How could you possibly come to that conclusion with what I wrote?imortal wrote:
It sounds more like you would like to help poor Africans with my tax money. If you want to help, donate to the appropraite charity; that is why they exist. Our Government spends our tax money too stupidly already, but let us not turn this into another government taxation thread.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

Absolutely... it's why I think all aid to Africa should be private. Let the charities deal with this mess, because I'd rather not be forced into paying for it with taxes.
I want my tax money to help me.

So true... I hate the fact that we're arming them to the teeth, and we need to stop, but of course, the Zionists won't let us.Braddock wrote:
I can understand that argument, particularly when it's applied to countries like Israel. I would be livid if I knew a portion of my hard earned tax dollars were going to a regime I had little to no respect for.Turquoise wrote:

I believe it's something we should aspire to though, I find it a tad hypocritical when Western countries send millions in aid to Africa while maintaining trade agreements that they know are fucking Africans in the ass.

and I still don't give a fuck.
I went to Darfur the other day for lunch and the burgers tasted fine. I dunno what's going on either.

Our silence is not the biggest crime. Their fucknut governments and petty internecine conflicts are. You could throw money at Africa until your ass bleeds, and most of it is going to disappear into the pockets of the already wealthy, with what can't be used left to rot or stowed away in disuse.sergeriver wrote:

Is this what we do? Are we that bad? These kids deserve to have a childhood. What are we doing for them? Let's give them the chance. Let's not forget this, our silence is the biggest crime.
Well, it's good that we here in wealthy nations throw some phantom aid everywhere and take huge credit for helping poor people.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

you didn't seem to mind when there was oil involved.usmarine wrote:
Why does darfur get all the attention? Having been in that area of the world a few times, this shit is happening all over. Solve darfur and then you will have the next problem to move on to. Once you leave darfur to take care of the next problem, darfur will become a mess again.

Those people have no peace because they have no justice. Nobody to stick up for them. The only justice that can solve the situation and get rid of the aggressors is hot lead. So unless you support a multi-national full scale invasion, then you are just pissing in the wind.sergeriver wrote:

Well that would cause a whole other mess. At least go in, wipe these fuckers out, and give these people a fresh start. If peace only lasts for 5 years, at least they had that.Kmarion wrote:

I loléd the first time I saw them thinking Ï really doubt you're going to give a shit in a couple years." And I told them. And they didn't listen. And I was right.
Well, eventually, droughts and famines do fix the problem. You can only procreate so fast before you run out of food and succumb to disease.
Of course, lately, America and many other countries have made the mistake of letting these people immigrate there. No matter how futile many aid efforts are, it's still better to help these people from afar than to have them bring their problems with them to your own country.
