RE: Promote ONE in your signature
I'm sorry, but I kinda think this is dumb. I don't want anyone bitching at me please.
I just mean.. poverty will always exist. Aslong as there are people who think money is very important and they gotta be rich (and there will always be some), poverty will always exist. Look at all the money the governments put into military stuff. Buying guns, buying bombs.. and what good does it do? That money could be used to give water to countries that don't have any, food to the REAL poor, shelter to the homeless. I don't believe this campaign will help much. Poverty will always exist. It might be hard to hear, but it's only fact.
You know what? I think it's your fault (who ever is reading). Just look at what you buy. A lot is useless. Look at all the money you put in computer parts, or how much you consume that could be given to poor people. Look at your house, if it's big. WHY is it big? It's useless. All the money you spend for your own enjoyment or because you've been told is a good thing to do (buying jewlery because its nice.. come on.. how useless can that get).. it could all be given to the poor. They have NOTHING while you live like happy mother --------------. I can't say I'm not the same, because of course I am. (I eat a lot, a can't really live without a comp, etc.) But at least I know it. I hate money.. I don't want it, I don't think it does anything good for us. I only use it because I have to. That's how we live in these countries. Gotta buy food, gotta buy clothes, gotta buy stuff.. But at least I don't exagerate with it. I don't buy an expensive car just because it's fast and "beautiful", I take the city bus or I walk. I don't even want a car. Anyways... just saying, one campaign won't do shit all.. Everyone needs to change their way of living to see changes in this cruel world. But some people are selfish. Some people don't care.. some people wouldn't make sacrifices to help others. And that's why nothing will ever change. The world is dying people.. Maybe the poor are dying of famin, but we are dying ourselves. We are dying from global warming, we are dying from all the stupid things we caused... and we are dying in our minds, being controlled by media, by the government. People don't even act for themselves.. they see something on TV, and it's an "in" so they want it.. what's the point? Nothing.. its "kewl". Heh... right. Look at what the government is doing also. It steals your money so they can enjoy themselves.. you know how much they are paid to sit on their asses looking at the poor die? Lots.. lots that could be used to help a part of their own people. Look at the homeless people. They get PUSHED away so tourists can come and not be frightenned by them.. WTF? government wants money huh... how about they helped those homeless people and maybe they wouldnt even have to pay security and police to push them off..
There are poor people everywhere and there will always be. Maybe a campaign helps a certain place in the world but there's another poor place somewhere else..
Anyways... I think I made my point.
oh forgot to say: THINK ABOUT IT.
