There are many countries that for whatever reason do not have the resources or means to provide things many of us take for granted like clean water, are they any less deserving because they do not live in our country?

i hate to be the one to say this, but it's not America's job to fix other countries...we have things here that desperately need fixing and we can't do that if we're overseas solving someone else's problems.

Even in the US there are people who don't have clean water, food, homes, ect. How can we take care of other's if we can't even take care of our own? Plus the reality is our nation is in debt. I dont know about anyone else but when I am debt I don't loan money out or worry about anyone elses household but mine.

I totally hear what you are saying DIS and yes, we have the same problems in Australia however for me I believe that everyone's life is of value no matter where they live so I struggle with the idea that we should primarily focus just on those in our own county.

I fully admit that this attitude of mine if maybe a little more fervent today because I went to a celebration of Buddha's birth so maybe feeling a little more all-inclusive than usual.

And just off track for a smidge.... yes our nations are in debt and it would start a bun fight in this thread to explore the things that governments put as a priority for spending money on rather than housing and healthcare.

Yep I am still agreeing with you. And if the governments were spending the majority of their budget on healthcare, housing, education etc it would be fantastic however so much of it goes on other things which means that they are not helping people overseas AND they are not helping the people in their own country.

Then perhaps we ought to stop illegally invading them and occupying them, and creating war torn clusterfucks that we have to deal with?
