Ok.. first I would like to say that I am a compassionate person but I turned it off for a moment just to give some cold hard facts and ask some questions..
War is inevitable.. People do it and even animals do it.. Sorry to say it's in our blood and it always will be..
12,617 from 20th March 2005 to 1st March 2006 died in the Iraq war..
40,000 people died in the same time period from snake bites.
Am I saying to kill snakes? NO. Just showing you how the media gets you all worked up.
Fact is over population is the biggest killer in the world... considering that.. Is helping people in areas that can't sustain the population in that area really helping or in the long run really cruel? maybe we got it all backward, who knows.
Consider this.. The worlds population was growing a an unsustainable rate before there were doctors, foreign help, and the average life span was 25.
So my question is. Should we really be working on way's to sustain life or ways to let people have a more respectable death?
As I once heard from what I thought was a heartless statement..
The only people that are hurt when someone is gone are the people they left behind.. Could it be that wanting someone in pain not to die being greedy?
Ok I turned my compassion back on now and it may be wrong but I am for saving life...
