I'm gonna let 'em know that Dolemite is back on the scene! I'm gonna let 'em know that Dolemite is my name, and fuckin' up motherfuckers is my game!
I briefly browsed through the article and got the impression that it's not really about a genocide but about illegal immigrants to Thailand who got (are getting?) deported and some die at the sea.
While I don't exactly support them dying or be put in a dangerous situation, if I understood it right, it's not really a genocide. I do agree that they should be deported back to their home country however if they came there illegally or any other country that accepts them.
I quite sure I'm not a sociopath, I care about my friends and family, just not people I don't know.I don't see why I should possibly care that people are getting murdered. It happens all the time in every nation on the planet, and will always happen. Humans are violent and nothing is going to change that. I'm just glad it isn't happening to me.If other human beings are being brutally murdered somewhere else in the world, we should care about that.Well I think the US should stay out of other countries internal affairs, let the UN deal with it. That's one of the reasons that useless organization was made for.While that doesn't necessarily mean that we can get involved and solve all conflicts around the world, we should feel obligated to do as much as we can.
I wouldn't want your help to begin with. Are you from the US? Because if you are, we would most likely both be getting persecuted together
Neither do I.Don't expect myself or anyone else to conform to your sheer imbecilic, sociopathic and myopic views.
I have extreme doubts I'm the only one who doesn't give a fuck about what happens to the people thousands of miles away in Myanmar/Darfur/Syria/Congo/anywhere else potential genocide is happening. Although I can see why someone wants to believe so.The rest of us feel as though we have an obligation to stand up for those who are having their rights violated.
i actually used to care a lot about these sort of things. then i got to an age where my friends and family started being sent over seas to try and 'resolve' the situations, whatever that means i don't even know any more. the hatred towards the west, the US especially, has caused me to not really stop caring. but, i no longer support intervening in any way because it's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. if we send troops, we're imperialistic crusaders (which may not be too far from the truth for our govt). if we don't, then we're all heartless rich bastards, which we definately are not. right now i'd just like to see all of our troops brought home and that money be spent to try and fix the mess in this country. i feel bad for any truely innocent people who suffer, but i just cant support intervening anymore.
I don't see western "democratic" countries lining up in order to provide them an asylum and citizenship. If they don't care, why should Burma government do, or we as well?
It's depressing isn't it. This type of thing has been going for thousands of years and it will continue to for thousands more probably
This.
As an American, I want to help those who are worse off than I am. But when it all backfires and gets thrown back at us, I just have to wonder "Why did we try in the first place?"
There are enough problems in America where all of those billions and billions of dollars could be used to make things better for those that actually helped pay for those billions and billions in the first place.
no oil = no help
Everyone is a master of foreign policy from their desk chair.
Maybe if you plead to the rich and famous enough they will hire a private military firm instead of donating to a McCharity.
While I am empathetic to their plight, there's nothing we can do about it. Since there's nothing we can actually do about it, there's no sense getting in a fuss over it for now.
The bigger issue is making itself readily known though: if you disagree with an opinion, you should be raped or murdered. You can't be altruistic and wish that kind of thing on someone else. It almost makes you as bad as the perpetrators committing the genocides.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
There's a fair number of genocides going on in the world at the moment. Were you aware of the one in Sudan at the moment?
Groups of roving Islamic militia being paid by the Government to slaughter Black Christians living in the Darfur region of the country. Thousands have been killed and tens of thousands displaced into overcrowded refugee camps.
