And what these 'dead-African-children-preachers' don't get is that I give a decent amount of money to charity of all types. I gave £50 to Cancer Research. Everytime I have change in a shop, i put the last of it in the little tin for charities.... I swear all these adverts/people who preach like to think that no one does anything to help when there is a hell of a lot of people who do.
sorry for the rant, but I've seen this attitude on the forum a lot recently and it really pisses me off

It's fair enough, it's time people opened their eyes and realised that what these people (and all of the billions of people in the world not sitting pretty at the top) need is a fundamental change in global politics and an end to wealth-hoarding at the top level. Not a tin of baked beans and a mosquito net.
