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.

If this is going to turn into a 2nd grade school yard type argument, I'd just like to chime in that my country can beat up your country.

End. Of. Discussion.

The first post was a wrestling style USA! USA! USA! post, what do you expect? There was actually some interesting discussion in this thread, unlike what you just posted.

I. dont. care. about. when. you. think. discussions. should. end.
