    Angry Vultures! F#%KING Vultures!

    RANT OF MAJOR PROPORTION Beware this is disturbing.

    I am going to share this with you guys, then rant.


    Have a close look at the photograph, its our moral duty to be concerned...towards humanity; take care...






    Kevin Carter


    This was found in his diary ,

    Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.

    I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.

    Please don't break.. keep on forwarding to our friends On this good day. Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere any place around the globe and send this friendly reminder to others Think & look at this...when you complain about your food and the food we wasted daily........




    I am really pissed off at this. What kind of man would leave a child in this condition to die of starvation when the UN camp is only 1 kilometre away! He just drove away and left him there! %$*%%^#$#^&(%$^ what a complete bastard!
    I AM GLAD HE KILLED HIMSELF, I AM GLAD THAT HE AT LEAST SUFFERED SOMEWHAT FOR THIS DISGUSTING ACT OF CRUELTY TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. IF HE HADN'T I WOULD HAVE HAPPILY DONE IT FOR HIM!

    He could never have suffered enough to even come close to what that child and thousands of others have suffered. I have sponsored children in this type of situation, its not much but at least I have done something. How could anyone just leave the child like that and drive off to take the next award winning photo? We are all diminished by the fact that this person was part of our race (human) even if only by a technicality.
    I'm stopping now because the more I think about it the angrier Im gonna get.
    WANKER!

    I hate to say it but I thought... "scum"

    then I thought "Urban myth"... so I hit google...

    With 5 mins of moderate searching I found nothing to change my first opinion.

    I can't begin to relate to this guy.

    Shoot the fucken vluture, start a fire - feed the kid.
    Pick the kid up and take him for help. If there is no help forthcoming shout till you get it.
    Adopt the kid
    Provide finance to support the kid and the kid's family.

    Please - someone, prove me wrong... this has got to be a myth.. surely.?

    Do you get just as upset at the people who have kids when there's nothing to feed them, nowhere to keep them safe, no-one to look after them?

    Yes - but that's not the argument here.

    This kid HAD hope, the guy behind the lens could have helped but (reportedly) didn't.

    I'd really like to know why not - because I genuinely don't understand.

    Tell me, which had the greater impact, the photo or the fact he walked away?

    Perhaps by walking away he inspired controversy and consequently more help and saved more lives than had he saved this single life only to die another day soon.

    Meh... sponsoring children doesn't mean shit.

    Same as donating money to children in need and all this crap.

    None of the money gets to where it's supposed to go so why bother?

    The only people that can really do something about it are the world leaders who need to take out Robert Mugabe and his like.

    Search the web and you'll find all sorts of reports about African Kings who get huge donations from oxfam and that to feed their poor, then suddenly they've got a new jet and are having parties every night.

    If you wanna solve poverty you've gotta solve it's cause, and that's the corrupt african governments.

    Either that, or we could continue playing them at cricket and pretending that there's nothing wrong.

    YES! but at least most of them are trying to keep them going, they dont just walk away and leave them to die.

    God requires that we overpopulate.

    If the population was low and the standard of living was high,no one would be in misery and need religion.

    Kinda like the Labour party keeping the average wage low and generating lots of labour voters

    It does the the kid receiving the aid...

    Yes it gets through - sure some of it's sucked up by the machine, and I'd like to see more getting passed on.

    But I'll do what I reasonably can and look for the answers, not the excuses. I'll also act on my own experiences and not by what people say.

    Re the change of corrupt governments - agreed 200%

    MDU has it right, this kid had a chance, and 1 man with a 'dont-give-a-shit' attitude left her to die so he could go take another photo.

    CaN
    I know what you mean and the answer is first the photo, then the fact that he walked away. I can only say that, as much as I am able to, I will help all those that are within my path and ability. This child was in his path and ability.

    6-7 years ago I started sponsoring a young kid who was in a dire condition. As the years went on I got photos of him and I got to see some of the things that he had learned and how he had learned to take care of himself and his family. Just last year I got a letter to say that he had achieved a scholarship to study medicine and he no longer needed sponsorship so I now sponser a 2 yr old and hope that one day she will have the same oppurtunities.... THe money that you give to world vision helps the kids village as a whole so that they can have a school, a doctors surgery etc. With that money the kids and adults learn how to farm (with the money sponsored the family are given a cow to use for milk and other farming) they learn how to be healthy etc. The kids that you sponser are able to be fed and clothed and they have more of a future as they can go to school. I think that its great that the money doesnt just go to one particular person or thing though the whole village is helped. This promotes better health and well being for everyone in the village. I got sent that email yesterday and it almost made me cry, but I can kind of understand why the guy left the kid - not that it makes it right.
