with little babies still in diapers holding on to daddies hands as they make their way to the shelter?
Well, I have and all I wanted to do was just take the child and give it a home. I live in the USA and I'm all for helping these starving children and what not, but why is so much emphasis put on starving children from other countries? Why in the world can't we help the people right here in our own country first?
I'm not saying it's bad to help people in other countries, I just think that we should do more for our own as well. I think we should have more commercials of starving children in this country. What do you think?

I think it's more of a diplomatic thing. When you help the poor in another country, they are less likely to urge war against you. Supposedly anyway.
Anyway, when I see a homeless family the first thing I think is "Even after I help them, they are still going to die a cold, agonizing death and there is nothing I can do about it." Curses...

It says a lot about a soceity by looking at the truly poor and how eldery are treated. It really chaps my a s s that we send so much aid all over the world and are blind inside our own borders.

It's a way of making you feel sorry for them and give them money. At the end of the day, they'll get into a car and go home.
