fun fact - if you make more than 32,000 a year you are a 1 percenter of the world.
i was recently inspired listening to a podcast featuring mma fighter justin wren. he donates his time helping to teach the pygmies how to drill wells in africa. the world need more people like him, i truly admire what he is doing.
if our tax dollars were spent efficiently we would have more than enough to help others. unfortunately i can't trust any government entity to disperse my tax money wisely. i donate to united way which helps locally, as far as globally, i wonder how i can donate and know that my donation is going where it needs to go.

How about one of those friendly Muslim nations provide some relief. ...
Because it never helps Out to rebuild a country after bombing it. they never learn if you fix things back for them. And also Screw them. it was their fault for drawing attention to their country. the US has enough problems to solve at home instead of over seas where they would never appreciate any help given.

Exactly how it should be. Take pride and responsibility for your nation. And stop relying on Aid from other countries. Rebuilding Iraq was a mistake.
Terrorist mentality there, congrats.

They're muslims..... who cares, let'em starve. I enjoy the thought of every, single muslim parent watching their child wither away into nothing. I relish the the notion of their world of despair.
Where islam goes..... tears follow..... mothers cry and fathers weep.
Good times are always just a conquest away.. it's always some nonmuslim country is the fault of the muslim worlds ills.
Nope.... I celebrate their misery and wish them and over abundance of death in all its many forms. Let them learn to celebrate their own deaths as they do when its a sleeping Jewish child or a baby being pushed in a stroller.
Maybe someday they will rethink their religious principles and I will have my reason to change my opinion....but today aint that day
Washington Post deputy editorial page editor Jackson Diehl took a massive, human rights-violating catastrophe—the US-assisted Saudi bombing of Yemen for the past two-and-a-half years, and the massive famine it’s caused—and somehow turned it into a write-up on how good and noble the United States is. Diehl cynically whitewashed the US’s role in the crisis and turned Saudi Arabia’s primary defender in the Senate, Lindsey Graham, into an unsung hero—a true masterwork in public relations reality inversion.
Diehl framed the topic as something both public and media have ignored, insisting, “No One Is Paying Attention to the Worst Humanitarian Crisis Since World War II” (6/25/17). This is a bold rhetorical gambit, not least because Diehl himself hasn’t made Yemen a topic of an article since the bombing first began in February 2015. “No one’s noticing this thing I just noticed” is a great way to frame oneself as a moral visionary, without the arduous work of ideological coherence.
Not only does Diehl ignore the US’s role in supplying arms, giving logistical supporting and even facilitating torture on behalf of Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen (a complicity so deep the US State Department itself warned the US could be liable for war crimes), he actually writes, “the United States is not the problem here.”
