i dont understand why we help other countries when we cant even help ourselvs. i saw in the news that a kid died because of a tooth infection that went to his brain. his mom couldnt afford to help him or even basic insurence.
that is crazy. we have so many homless people out there...
im not saying i dont believe in helping others but i think we have concerns here at home to be worried about first.

alot of the problems at home arent that we dont offer enough, its that we allow too many to take advantage of a system that is poorly regulated and administered.

theres too many freeloaders on our systems currently thats where there is such a issue.

he died because the mother was neglecting her son. just b/c you dont have insurance or coverage doesnt mean that you cant take your kid to the hospital.

its actually free health coverage for the poor so she has no excuse.

keep your canadian ass outta this...


i know exactly what your arguments will be on this.

yes i realize a large portion of the governments reasoning behind donating money is that they have their own personal interests and stakes in the regions but thats not my point.

my point is they all want us to mind our own business...so lets show them what our reasoning for sticking our noses and spending money is by not doing it for a year....show them how fast areas would descend into chaos without our presence

and "too pro-american"? i am american wtf should i be? pro canadian or pro chinese? fuck no, damn straight im pro - american

oh and yea nowhere did i say we do it because we are charitable... i just said we should stop butting in like that want, which means stop giving them the aid they recieve
