«Because America is one of the few countries that not only has the ability to to help other countries, but also the *will* to help other countries out. Despite popular global opinion, Americans are some of the most generous people out there who will gladly give a person the shirt of their back. This applies to a person in need or a country in need. Sometimes, in our effort to help out, we do too much, but the intentions are good. (For the record that old phrase "The path to hell is paved with good intentions" is completely moronic and I can't believe people actually think it's a good quote with some form of valid meaning.)
This is also why America is in such a large debt. We're constantly giving and giving and giving. »

What I am trying to say is that sometimes you offer your help but it is not wanted <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
It is very nice of you but sometimes it is better not to use help it is offered. Like having a child that is learning to walk. If you constantly offer help and don´t leave it to make an efford, and fall down and get up again and finally find balance, then you do harm and not good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
[color:"yellow"]I want all of us who took part in this interesting conversation permit me to close up with a wish. I know that there is a thread for that but I find it more suitable here so please forgive me the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />
I wish to all people all over the world, no matter sex, colour, race, nationality, etc to be happy, to have peace, to love children, to be healthy and strong. It is Christmas. Lets wish less suffering in this world. We are a powerful team in this forum. And even though we have different opinions we like each other and learn from each other so much. So I think that my wish will come true. We have a nice word here in Greece for people like me and it means people who walk on the clouds. Meaning that sometimes we are over optimistic but I believe in the power of all of you. I will always do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />[/color]
