[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3019990, member: 9374"] What do we do when 10's or 100's of thousands are dying, when children are quite literally physically starving to death and the entire country has become a war zone? And when this happens in America's own backyard and the entire world is standing up and screaming at us to help, and how could we let this happen, and all the other things that go with it? Does America stand by and let people starve to death needlessly to make a political point? I'm not advocating for one thing or another here, I'm asking - for realz, people, what do we do? Would you sit on your comfortable porch in a rocker, eating watermelon and drinking sweet Southern iced tea while you watched your 80-year old neighbor fall on her driveway and let her sit there and suffer with a broken hip until she died of exposure? Or watch small children sit there and suffer and starve in filth and excrement because their parents were meth heads and you didn't want to get involved? What would you do for your neighbors? And what should we do for people in the next town over? Or in the next state/area of the country with a natural disaster? Americans help. That's traditionally what we have tried to do, or at least it seems that way to me. That's what I thought of America growing up. Have our goals/morals/designs changed that much? [/QUOTE]
