POVERTY


Question Posted Saturday July 2 2005, 5:43 pm

I am not asking for advice but i am asking anyone that reads this to please visit www.one.org and sign the ONE DECLARATION a campaign fighting against AIDS and EXTREME POVERTY. They are not asking for your money they are asking for your voice because we can make poverty history one by one.
*JODYFRESH*
THANK YOU

I know this is old - but I feel I need to say this.

Stop.

African Poverty is bad and all, but honestly the current administration of this country needs to spend time looking after its own, instead of fighting crusades all over the rest of the world. People are aware already - and they have been. Ask any given American what they think that the financial structure of Africa is, and I guaruntee you that they will say terrible.

95% of the people that are trying to "raise awareness" about this, are just apathetic bastards who won't give up their paychecks, but would rather guilt trip others into sending the little money they have to this country. Live 8 was a deplorable showing of just how greedy the few american people with money actually are - for all of those people could've just given their money, and that concert could've given the money it had to hire those bands on, and that would've been a LOT of money. Its a guilt trip, and anyone continuing the god forsaken chain letter thing thats going on is just a sad sappy sucker like the rest.

There are plenty of people in America that don't have quality jobs, there are crack whores, drug dealers, pimps, walmart greeters and thugs who haven't even been given a chance by their system, and now this system is giving people in other countries a chance, people are dying because of this goddamn holy war we are in right now - trying to bring "peace and structure" to these "poor countries" for nothing. Its just the administrations greed, trying to sell out spaces so that some third world dirt heap can have a walmart and 250 crappily employed citizens.

Every city around me, almost systematically is destroyed by "Walmart". People lose jobs, go hungry, are forced to move, are forced to make horrible decisions each day because of this corporation - yet the government does nothing to aid our people. Then a few fucking patsys come along and tell us that the few struggling to keep jobs and keep in a house, the few trying to scrape out a living - aren't doing our part to help the others along with our government.

Our government isn't helping us, and Africa is just another cantrip to draw attention away from the ECONOMIC CRISIS that is happening in our own country.

We aren't doing a whole hell of a lot better than any of them.

That was great and I definately signed on I just wanna remind you guys that awareness alone doesn't change anything! You have to get out there and shake your goverment, member of parliment or senator up!

DEMOCRACY ONLY WORKS IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY ON YOUR GOVERMENT'S ASS AND HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING!

Don't just sign a declaration, write a letter, write 10 letters, make a poster, join a group, volunteer! There is so much more you can do to help rid the world of proverty and starvation!

And how does this work if we don't send anything in? You know $$$. Without money you can't do jack. Its just a petition people will sign saying they're against it.

It wont change a thing.
