I would help anyone in need Niamh as I am sure most of us would whether we believe or not,what I do understand is some of the views on here, we can only do so much,what do people want us to do exactly?

Well, not refer to them as cockroaches that need to be blown out of the water instead of rescued would be a good start anyway :/ (yes I know you didn't say that)

I do have to say, this and your earlier post are totally spot on.

In my opinion,Christian and indeed just even any kind of caring values should not just be brought into play when it suits, or is convenient for those who claim to care.
They should be brought into play whenever,wherever and for whoever the need is there for such compassion,caring and help.

I'm not religious at all Kaz, but our leaders are quick enough to use the Christian banner to dictate to other countries how they should behave. We have also intervened and placed sanctions on countries under the very same banner of righteousness.

Its double standards to me, if we walk away when a country or its people needs assistance. This doesn't mean we have to shoulder all the responsibility for caring for them, but we could be pro active in finding global solutions, in the same way that we do when a country pisses us off

I understand that bitontheslide,I do think we will help if we can,but I do think people should be vetted first.On the news earlier some of these people have been in contact with Ebola ,so for that reason alone we need to be careful.

I'm glad someone does Kirk,lol,people seem to think that some of us don't care about what's going on,well of course we do,but how do we solve it when we have so much to deal with ourselves ?
