Do They Know It's Christmas. . .

Some facts of holiday cheer to keep in mind as you head to the malls, or E-bay, or wherever you may be buying this years toys, gadgets, and shiny trinkets

Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes--one child every five seconds.

In the time it took you to watch this video.. 46 children died.

Stop.. feel that.. let that sink in .. one little youtube video .. 46 children just died

46 children .. 3minutes 48 seconds divided by 5 seconds 45.6 rounds up to 46

do something .. it's your choice ..

.. so...

go ahead.. buy the new X-Box 360

go.. buy the 52 inch plasma screen TV

go .. buy 5 dollar cups of coffee


go.. spend like there's no tomorrow.. for thousands of children today there won't be

We are just one planet..
we're all here together,
either we can start doing a better job looking out for one another,
and helping our fellow man,
or we had may as well
just give up altogether. . .

As For Me,
I'm not willing to quit just yet..
There has to Be Good Left
in Each and Every One of Us..
We have got to Rise Up Together
and Start to Be here for One Another

No More Greed
Only Compassion


I know our governments are screwing us.. but.. it's US who are screwing ONE ANOTHER... STOP THE GREED HATE, AND ENVY..

May God Bless Us All


More Charity.. More Humanity.


To My Friends,
Family, Co-Workers,
and anyone else so
inclined this year..

Please, in place of buying
any gift to me...
find a charity that feeds
hungry children

or, find a hungry person

donate, time, money
or both to those whose
needs far outweigh my own

I will be just as grateful,
more so really.
do it for Me. . .
do it for Our World

We really are all We have

Merry Christmas
All My Love to
The entire World

Good video. We need to watch this and think about it much more often. And we need to start at home. We need to make sure that ALL Americans are safe, with health care, a roof over their heads, food in their stomach and clothes on their back.

And with the trillions of dollars left over from that operation, we need to reach out to the rest of the needy world and show them how it's done. We're Americans. We can do this in a heartbeat if we want to.

IF WE WANT TO.

thanks. I do watch this often.

I am sure that if "we the people" chose to, we could do this in a heartbeat. but.. to make all the people wake up, give up there 52 inch plasma TVs .. to make all the people wake up and realize that Their Civics Classes in school were all lies.. to make enough people wake up and take back what should have been ours a long time ago .. to make people stand together.. this brother is my fight, my frustration, my pain, and my darkness

as I see it

Peace :):)

So sad... :(((

[rjanis123]

I agree .. I didn't want to make everyone sad, I just think that everyone needs to keep things in mind.. and what I say in the video is true, I'm not exchanging gifts this year, and I'm not accepting any either .. some people have no idea how to take this.. I'm just trying to do My part

Merry Christmas to you :):)

[Stevend2be]

Very true. May ♥ Love ♥ go around the world.

May our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ bless you and all the children in need

Amen,

Steven

My New Friend, I wish all the blessings of our father, may the love of the king of kings be with you.

Merry Christmas

and a joyous prosperous New year

Peace, Love, and Light :):)

[lougarkungfuviseu]

it's sad that the figure of Father Christmas, represented in the capitalist world as someone only takes material gifts to children around the world, and those who have nothing to eat?

they are toys that will satisfy hunger?

this is what we intend to transmit to future generations?

think about it ...

[Samadhiatman500]

Awesome, I am sharing the heck out of this. Happy Holidays my friend.

[scotland0chick]
