 You might find this of interest:


'CNN Headline News did a short news listing regarding Ford and GM's ,Chrysler
contributions to the relief and recovery efforts in New York and
Washington.

The findings are as follows.......

1. Ford- $1 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions of the same number plus 10 Excursions to NY Fire Dept. The company also offered ER response team services and office space to displaced government employees.

2. GM- $1 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions of the same number and a fleet of vans, suv's, and trucks.

3. Daimler Chrysler- $10 million to support of the children and victims of the Sept. 11 attack.

4. Harley Davidson motorcycles- $1 million and 30 new motorcycles to the New York Police Dept.

5. Volkswagen-Employees and management created a Sept 11 Foundation, funded initial with $2 million, for the assistance of the children and victims of the WTC..

6. Hyundai- $300,000 to the American Red Cross.



7. Audi-Nothing.

8. BMW-Nothing.

9. Daewoo- Nothing.

10. Fiat-Nothing.

11. Honda- Nothing despite boasting of second best sales month ever in
August 2001 (Corporate Ofc Japan, profits in Japan)

12. Isuzu- Nothing.

13.. Mitsubishi-Nothing.

14. Nissan-Nothing. (Corporate OFc. Japan, Profits in Japan)

15. Porsche-Nothing. Press release with condolences via the Porsche website.

16. Subaru- Nothing.

17. Suzuki- Nothing.

18. Toyota-Nothing despite claims of high sales in July and August 2001.. Condolences posted on the website (Corporate Ofc. Japan, Profits in Japan)


Whenever the time may be for you to purchase or lease a new vehicle, keep this information in mind. You might want to give more consideration to a car manufactured by an American-owned and / or American
based company. Apart from Hyundai and Volkswagen, the foreign car companies contributed nothing at all to the citizens of the United States.
It's OK for these companies to take money out of this country, but it is apparently not acceptable to return some in a time of crisis. I believe we should not forget things like this next time you want to buy a new vehicle..........


discuss my find.

 Now that I know what these manufacturers did for 9/11, I'm interested to read what all 18 businesses did for the Tsunami victims of 2004.


Girlfriend: Why are the werewolves more important than living life?!

Girlfriend: Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

LOL@ you thinking car companies have some responsibilitie to donate to victims of a terrorist atack. Its nice if they did, but ill be choosing a car based on how good it is (gas mileage, reliability etc), not how much they gave to the red cross or anything else.

Maybe car companies that are letting their employees go shouldnt be donating money to anyone until they can keep their employees off the unemplyment line.

I fucking hate it sooooooo much when people forward emails without really looking into what the fuck they are forwarding.
Its like everything that people send in emails is 100% true.
Just like I have a relative from Africa who wants to give me 25 million dollars.
3 3 3 I'm only half evil.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
