  •  Statistics state that the Average American before the age of 80 watches how may months of TV???The average American watches 96 months -  8 years of TV by the age of 80….10% of your life may be spent sitting down, in front of a box with moving images…


    ·        In Africa, children are starving to death because of malnutrition due to Government corruption and lack of funds…  children are also recruited in guerilla warfare where people are killed so Americans can have diamonds. 



    ·      In Philippines, I had kids run up to my window with no teeth begging for money. 


    ·In Indonesia, I saw a girl who simply broke her leg, yet did not have enough medical attention, so it became infected and hindered her from ever walking again.


    ·In TJ, we saw tons of orphans with bare minimam care.  hard-knock life is more than a song.  its reality. 


    ·In Oaxaca, I’ve seen a woman’s hair falling out because of lack of nutrition.


    ·In Third World countries, hundreds of thousands of young girls sell their bodies in order to live. 


    ·In India, Parents maim and cut off their child’s limbs in order that they may receive more money when begging from the tourists.


    ·All over the world, teenagers work like slaves in poor conditions all day long and through the night in factories that produce name brand clothing that we cherish so much.  For the more than 1 billion people living on less than $1 a day — one of every six people worldwide — health services and modern medicines are out of reach. And many initiatives that tried to improve the health of people in extreme poverty have failed.


    ·S. Korea, Domestic Violence > Ranked 2nd in the world.  SHAME on US.  now you know why Ssang bang wool manufactures millions of wifebeaters...


    ·S. Korea, H.S. Students Study from 7am to 5pm…HS Seniors go to school at 6am and come home at 10pmEVERYDAY their entire Senior Year…


    ·In North Korea…what are you doing as a teenager… Working, studying, and if your family is poor… like most in N. Korea, You’re starving to death.  oh and you're forced to believe that Kim Jong IL is a god and if you go against him you can go to prison or die.



    ·All around the world, teenagers are slaving away, working their lives for measly wages, some are starving to death, all while  we watch 8 years of TV.   


    -   what a world... what a world.

    anyone that complains they don't have enough material possessions in America is a selfish, whining, ignorant idiot.   we all get like that without knowing it.  i have to constantly remind myself daily to thank God for blessings.   every day's a gift.   life's about giving & the selfish become ugly. 


     


    the most attractive people are those who are constantly giving.
