I wouldn;'t say people have it JUST as bad, last time I checked there were more people dying of starvation, aids & civil war in Africa than in the rest of the world put together

I am really glad that we're talking about this in a civil manner (Not sarcasm, I can't remember when the last time was a debate of any kind went on for more than one post without childish namecalling and accusations). Anyway, I would never send a dime of my money to Africa. Just because I see war veterans who have come back after serving this country who now have nothing. I see homeless people sleeping on the beach and on bus benches in Waikiki every night. Sure, maybe some of them are alcoholics or drug addics that are that way because of their own malfeasance, but it is my belief that once you help people over here who could actually contribute something to society, then eventually others will be better off as well. I mean, so you help some people from Africa, then what? Africa does not really contribute anything to anyone, at least in America people could get back on their feet and get jobs that will produce something that will eventually benefit society. Sorry if I was rambling, it's late here.
