Discusting? (disgusting)? Why?

[Para-Noid]

That is not disgusting. Children need to be fed and nurtured where ever they may be.
Whether hunger and horrible living conditions exist, they exist in every country on this
planet. Children suffer not only in Syria but also the USA, the UK, China, third world countries.
I could go on but you get the picture. One time after visiting New Orleans while returning home
we drove by people living in what could barely be called shacks. The children were wearing
what was hardly any clothing at all and were playing without shoes. Poverty and despair is
everywhere. It's sad that those with money don't help any more than they do. Myself I live
below the poverty line here in the USA. I pay my CATV bill so I can have access to the internet.

And we complain about the price of a beer or a gallon/liter of gas.

And we have people starving.

I have friends in the Ukraine , they live in a small apartment block in a major city. They now have a homeless family living in the stairwell ........... tiny kids, new baby, hungry and frightened, nowhere else to go.

I think this is more of a lost in translation (English not as native language) not disgusting, more like disturbing, distressing, etc. etc.

[Secondmineboy]

Yep. Youre right there.

My native language is german. So thats sometimes not really helpful.

[Lisandro]

Never mind. It's not mine either

You're English is much, much better than my German (Spoken not Written), learnt during three tours of duty at Army barracks in Osnabrück and Detmold.

My major problem was most of the German people I mixed with spoke good English. Unfortunately I haven't been back to Germany for over twenty years or more, so much of what I learnt I have forgotten.

Being raised in an 'extended' German Family with Grandparents only speaking Deutsch, I could speak and write fluently when I was a teenager; Not so much any more.
Family rule was "when you have extra, you share. No matter whether Food, Money or Advice.

Save the children in Syria by forcing USA,UK,France,Turkey,KSA etc. to stop supplying cannibalistic degenerates,so called rebels
(ISIL,Al Nusra Front,Islamic Front) with weapons.
There is no moderate opposition in Syria.That is fairy tale.I support SAA and President Bashar Al Assad.

This is reality,not propaganda created for the purpose of military intervention against sovereign country with legitimate government.

[Para-Noid]

This thread was not started for a political discourse.
It's about people suffering irregardless of politics.

I'm always amazed at the negativity of some. No matter what the cause, there are always those that need to turn every good deed
into something sinister.
Usually they are also the ones who never seem to get involved in an attempt to resolve what is an actual crisis.
World hunger happens to be an enormous problem in almost all counties including those that are considered rich countries.
I participate on a regular basis with a local Food Bank in an effort to bring food to those in my home community who need a helping hand.
Sometimes, help is more important than synassism. Keep politics out of posts that have nothing to do with politics.
Do a good deed every day of your life and, you'll outlive immortality. You may not live forever but, you can at least enjoy your life while you
spend it on this earth. Bringing some joy to others who usually have none is one such way.

@bob3160
You're good person,but I've seen this before.This campaign to save the children in Syria is nothing more than an attempt
to convince American public that military intervention is the only option to stop the suffering of the children in Syria.
USA is the cause of the problem and not the solution.USA is also cause of the problem in Ukraine.
