2000 people die a day in sudan, where are the threads about it?
think no kids are dying?
"Despite their public ?resolve? and ?care? for the people of western Sudan, Western governments are allowing more than 2000 hungry and sick Darfuris to die every single day for want of urgently needed food, medicines and shelter. "
my point is simple, hopefully a few of you can grasp it.

My thoughts exactly here.
They get in the news and people care about them because they are white and in Africa, yet the 10 million or so kids that died in the past few years from starvation don't get mentioned anywhere and no one gives a fuck.. 10 million compared to SEVEN.. The sad thing is that for most it is out of sight out of mind.. if it ain't in the news(which black african kids dying left right and center are not) then no one gives a rats ass
That is what is fundementally wrong with the world, and why it is such a shitty place..
