So your point about why the US are great and morally ‘stellar ‘ (to use your word) is that it’s —- big? Wow, that’s anticlimactic.

- analognoise 5y agoAdd up all those populations. We're exceedingly generous, although less so than the Germans.
- nautilius 5y agoYou may want to run the numbers on Norway (5 mio people), Sweden, Netherlands, etc. and all the others that aren’t even on a list that only shows totals and not per capita ‘generosity’. See, I don’t know if this is helping the case you are trying to make against cycomanic. You come here claiming you are more generous than the next 10 combined, when, in reality, you aren’t even in the top 5.
- analognoise 5y agoIn terms of total dollars given, by far and away? If you add up the populations of the next 9 countries, it dwarfs the US population. Norway would fit in 1/3 of the most prosperous part of Los Angeles. I assumed we were talking about geopolitical powers.
- nautilius 5y agoYou provided the list, I can’t help that you now do not like it anymore.
- nautilius 5y agoI mean, believe what you want, just make sure I’m nowhere near when you explain to the waitress why your party of 20 tipping $11 is so much more generous than the one guy tipping $10.
- analognoise 5y agoYou regularly tip $200 when you're out in a group? I mean I guess if it's a wedding party, now that I think about it.
