Yep, those amenities are vital to sustaining life! I know I'd just die without access to the weight room, swimming pool, tennis courts, and clubhouse.
Cool graphic!
Did your mother have any children that lived?
Obviously a HS freshman who's teacher loaded him down with this poop and hasn't bothered to research anything else. It sounds good; its more humanistic; and, since people like this have the burning desire to say and do things that impress other people, liberalism idiocy is just the ticket.
There are MANY MANY MANY problems with using money spent on the war for feeding people "across the world." The first problem is that the money never gets to be spent to buy the food and feed people. The people are starving because they have a tyrannical government that's oppressing them, and those leaders have a vested interest in keeping them from being fed and whatever else. Second, after the food is gone, they will be right back to the same situation they were in before the food drive. Hungry and being slaughtered when convenient. Do we continue to feed them, in spite of the fact that they can't and won't help themselves? Third, once countries like Iran, North Korea, and the former Iraq (not to mention any looney group from the middle east hiding who knows where) know that American money will be spent on a We are the World project rather than to defend ourselves, it will be open season on all things American. Finally, our only business in this world should be to protect our own interests. Dependance begets more dependance. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings or isn't the feel good answer your teacher expects, but it is the truth.
Have you looked at why AIDS so rampant in Sub-Saharan Africa?
The tribes put faith in their shaman, and avoid “evil” western medicine.
The touted cure is to have sexual intercourse with a young virgin.
For the men, a monogamous sexual relationship is nearly synonymous with homosexuality - homosexuality being the lesser of the two. A “real man” has sex with as many partners as possible.
Until these attitudes change, AIDS will continue to kill blacks in Africa. No amount of money will change that.
I think your have your Favorites hyperlinks scrambled this is FreeRepublic, not Democratic Underground or some other such whiner board.
I assume that many of the folks effected by death every day are of the child persuasion. But, if the governments of these nations really wanted to attract international attention and aid, they'd bribe UN officials. Bono doesn't help just anyone, you know.
Good graphic!
Here kitty, kitty, kitty....
I certainly hope you've taken time out from feeding starving people in Anywhere, Anycountry to post this thread. Because IF you are at home, comfy, cozy, FULL, and safe, you are a hypocrit. Do NOT preach unless you are prepared to show us what you've done and are now doing. Otherwise, talk to the hand.
Before trying to get rid of Saddam Hussain(sic)(a person who has travelled around the world will realize that he is, believe it or not, one of the BETTER dictators in this world)
I literally convulsed with derisive laughter. I'm left speechless by the profound stupidity of this poster.
They just can't help themselves. They try to contain themselves, but the ugly truth surfaces. They can't help it.
A little sterilizing....
Well said, Jim. It's all about using OTHER people's tax dollars, wasting OTHER people's time, and OUR nation's resources.
Yep!
