<p>If you want to be involved in Darfur, then I’d suggest you join the United States Marine Corp. Our military is stretched too thin and we don’t need to commit ourselves to Africa when we have more than 100,000 troops in Iraq.</p>
<p>Remember what happened in Mogadishu? It ain’t pretty out there. Those guys fight with the same fanaticism as the Jihadists.</p>
<p>Liist, you are in your own category… (why you’re being compared to AOM is beyond me).
I agree completely regarding Mogadishu.</p>
<p>and whoever actually thinks wasting food is a good idea? What kind of discussion can we actually have?</p>
<p>
And here is where I disagree. We cannot simply walk in to a good chunk of these countries without war being declared.
We have more than enough problems here at home to work on, imo.</p>
<p>just so you guys know… Australia is now the worlds fattest country… not USA =p</p>
<p>^ but at least the united nations should be more involved, if not the US itself.</p>
<p>the same solution can go against what liist said. the united nations, even though it’s helping, should make at least one or two of the genocides in africa as top priority.</p>
<p>we can’t just let people die like that…jeezes =_=</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agree with both. It is very generous and very thoughtful to want our country to act for the “betterment” of other nations. Unfortunately, it’s not reality. A couple of years ago, we (America) and the European Union (through the UN) tried to send military aid to Darfur. </p>
<p>You know what the president of Sudan said? He said he wouldn’t allow it because he doesn’t want a “new colonization”. </p>
<p>Yah. We don’t need more problems.</p>
<p>If enough of us eat at Outback Steakhouse, we’ll retake that prize.</p>
<p>^ that’s why you use harsher terms. why not sanction nations like sudan until the aid is monitored by the UN and gets where it needs to get? why not pressure them?</p>
<p>^Because that would be declaring war.</p>
<p>And we don’t have the money for it, nor the troops.</p>

<p>edit: gahhhh. this is directed at asian sensation, one post down.
blasted post switching.</p>
<p>We’re pretty much between a rock and a hard place on this issue. It’s really up to the Sudanese government but they’re not doing ****.</p>

<p>People blame everything on the Jews!</p>
<p>What’s next, blame the Jews for killing all those innocent Africans?</p>
<p>Reality is always ridiculous.</p>
<p>sanction the sudanese government! i bet the ones committing the darfur genocide definitely have connections with the government..which refuses the UN aid</p>
<p>that’s why the UN should start pressuring sudan more..</p>
<p>I have a totally rad plan for Americans to slim down:</p>
<p>1) Subsidize fresh foods, while banning trans fats.
2) Develop a competent mass transit system, complete with subways, bus access for all, and high-speed trains. This is not only environmentally-friendly, but it encourages people to walk to transit stops.
3) Charge a fee to use elevators in buildings.
4) Give tax breaks to restaurants that serve only low-calorie and small-portion meals.
5) Take canned/processed out of school lunches.
6) Implement a siesta-like schedule in the workplace. This gives people more time to exercise and take care of their health.</p>
<p>This really just puts together a bunch of things from other countries, but I think they would work in the US.</p>
<p>Or how about we make it socially acceptable to ridicule fat people for being such a health hazard. We can do it to smokers, why not obese people?</p>
<p>^Because you aren’t directly affected by secondhand obesity. There are studies that show that people who are together frequently have similar eating habits, but that’s not quite the same as inhaling someone else’s unfiltered cigarette smoke.</p>
<p>Mcdonalds FTW!!</p>
<p>I love you number 2 (Quarter-Pounder), I love you so much, get in my belly!</p>
<p>I, too, love McDonalds. </p>
<p>I know, it has 600 calories, but nothing, nothing beats a sausage McMuffin with egg. </p>
<p>Nothing. </p>
<p>McDonalds is cheap and beyond delicious. ;)</p>
<p>lose weight feel great</p>
