Thank You! Thank You! We are very bless to have wonderful human beings like you!

You get the feeling that what environmentalism -really- is is a less expensive, more efficient, wiser series of improvements that actually take us back to a better time in human history when our relationship with God's Creation was mutually beneficial rather than abusive.

Humanity went a little crazy for a few decades. It's time to return to our roots.

The whole world used to look like a national park.

It can again.

@sohc287 Yeah screw people who try to help the poor. Hate hate hate, war war war, greed greed greed.

Also, those deluded white women are just asking to get raped living in that slum.

There is no way the compost pile reaches a high enough temperature to destroy all of the bacteria and parasites.

@Sizzleburger In 1876, the committee adopted the name "International Committee of the Red Cross" (ICRC), which is still its official designation today. Five years later, the American Red Cross was founded through the efforts of Clara Barton

My Comment - Part 2: Unfortunately, most victimizers don't want to understand this. I hope people continue to donate to Haiti. It needs help desperately. Say "NO" to religion and corruption. Say "YES" to humanitarianism.

My Comment - Part 1: Don't worry. The US will not become socialist anytime soon because of greedy people like you. Socialism is a good thing, but you're too greedy to understand this. You justify your greed by saying the US needs too much so that it can give it where it is needed. Unfortunately, the truth is, the US is prosperous because it exploits people to no end. Prosperity can exist without exploiting.

@Sizzleburger well thanks for your concern. I graduated from high school and I'm now experiencing socialism first hand by receiving financial aid for college. I'm still taking classes since last year. I've been looking for a job too, but have not found one. What kind of struggles did the young adults that you used to help have?

[Sizzleburger]

I'm sorry about your situation- did you get a chance to graduate or are you a Senior in high school? I used to help young adults like you get a higher education- have you had a chance to look into that so you can be in a different situation than your parents?

[Sizzleburger]

The bottom line is, what are YOU doing to help others around the world with the resources you were given? I, with my family and church, helped start a feeding program in Africa, helped build a school for orphans in Mexico, built a home for homeless, etc. and not because I'm a good person, but I just feel so blessed living in this country that I want to give at least a little back what I've been given. We shouldn't waste time arguing- take our time DOING.

Clara Barton, an American, was the founder of the Red Cross and it was officially founded in Washington D.C. in 1881, after a trip from Switzerland where she saw something similiar.Clara was a Christian, by the way. The United states gave 314 BILLION dollars in aid around the world- more than other countries!There are many Christian organizations that give aid, only one is in the top five, if you add them all together, it is the Christian organizations that give the most aid.
