Do you all get as pissed off as me listening to some of the idiots who

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

call into C-Span? Man, I could have ripped the throat out of some ____ who called in this morning! The subject was the tsunami and the relief efforts. She was talking about how she saw something on Dateline or Nightline or one of those shows maybe a year ago about how in Thailand they have a child sex slave industry, so the tsunami obviously is G-d's way of punishing them for this!? WTF!!!

:nuke:

1. They're out there...

Don't let them get to you. There aren't that many of them. They are just mouthier than normal people.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

4. They just blow my mind is all. Thanks for listening.

[politicaholic]

11. Your logo is cool. I saw one in my synagogue's parking lot that said

"Gefilte' inside. :)

[jellybelly]

2. If something like this happened in the US

she would blame it on gays and liberals...ignore these people, if a tradegy happens anywhere in the world they think it's god's way of making you repent.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

6. Such a 'compassionate conservative' eh?

[qnr]

3. So, let me get this straight... It has been going on for decades,

and G-d didn't know anything about it until some American TV show brought it up, and then it took him a year to actually get around to responding? Why, was he busy sending hurricanes against Florida or something?

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

8. For real!

Then there are the assholes who were saying, "Why don't we take care of our own backyard?" Umm.. what, like your president is doing, sir?

Last time I checked, when we were hit on 9/11, I didn't hear many nations whining and saying that (that wasn't meant to sound like a 'freeper' thing to say; more like something I'd put back in his face, you know?).

Thank G-d I'm a Democrat. I will never let any freeper on TV or otherwise try to say we don't stand for something. We stand for caring, unselfishness and MORALS.

7. Did she point out the customers are White Amercian Bussniess Men

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

9. Someone suggested the money being spent on the inauguration go to

Thailand. I agreed, of course. Then some schmuck called in and said, 'In response to that lady who said the Inauguration should be cancelled, maybe she should take 'personal responsibility' and donate some money herself.' Um, like maybe she has. I'm sure that putz won't. Freeper madness, I tell ya!

My hubby donated to the Red Cross today. I need to do so myself. Grrrrr.........

[Florida_Geek]

10. Well not really

12. I started a thread in which I wondered if any musician has thought of

organizing a benefit concert, a la The Concert for Bangladesh or Live Aid?

[jonnyblitz]

14. somebody started a thread and said the band Linkin Park was.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

16. Very cool!

[bahrbearian]

13. I know and Europeans . Its a problem brought in from the West.

It doesn't make Thailand evil , we do.

[jellybelly]

17. Why are some countries

susceptible to the sex trade?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. poverty. extreme poverty.

and women that rich white men find attractive.

[jellybelly]

20. I know poverty is a cause

but when I think about India...'sex trade' doesn't come to mind.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. well we have plenty of sex trade within the country

its just that americans dont fly into india to have sex.

which is why i say that part of the reason is that rich americans need to find the women of that country attractive as well.

also war plays a big role in creating sex industry, india has NO american troops...(thank someone for small mercies)

"The enorous scale of Thailands sex industry today is largely a result of the American War in Vietnam. In the 1960s US Military bases began to proliferate in Thailand, and many young women were induced into the sex industry by their families and profiteers, as the high demand of US servicemen coalesced with the needs of Thailands impverished villages - eventualy leading to the acceptance of prostitution as a source of income for young women. By the time the war ended in 1976, sex-industry establishments had expanded across the county and tourism was promoted in order to gain foreign exchange. thailand was advertised to male foreign tourists as a place where they could indulge in sexual services, while at the same time it remained coomon for Thai men to visit brothels. Thus commercial sex became a huge business in Thailand, and quickly evolved into a well- organized industry supported by poerfull entities."

19. Poverty ? No, its because they are evil.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. lol!
