Philanthropy

Someone had complained to me about getting a C+ in chemistry the other day. I thought she should of been ashamed. There are villages in Somalia that could live off a C+ for an entire year. Some are so impoverished that they don't have access to any of the alphabet and must resort to only making clicking noises.

Funny post. I always thought the starving children argument so popular with parents was pretty weak. I mean, why the hell are you forcing food on somebody who doesn't want it if there are people who desperately want it in Africa? Then, as families with young children are generally pretty totalitarian in structure, that kind of logic doesn't really get you anywhere.
