Need a mini rant

[sweet_lil_rach]

Now, I'm seeing several people on my facebook copying this into their statuses at the moment

"Shame on you ENGLAND !!!!!! the only country where we have the homeless without shelter, children going to bed without eating,the elderly going without needed meds and heating, and mentally ill without treatment - yet we donate £50 million to the people

It's painful, isn't it? Your own friends or family saying things that are considered 'idiocy' - FB has been nothing but a pain for me.. made me feel like trash, most of the time. So I left it! I'm never going back there again. Just thinking of going there to delete my accounts kinda irk me. I don't really want to see any updates from them again.. *hugs*

I've never been a 'charity begins at home' kind of person anyway, though I can appreciate the sentiment. But I think that very concept goes out the window when there's a national disaster and people need help right now. It could be worse though. They could be Nick Griffin (the BNP douche) who actually said: "Sending aid to rioting ingrates while our own people die is stinking elite hypocrisy." And he actually gets people to vote for him.

I wish I could say I continue to be surprised at how stupid people are.

I feel the same way when I see my friends joing stupid groups, like the anti-minaret ones. UGH, it's so unpleasant to find out your friends can be so looney!

that is really frustrating. i will admit that i'm a bit annoyed now with still being asked to donate as i've already done my part, but still. i've been in england for 7 months and you guys treat your people pretty damn well if i say so myself - and i'm from canada! so that's saying a lot.

oh people and their facebooks - so effing annoying sometimes.
