    I read the article but could not find within what “1 million pounds of aid” entailed. What does that mean? What percentage of weight was food and medical supplies? Temporary housing? I can’t help but wonder why that information was not included. Does anyone know more?

      Are percentage breakdowns frequently included in reporting on humanitarian aid delivery? I haven’t seen this to be the norm, and wasn’t wondering why it wasn’t included.

        Your’e asking the wrong fella, fella. But yaknow i was questioning the report, not the quality of your post, OP. I liked it and wanted to know more information. Discussing the material of your post is part of a discussion forum, right? Your own lack of curiosity isn’t really the point once you post it. Or do you have a completely different idear of what this place is supposed to be?

          No need to get worked up here. I was asking a question too, in case you had been reading articles that I haven’t. I get you’re simply curious and didn’t know if that kind of figure is typically included in this kind of reporting. I’m responding by asking if you’d seen different and stating that from what I’ve seen that percentage breakdowns are not frequently included, which is not surprising to me.

          That ok with you?

            No, it’s not. because it’s the worst kinda lame having to talk to someone so effin’ passive aggressive. I do enjoy throwing that shit back in people’s faces sometimes. But now I’m going to relax, smoke a cigarette, literally touch some grass. Take it easy.

              Ok buddy, I’ll take a page from your book and be more clear about my aggression next time. To be clear, I wasn’t being passive aggressive with you.

              Enjoy your grass.

                You know what? That cigarette was great. I reread your first reply 11 more times and with nicotine’s awful clarity i realized i read your comment in a mocking defensive tone, when you didn’t actually mean it that way.

                I am sorry

                  I appreciate the apology. I’m as well sometimes guilty of presuming tone where there isn’t.

                  Additionally, I can understand that sometimes the things I throw can be caught harshly, and don’t mean it as sharply as it could be taken.
