SP4: A cilling Reminder...May 16th, 2008 - 22:19:25

This is what toalitarians do to their own people.

What do you think China, N. Korea, Venezuela, Cuba and Zimbabwe would do to others?

If you blatantly deny aid to the stricken, isn't that a crime against humanity?

'What do you think China, N. Korea, Venezuela, Cuba and Zimbabwe would do to others?'

... the same thing the U.S. did to the American Indians, or perhaps they are kinder, but I doubt they are worse.

'If you blatantly deny aid to the stricken, isn't that a crime against humanity?'

In the old days it was called: thriftiness and responsibility.

In these new days charity is:

(a) Religious power: An avenue for christian power and used as an excuse for even the most heinous of crimes. How many times have I heard: But look how much charity we give out, you should not convict us because we mass rape children (direct reference to the catholic church) because then we would not be able to fulfill our mission.

(b) Foreign policy: You will let us in and provide for your people you stupid foreigners that do not know how to take care of yourself.

(c) Military infiltration: We carry food, not rifles. We feed your people, not kill them. Question: What is that rifle on your shoulder for? Answer: You ignorant slut, we are feeding you, now shut up.

(d) Welfare stupidity: It is OK to live below sea level because we will insulate you from your own stupidity as long as you vote for us and obey us.
