Talking

Talking with another friend about the starvation in the world she stated "why do they have so many children?" Another friend, comes from that area, asking him I got told, "Sex is everywhere, they don't have money, What little money they do have, they use for buying food, they can't afford contraceptives, they have a right to live" It's easy, to put the blame on people, blame them and you have a reason, not to help, why help if it's, their fault, It's all too easy for people in the world, to blame each other, Third world cultures blame America, They are rich They should solve our poverty problems their companies create pollution they should stop them they are evil the whole world loves to play The blame game, lets blame each other Why help the unemployed, most of them don't want to work, yet how do you know that, Is that a fact, or just an opinion, Let's make the unemployed , work for their benefit, I've heard that before, and seen the results, an unemployed person, working sixty hours a week, With dreams of getting a job, that he was never going to get, employers abusing people, abusing the system, Cutting costs getting people working, Without paying for their efforts, opinions everybody has one, yet what we need are solutions, people need real jobs, Jobs that lift them, out of poverty, Jobs that give them a future, Teach a man the benefits, and they will want to work, teach people to create success, and your country also succeeds, So much more could be done with commerce rather than charity Charity has people expecting you to solve their problems commerce allows them to solve their own problems people with wages don't need charity The American people Protested to stop pollution If pollution is a problem it's your country make a stand American people, lost their jobs with company's running away, to operate in countries that have less laws, and cheaper wages For their company's, to exist in your country, they have already paid, with the loss of employment. You Blame the American people, for the acts of a few company owners, people that don't care about pollution, people that only care about profit.
