I think OP is a moron. I also think that the people in here that believe we are helping out other countries because it is the "right thing to do", are also morons.

ive lived in mexico before, and, nowhere in DC looks half as bad as the hoods in mexico....and they're a SECOND world country...
that's mexico
my pops lived down there after he retired, and, he and his wife adopted a little girl who lived next door to them.....she lived in a shack like the picture above....my father lived in a nice condo-like house.....with satellite and running water...
she lived in literally a shack with pressed metal as a ceiling....
show me DC looking like this (and if you were smart youd find as many pictures of homeless people as you can....but guess what, THESE PEOPLE ARENT HOMELESS, THIS IS HOME FOR A LARGE POPULATION IN NOT ONLY MEXICO, BUT ACROSS THE GLOBE)
american kids these days...lol
he's comparing US cities (DC, nonetheless) to 3rd world countries and obviously hasnt ever even seen videos of a third world country
LOL
NO PERSPECTIVE WHATSOEVER
oh, okay, its hyperbole now....which is a comedic device....alright...
you get exposed and claim hyperbole LOL
an american life isnt more valuable than a japanese life, which isnt more valuable than an indonesian life, and so on and so forth...we are all humans...
these national affiliations are man made constructs to divide wealth and power....
i know what you're saying cause i raised the same questions.....when i was like 13....then i got world perspective....
not saying DC hoods are peachy, nor that the african american children growing up there even get a fair shot at life, nor that there isnt a REAL problem that needs to be addressed....
you can't compare anywhere here to a 3rd world country anywhere....its not even in the same mesosphere.....
