New global poll shows that you Americans top the chart for most charitable behaviour, 3 catogries you topped the poll in: volunteering time, giving money and helping strangers. Well done!

As in The United States of America? Did Bill Gates push us over the top for giving money?

Well depends on if they worked out giving money on population. If USA has let's say 800m population and the all gave $1 and the uk has 80m population and they gave the same ammount. It's obvious USA give more cash in total but the same ammount per person. :p

That's based on a behaviour poll. I.e. people are asked how charitable they think they are. The OECD bases it's results on fact, not immodesty.

Awesome (if it's true). At my work right now, we're fundraising for the Being Alive foundation for which all proceeds go toward research & a cure for HIV/AIDS.

Also, on Christmas Eve we're gonna take gifts & hang out with the kids & a local teen shelter. :)

I'd say that it's true, just last night I gave my broke friend 10% of my beers... And once smoked with a homeless guy....

We gave more spent uranium to the Iraqis than any other nation.

It's the spirit of giving that makes us bad asses.
