Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just tried to donate twice via the DEC website and it's come back with an error message both times; guess the Red Cross might be easier to donate through. I'd have no problem with the UN sending troops, or whomever, to deal with Al-Kebab. I can't help but think of Sierra Leone, and I've no idea if Al-Shabaab's forces are comparable in size and organisation to the rebels in that case, but if there were a possibility of blasting them out via force it should be considered, unless they acquiesce immediately to the needs of Aid groups and any attempts to help those suffering.

Billy Castell 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Rich/rising/failed states should not get aid. So stop sending aid to China, Brazil and Somalia. Somalia is a lawless craphole where food will be stolen by pirates, terrorists and the like and given out to their supporters. I wish we could save all the starving people, but the good intentions are often hijacked and ruined by the cunts and warlords who rule the place.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 tbh, on today of all days, when millions of stars are slowly dying in the universe through no fault of their own, I'm struggling to drum up sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
