Stupid Monkeys, Who Cares about the Middle East

Post by Hickory Stick »

http://www.the-eggman.com/writings/death_stats.html

Statistics on death in the U.S of A. More die yearly from driving then die in the Middle East conflict. So what, the world is a f**ked up place ran by Multi National companies.

A couple in the middle of drought stricken Africa who can't feed themselves have twelve kids, all of the kids starve because the parents can't feed them. Thousands of smokers die in Canada each year, and the governmant still lets the Tobacco companies operate. Some dude takes a flying job and works for free. The vatican and its subsidiaries rake in hundreds of millions each year and people are starving.

Who cares! People are dumb! The world is a screwed up place.

This video should put everything in perspective:

I don't understand why everyone is focusing on the Middle East so much, who gives a s**t. Its all about perspective.

Cheers

Smokers don't have rockets or even automatic weapons, and don't make for exciting seven seconds news bites. Remember, the media's job is to entertain, not to transfer factual information.

I whole-heartedly agree with you that most people are quite stupid, though. Remember, the average IQ is 100, so by definition half of the unwashed masses are mouthbreathers with two-digit IQ's, which explains why the Liberals keep getting so many votes :wink:

As wierdo as it may sound for you and if you have set a foot in Africa for one second, you would have known that for them:
Children=wealth ....

As for us wealth would be something like $$$$, a nice familly, a good health, good job, etc...

Two subjects that are sure to get you into trouble: Religion and Politics. However, I liked that Vatican comment. The Catholic Church is the most successful BUSINESS of all time. I've been there a handful of times. The first time it seems beautiful.....the second time it seems O.K. and the third and fourth and fifth time your dismayed to see where all the money gets exhausted.

I want to die like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers...
