Selfish ****

(and some of you thought yesterday was somewhat vitriolic…)

Oh, I forgot. I special mention to Chris Salinas of Philadelphia, USA for managing to reinforce the common stereotype of the American as a self-obsessed, ignorant, uncaring bastard with his comment on the “Have Your Say” page regarding Live 8 and Make Poverty History:

“I work 10 hours a day to feed my family, not Africa”

So just **** those darkies, eh Chris? What have they ever done for you? Chris – answer me this one – why should everyone else in the US work to pay taxes to cover your welfare cheque should you lose that 10-hour-a-day job? Despite the fact that taxation is law, it’s a form of charity. Why the hell shouldn’t you (and everyone else) help people in another country who are a **** load worse off than you?

Sure, you’ve provided drugs etc. (though there’s a load of curruption involved in that and virtually every country doing it is using it as a tax-break while supplying dodgy medication) and you ask why nobody ever mentions this. OK, two reasons:

1) The amount you do give is pitiful compared to what your country could afford. Well, maybe not now that Bush Jr has completely **** on your economy

2) The world is more focussed on your attempts to steal oil from other countries under the guise of “spreading freedom to the oppressed”

Even then, I have to ask myself… why are you so bothered that nobody’s saying how nice you are as a country for donating stuff? Charity is about helping people, not about being the centre of attention for doing it. The giving should be a reward in itself, unless of course you’re a pathetic, attention-seeking moron.

Don’t forget that your whole nation is based on the near-total genocide of am indiginous native culture. I think that pretty much places a huge obligation on you to prevent that happening in other countries.

Regardless, you seem to have missed the point. The whole “Make Poverty History” thing is to raise awareness… not necessarily cash. Nobody’s telling you to put your hand in your pocket. Nobody’s saying you have to give up your wage. They’re simply trying to make the world a better place.

And right now, I’m thinking the place would be a lot better without bigotted, loud-mouthed ***** like you spoiling it. Now get back in your little trailer home with your wife/cousin and your kids with their 6 toes and shut the **** up. Hey, if you want to feel victimised, I’m only too glad to help.
