I think this video is suppose to make people want to help the poor and appreciate what they have and whatever....
I just loved the sheer volume of statistics.

I know "humanitarian" is the only truly bad word around here, but you really don't look at that and see anything at all more than the statistics? Or are you just joking?

Mmmm... the number of religious people was fairly depressing.
As for the poverty, it isn't like it is a new problem or anything but no one has really proposed any solutions that would work. So far communism was the last idea and look how well that worked. It's counterproductive to get depressed over something that you really can't change.

Meaningful change comes in degrees and happens very slowly. You have a depressingly defeatist attitude. However statistically irrelevant, every little bit of effort is something. It has substance and it has purpose. I suggest you actually see with your own eyes some of the places on Earth that are unimaginable to you from the point of view of your own upbringing. You don't have to feel bad for having been born into the circumstances you were, but turning your back like this before you've even gotten to experience a few more of the many different realities that people live with in the world is rather cowardly.

I’m not sure if this is disturbing, hilarious, disturbingly hilarious, hilariously disturbing or all of the above, but well…I think you all need to see it.

This has got to be a joke.

Some poverty is inevitable. Like people who live in an area with absolutely no natural resources or infrastructure are bound to be impoverished. Capitalism is by no means perfect but no one has yet to come up with a better alternative.

Sorry for the double post, it is not letting me edit.
End: I hope that video is a joke but some people are genuinely fucked in the head. If someone is crazy enough to believe in Scientology then I'm sure someone out there is crazy enough to believe that about Brittney.
