Yemen, worst famine in a century

I take what the Biased Broadcasting Corporation says with a pinch of salt.

The BBC - A Biased Broadcasting Corporation

BBC is not always right and a little corrupted but they're pretty wide ranging. So it does inform the public of a lot.

Compassion is as compassion does, I guess. All the compassion in Kansas won't feed a single Yemeni child. You probably should do everything within your power to help the problem before you judge the intentions of others.

When you make jokes about people dying, that speaks volumes.

BTW, some of us do contribute to charities to help innocent victims in foreign lands.

So that lets you off the hook, or empowers you to criticize others concerning their feelings on this (or any other) matter?

Ya, I guess some of us here at RF feel that morals are pretty important. After all, this is Religious Forums, BSM1.

And some seem to value self-righteousness as a virtue...just sayin'.

It's better than the garbage we have in America, which is all for profit.

Ya, you can say whatever you want by blaming the "messenger", but making a joke about thousands of innocent people dying in Yemen is simply sick on almost any moral standard one may choose.

BTW, one teaching in Buddhism is that we should treat each person as if they were our own mother, so would you have used such "humor" if, heaven forbid, your own innocent mother was killed in Yemen? Maybe think about it.

I could say the same about you. And obviously you never met my mother; not all mothers are 'innocent' or saintly. This is where you wind up when you make assumptions about people you know nothing, or very little, about.
