  • I live in England and ppl are so ignorant and notoriously ungrateful for the things they have.Ppl here cry over anything and everything! Here we have a world, were people sleep and breath death daily. Out of nothing they still managed to hold a smile on there faces,,This story inspired me and i hope ppl will not be so judgemental and open their minds and eyes to undertand that there's a big world out there!

  • Ignorance is all over the world. I hate it and can't stand it, when it comes to race, sexuality, upbrining...I hate it. I love all kinds of people.

    I am HAPPY because South Sudan is now free of the barbaric oppression of the Arabs from the north. It is going to be the 54th country of Africa. CHEERS!!!!

    Finally better times have come and we can all look up to the future with hope in our hearts ^__^
