Is that a fact?
A quick google, too, reveals dozens and dozens of countries that have sent money and other assistance.
Where exactly did you get your "it is ONLY the US who has given money to help the people of Pakistan" 'fact' from?

I withdraw the bit about only American money coming to Pakistan and no money from other countries coming for Katrina after having been shown. Boing.
As for the bit about dumping trillions of gallons of oil off the shores of the US, it was a bit of a rant but yes the corporation is British is it not? Boing.
BOING, BOING, BOING, BOING.
Originally posted by whodeyNo Whodey, BP is a multinational corporation. They used to be a British-based multinational but then in 2000 they merged with Amoco (American owners of the Amoco Cadiz - remember that?) and changed the name from British Petroleum to BP Amoco Plc. Currently, around 80% of their stock is owned by US and UK investors, pretty evenly split down the middle. While the company's headquarters is still located in the UK, to call them a British organisation would be naive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BP

Furthermore, your use of the word 'dumping' is inappropriate here. This implies a deliberate action - I don't think even the most radical conspiracy theorist could possibly imagine that an oil company could have any reason to deliberately discard 5 million barrels of oil.

"I wasn't really serious about the dumping oil comment; I was just making a completely sarcastic reference to the oil spill"

So far as Britain is concerned, it may also have something to do with the fact that many of the suspected, and convicted, Islamic terrorists have been trained in the art of soucide bombing there.
