From Temi, on Wed, 14 Mar 2001 23:26:04 GMT (in response to: who cares)
I can't believe some of the things you people are saying? How can you possibly not care? These people were born into poverty with nothing! Can't you get that through your thick skulls?! And for you people who are saying" Why are they wearing clothes ? Why don't they use that money to buy food?" What kind of a dumb ass question is that? Have some compassion. You need to understand that they have nothing. Don't ask why they smile if they're poor: THEY'RE CHILDREN! The only way that they can get out of their miserable situation is through reproduction. If you thought logically instead of making hideous comments, then you would realize that if they have a lot of children, then maybe some of the children would become successful and have a better life. Why would you not care? I sit here and I tear because there's really nothing that I can do for those innocent children but I STILL CARE! I'm just baffled at some of you people and I really don't know what to say to the ones that don't care. Maybe if you were in their situation, then you would know. And you know what I've noticed? That each and every person that has made a condescending remark about people in poverty haven’t left their screen name. Cause you're all too afraid of what people might say to you cause you know that's it's wrong and utterly callous. I just hope that one day realize how ridiculous you appeared cause I'm only 14 and if u sounded dumb to me and you're older than me, then you've got a major problem that you need to deal with. Next time, think bout what you say before you say it and think about the significance of it.
