u know how people talk about helping others and doing charities and foundations?
i want to talk about my opinion of these.. ok for the record i have nothing against any form of helping people but i just want to point out that to me personally.. it seems like too much emphasis is placed on helping children people always say children are our future and they promote various children funds.. but to me i feel like at least some of those should be directed at adults.. in my opinion, helping kids is nice and u may do some good but it seems limited.. it seems to me like u should instead really help an adult get a leg up so they can properly provide for their kids help adults to pay for their college expenses so they can get a job.. if they start getting bad grades then revoke their money or just buy a single mom a car so she can stop taking the bus all the time or just pay for medical care for a family or how about just get a family out of debt these are the things that plague and follow people.. they inhibit progress and stunt growth of people.. these are the things that cause stress and the pressure tempts people to give in to things they wouldn't normally give in to such as drugs or abuse of children or even just something small like overeating if u help the parents u automatically help the kids (as long as the parent is sane) helping kids is cool but it seems to me that its more like a temporary solution, whereas if u helped a single mom secure decent housing and a car then u change the landscape of that family's life for years to come another issue i have with giving is when people donate to AIDS foundations.. there's nothing too wrong with this but its not at all balanced i read statistics on what people give to AIDS and (it was a long time ago) if i remember correct, AIDS research gets the highest amount of funding.. cancer is number 2 however my problem with this is that AIDS is 100% preventable.. people with AIDS (with the exception of babies) all knew they ran a risk of getting it.. so why would u put so much effort into something that's preventable u see what i'm saying? like what about cystic fibrosis? or diabetes.. and those are off the top of my head but i am probably not even scratching the surface of diseases that are more imperative than AIDS.. what about all these other diseases and ailments that we don't understand? diseases that aren't preventable.. we don't know where they come from, how to treat them, or how to soften their blow.. yet AIDS gets all these commercials and that whole "red" campaign, and this and that as if its the only disease/ailment/virus/syndrome (whatever u want to call it) that matters i actually kinda resent the attention it gets just because people would rather do anti-AIDS than pro-self control like people get gonorrhea and they say.. dang i should've been more careful.. they don't say "i'm going to go on a crusade for safe sex! ..i'm going to do a great gonorrhea awareness campaign!" having AIDS doesn't make u some sort of new age martyr.. it likely just means u were doing something u shouldn't have and u got pwned for it.. and that's not to sound insensitive i'm just being real.. it goes for all of us.. if i go out and bang some chick then i could get AIDS too u feel me? the rules apply to everyone again.. people would rather do anti-AIDS than pro-self control and that irks me.. but to be honest its probably just because AIDS IS IN FACT SO PROFITABLE.. if i go out and speak on self control, would people support that the same way they support the notion of "safe sex" ? probably not but whatever.. just wanted to get these thoughts off my chest
