect to be called out on it if they are wrong or misleading.

Misleading? That's having to dig down into aid spent to countries with less than a million people to somehow undermine the BILLIONS spent elsewhere.

Who's misleading again?

Are you dense? The figures are nearly identical whether you sort by ODA to LDCs or not, the USA is still at the very bottom compared to the GNI. It makes no real difference other than illustrate a small possible flaw with the statistic in relation to the context it was being used.
