It isn't our job to support warring ethnic groups or to correct historical wrongs. You should read a book called Heirs to forgotten Kingdoms. It talks about the vanishing sectarian groups in the middle East. The arab spring led to a Christian winter. ISIS certainly didn't help matters, but in Egypt after Morsi won, coptic Christians were violently attacked and driven out. The same thing has happened in Iraq and Syria. Muslims fuck with smaller ethnic groups all the time. Sunni muslims are probably the worst, but the Shias of Iran fucking run pogroms on the B'ahais every chance they get. Muslims can play the victim card when they cross the Mediterranean, but locally they brutalize and bully every other ethnic group they can. But I guess we can blame all of that on the Sykes Picot Agreement of 1916 right?GrumpyCatFace wrote:Keep supporting those charity organizers then - they need to eat too.heydaralon wrote:Give yourself a pat on the back buddy!

Because me personally handing out some fucking food or mosquito netting is not going to make a dent in the problem. I can't give to a charity, because I know that 90% of it stays with the damn charity. It takes the power of a society to change things, and I want mine to do so.
Why? Perhaps I have a little bit of humanity left in me, that hasn't been completely subjugated by the corporate machinery and corruption around me.
If you have some idea of how to make a difference, then please illuminate us. I honestly don't.

I wanna play this game too! Can we blame the 2008 housing crash and Sandy Hook on the Stamp Act and the War of 1812?

Well clearly we are not taking them all in, so I guess it will be kind of like a reverse Escape from New York situation. I'm ok with dropping food in for them.

Since you're bragging about how much you "care," it's okay for me to brag about myself too, right?GrumpyCatFace wrote:
No religion here, Martin - in fact, you'll find that the most religious among us are the least inclined to actually help their fellow man.
Yes, I've been to Mexico twice, and the Caribbean a number of times. I've seen shanty towns, and been begged by children in the streets. I felt pity for them, and shame that I was so lucky for no reason.
Do you find it unnatural to care for the plight of fellow humans and want to help them?
I still want an answer to the question of climate refugees. Do we wall the border and watch millions of them starve and rape each other in camps? Maybe drop some food to them, while we go on with the 9-5 grind, and argue red vs. blue?
