Hunger

[falcon9]

Every day thousand of people in this country are going hungry and not I don't see anyone or any other country helping them.  Why not take care of our own first and make sure no child or adult go to bed hungry.  Than help other countries.  Why not this country help stop the wars in the streets every day when we have thousands dying each day because of guns before we go fight other countries wars.  This country too busy helping everyone around the world but their own people.

Apparently, this country needs to improve the English writing skills of its semi-literate religious leaches before helping other countries as well.

Its unnatural.The bible calls it an enemy and it is.We have all lost loved ones.That in itself proves it by the grief we go thru.

Death isn't natural? It's part of life though.

glad to hear you rescue animals.I love them especially dogs.The amount of child abuse that goes on in this world is sickening.What i meant for you was if we all can do a something even if it helped 1 child it would be worth the effort...the same even with animals.

Total agreement here.

I am from NY...ILL eh?I am a big Bears fan.We are playing in a few minutes and i will have game on...they are tough this yr so far.

I'm unfortunately not much of a big sports fan, but I watch occasionally. Perhaps it's just that the majority of IL sports teams treat their fans like battered housewives-- even though they keep getting beaten, they keep coming back for more bad treatment! lol

Its my perception of how they come across when usually the mud slinging starts and even that gets us nowheres.

Well not to point fingers but you are usually the cause of much of the mudslinging. But some advice I would like to give is it's all in how you read the post. Since there's no tone in text, it's important to read someone elses post with no preconceived tone unless it's extremely obvious. Also understand that people here are attacking your stances on an issues initially and not your personal well-being.

Anyway keep up the work rescuing the animals.Id like to say they are a gift from God to us but that might turn into a debate...LOL!!

I'll go as far as to say if there were a legitimate argument for the existence of a kind deity, it would no doubt be through an argument involving dogs and people! lol

Falconer2 if you ever go to a wake or a funeral where loving parents tragically lost a child,go up to the parents and tell them death is natural and a part of life.

You might be looking to save your own if you did that.

My Bears lost the other nite and Cutler <qb>got hurt.I dont root for any other Ill teams...im a NYer but i love the Bears.

How many people believe that we should take care of the hunger in the US before we go abroad and help the hungry all over the world?

I am not saying that our nation should not help, but look at all the hunger in the US. I worked at a Head start program and the meals we served there were the only real meal some of our children got to eat. That is why we would let them have as much as they wanted.

yeah..i agree, but who are we talking about? if you need foodstamps swallow your pride,or get wic,or go to the foodbank...missionaries from several churches also help people in the us and outside the us...example hurricane sandy victims. but the us has always helped others like a codependent mommy what do u expect?

I definitely believe that the United States needs to help out their own citizens because we have many that fall under poverty and hunger. I think they don't do so because they want to be friendly with other countries to improve trade. Also, the way those other countries starve is much more massive than the United States.

Deep down they would probably already know this, but I'm sure nobody would want to hear this in that situation so I'm not sure why you'd even suggest this.

Were I to speculate about such an inquiry, the logical extrapolation leads to the conclusion that jw fundies hold the superstitious belief that physical death is somehow as 'unnatural' as the non-physical 'death' of an ability to reason at the metaphorical 'hands' of blind faith.

Because of your foolish quote that death was part of life

How about, 'life is part of death' - very profound, nyet?

Because of your foolish quote that death was part of life

How is that foolish? It's factual. Would you rather me reword it? "People die and they cease to be. It is the end of life."

The response is a superstitious belief in zombies, sans factual evidence?  That's beyond foolish; it's manifestly irrational.  Zombie apocalypse indeed.

Not everyone looks at death the same way though. Sure it sucks, but some good comes of it. That's a whole discussion in itself!

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."
"I've never killed a man, but I've read many an obituary with a great deal of satisfaction."
-Mark Twain

Though I see how you conclude this, JW's actually believe that there will one day be a paradise earth where people will live forever and no pain can come from it. But, obviously, that creates a ton of realistic problems in itself that we could have a field day with.

It's still a zombie pseudo-hypothesis, (in that it isn't testable and relies entirely upon religious belief/faith, sans evidence).  Has Walking Dead not taught us anything?  "Twice in the head assures the zombies are dead."

That is true. I like the simplicity of Zombie Land's "Double Tap" rule!

(Edit: I like how talking about world/nation hunger probs has gotten so far off that we're talking about zombies)

Very apropos video!   As for the subject matter juxtapositioning; that's apropos too - on more than one level, (given the religious contentions of 'rising from the dead' and hungry 'zombies').
