until you abandon your atheism you will never understand the motive for these evils. the devil is real, and there are those that do what is in his interest. nothing will make sense and you won’t find the missing link until you understand this reality and accept jesus christ as your personal savior. you have been brainwashed by the media you consume which blinds you. the globalist agenda cannot be understood without understanding satan’s role in the world and what the bible says about him.

Why would Arab Muslims who currently enslave and oppress black africans care about a country ruled by black people such as Haiti.
April 1st, 2010 at 9:59 pm
I’m sure crackhead. Israel does an amazing thing that Arabs didnt even think of doing. Notice how not one Arab Muslim nation sent even one delegation to Haiti. Keep talking smack and hopefully someone will smack you

@GayRepublicanPatriot i think israel was looking for more organs to harvest. haiti was “the” place to be for organs. israel got in and got out quickly. always an eye for profit. lol

It was a message to the USSR, in particular.

Hey at least Israel sent people to help the humanitarian crisis. You criticize them all the time. No Arab country sent the Haitians jack..and it sure aint because they didnt have the money!

Or look at Somalia. Apparently, we weren’t giving them aid fast enough, so they sent thugs out to STEAL some. Oh, and rob any other ships in the area that looked like they had something worth stealing!
I know that there are bad people in every civilization, BUT Third World countries seem to like to give them Free Reign, or worse, hold them up as Big Damn Heroes.
If WE give resources, WE get to decide how much and whom to give it to!
If you pay a bum, and it’s not enough, can he rob you?
April 2nd, 2010 at 1:16 am
But seriously, as to handouts, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. The type of aid, how fast it’s given, even the TYPE of aid, all invite bitching!
If you give a bum $5, they’ll bitch that it’s not $20, if you give $20, they’ll bitch that it’s not $50. If you give $50, they’ll bitch that it’s not in small bills.
I gave a whole COMPUTER to a homeless shelter, and they bitched that it wasn’t State Of The Art!
Similarly, Haiti is bitching we’re not giving ENOUGH, and that troops stop their thieves!

Congrats on not identifying yourself by geography, but too many do. The majority of America’s illegals come from one country, and refuse to give up the “culture” of that country–even though it’s done NOTHING for them, and indeed, hanging onto it is counterproductive in the country they are invading…Then they wonder why their invasion is considered undesirable. If someone refused to speak your language ON PURPOSE, why help them?
If their culture’s so great, why not stay there and enjoy it?

Great deal for them, but not so much for the country they push their trash ON. A country struggling to take care of ITS OWN poor, suddenly gets a truckload or two MORE to take care of, who DEMAND the same or BETTER treatment as people who BELONG in that country.
If your neighbor kept popping out kids, realizing they couldn’t afford them, and dropping them off at your house, when would you consider your house “full”, and say, “QUIT BREEDING! WE can’t afford it anymore!”?
April 2nd, 2010 at 3:10 am
Yes, but this is complicated when one country exports its poor to another. Take Mexico, for instance. They “let” their rejects invade America so that they will be America’s problem instead of their own.
Something akin to my neighbor “letting” his dog crap in MY yard, so HIS stays nice&clean!
PLUS, by divesting themselves of these undesirables, they LOWER the number of malcontents in their own country, so they won’t develop the Critical Mass to revolt!

And you’re HALF right about economies of scale being an advantage for larger economies (And larger CORPORATIONS, for that matter), but you also neglect that the thugs that kick out the civilized people usually upset the infrastructural network the Civilized World had in place. Take Zimbabwe, a thriving farming zone, but now that the Big Boss and his cronies have the best land, they can’t even feed THEMSELVES!
April 2nd, 2010 at 4:00 am
What happened to the BILLIONS America gave Haiti before this earthquake? Have they searched the couch-cushions? Maybe a million or two fell in there!
But seriously, they kicked OUT the civilized people, remember? Why should the Civilized World give a damn what happens to them afterward?
If I shot at my parents, I would not expect them to help me! America at least waited until we were self-sufficient to declare independence–and it was that very wealth that made Britain want to hang on so long!

You want to talk waste of food, you need to quit thinking “national celebration”.
Look up Tomato Day in Spain or Italy. 70,000 POUNDS of tomatoes, literally thrown into the streets! To an American, that represents an amazing waste.
My Mom is a cook at a resturant, and the local homeless shelter REFUSED DELIVERY of end-of-day food, because it wasn’t good enough for them. Even the POOR are spoiled!
And yes, there’s a ton of food commercials, but if you get fat, THAT is vilified too! Paradox?

In this regard, I view crime as the inability of the government to cope with the demands of the populace, and I see that inability as a direct result of the inherent flaws of popular political systems, which in the end is the fault of the populace. Humans as biological beings are easily acclimated and the will to survive often leads the majority of them to live in less than desirable situations. These are complicated issues which I’m still trying to understand, which is why i reserve judgment

I literally turn off the tv anytime i see some food fight scene in a movie. You have no clue what it is like when food is a need not a want, nor something that warrants surgical intervention to curb appetites. That said, yes, there will always be elements ready to capitalize on such a shortage/opportunity. But you should know that the ratio of “evil” / “good citizens” is the same world wide. I know what part of the world i was born but i by no means identify myself by geography.

the large infrastructure that reduces costs by economies of scale for established countries like America. We are left having to rely on few natural resources, and human resources are heavily invested in dead end industries like tourism. This is a basic fact, documented for many emerging economies and “developing nations”, coincidentally one of nationals won a nobel prize for his research in this field, which shed new light on the transition from colonial states to independent natures.

Third world countries dont want handouts, they need it. As the majority of 3rd world countries are ex-imperial colonies, when given their independence they were left basically in the wilderness to fend for themselves, and in the end still having to rely on the same bodies who have granted them ‘freedom’.
It’s amusing to me, especially considering my country just celebrated it’s 31st independence yesterday. we’re not attached to any large body and dont enjoy the same benefits of being part of

you can spend trillions freeing iraq, but haiti right under your nose needs 2 earthquakes to realize it takes around 10 billion to fix the economy, when it was purposefully destroyed int he first place? You don’t represent america or all those states of which it is comprised, this is a fundamental flaw in logic, exploited for ages by politicians to galvanize citizens around THEIR agendas. patriotism, to me is like voluntary retardation. it’s so similar to socialism except for the selfish part

ASSUMING a given goal is achievable by legal means, why should a criminal be lionized for doing it the “easy” way?
Or do you consider those who follow the law chumps?
If poverty is an excuse for breaking the law, at what do you become “Not Poor”, and thus beholden to the law? And above what point does a “Not Poor” person–or NATION–become rich enough to rob?
And would you REALLY want to live in a twisted system like that?
April 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 am
Take Somalia. We weren’t handing out aid fast enough, so Somalia sent out boats to STEAL the aid–and rob any other ships passing through while they were at it.
Now that ONE got caught (Why wasn’t he shot like his 3 fellow bangers?), there’s all this “He’s too poor” and “He doesn’t know any better”
If that is true, we should take him and people like him and put them in a retarded institution, rather than try to treat them as equals. They want to be treated as equals–EXCEPT PUNISHMENT!

In America, there’s a concept called “Tough Love”, where you have to LET people make their own mistakes, LET them hit rock bottom, and NOT bail them out, no matter how much they whimper or plead. Third World countries are getting used to America’s handouts and have stopped BEGGING and started DEMANDING! Take Haiti–PLEASE! They’re upset that troops stopped thieves from taking all the food, because Americans were giving each person a set ration! How horrible of US decide who gets it and how much!
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:38 am
Our Government–perpetually out of money, even to the point of borrowing from China–has all this money to spend on countries that made–and continue to make–wrong choices, allowing them to CONTINUE making bad decisions, and because they don’t suffer consequences, those decisions must be RIGHT!
Then they get arrogant and start demanding more and more. After all, we’re rich, we CAN afford it, why shouldn’t we? But EVERY Third World looking for a handout wants more, and we CAN”T afford it anymore

i live in a third world country (in the caribbean as a matter of fact) and like most countries the wealth is distributed disproportionately. I’ve read many of your comments and you seem exceptionally educated/intelligent but all your arguments seem to stem from a myopic view point or should i say hidden agenda. America is founded on the backs of immigrants, legal or illegal, and your conclusions show a complete disregard for complicated world issues impacting life opportunities.
April 2nd, 2010 at 10:56 am
because the military is not expected to act like terrorist cells, though im sure you could justify that.
i like certain brands but i dont make excuses for obviously stupid decisions by execs and neither should you.
