Stop Joseph Kony- rescue thousands of children

[GNucks]

wow, you're hilariously deluded  

Iraq was bluffing that they had WMDs  

or

the claim that Iraq definitely had WMDs was used as a justification for waging war and removing Saddam Hussein (not a bad thing), but WMDs were not actually found  

"Hussein regarded the Iranian threat as so serious that it was the major factor in his decision not to allow United Nations weapons inspectors to return, he said. Citing their shared border and his belief Iran would intend to annex southern Iraq, Hussein said he was more concerned about Iran discovering Iraq's weaknesses than repercussions from the United States and the international community. He believed that the inspectors would have directly identified to the Iranians where to inflict maximum damage to Iraq."

and Israel's, don't forget

Don't stray off topic. This thread isn't about Israel. A country whose situation is a much grander scale than Uganda's, and is actually a valuable ally.

It's obvious that the western world deems certain regions "unworthy" of their intervention, yet other regions are very "worthy" of their intervention (bombs).




Why is that?

Because some places make prettier craters than others obviously.

Don't stray off topic.

It's not really off topic when you think about it

Pointing out that you are a gullible idiot, in a thread started by a gullible idiot, about a video with millions of views and repostings by gullible idiots...it fits reasonably well with the topic at hand

[GNucks]

Ah, name-calling. No additional arguments, just stubbornly asserting that everyone else is stupid. This guy is obviously the smarter and better-informed person in this discussion. I bow down to your superior wisdom and intellect.  

You win.

Ah, name-calling. No additional arguments

I was never arguing in the first place, I'm fine with just laughing at posts like your original response to the thread. You're the one trying to justify yourself as if that's somehow going to change the facts

Think of it this way- the "slacktivists" provide moral support.  Do anything long enough and you feel like no-one cares anymore.  It certainly helps the ones who want to get something done.  It's certainly better than nothing, though; though just watching it proves nothing, you don't know what the video is until you click on it.

We have our own problems in this country. I could care less what they do over there in Africa. That's the United Nations job. I have my own kids to worry about. If ya got a urge to save the world how about starting your own country first.

They're just as much people as your neighbors.  It may be the UN's job to police, but at least give some words of encouragement.

You want to save the world Penquin? How about you get off the computer and go downtown and just sit and talk with some wino for a few weeks and get to know them. Maybe take them to lunch. Buy them some cigarettes...become their friend. Ask them how they ended up the way they are. Ask them about their broken dreams and lost loves. Ask them if they care about what goes on in Africa.

I have and they don't. What they care about is somewhere warm to spend the night, what their kids look like now and if they think about them and say a prayer for them at bedtime. They wonder where they'll spend the day to get out of the heat on the streets and if they can scrap together enough change for some smokes and a bottle of MadDog so they can forgot about their lives for a few hours. They wonder if anyone will care who they were when some guy finds them dead in the gutter one cold morning.

You want to save the world...go for it. It's right in your backyard. But I doubt you have the balls. Much easier for your kind to just throw a few bucks overseas and brag about how you care soooo much about mankind. How about selling that robot geek toy you made and giving the cash to a homeless shelter. Better yet, go up to a homeless guy and put that fancy NorthFace jacket you love so much, on his back. You don't have to say a word...just walk away. That's how I roll. You just type about it, and share on your Facebook page.

The man I refer to in my little story was a Vietnam vet name James. People on the street called him "Colonel". Died in my arms while we were drinking behind a liquor store. aug of 91. Columbia Missouri. I can still see the half drank bottle of vodka laying in his lap that we were drinking that day. He was a corporal actually.
