If an emo kid can sit through something like Black Hawk Down or something of that nature, and still complain their life sucks; they should either be allowed to slit their wrists or deported to Somalia.

i saw this and im very sad at the moment

Sad, but true.

Complain less, give more. Words.

Yaeh. The sad part is that you think about it day or two. Than you get back to about your personal problems. And the people keep starving ...

I agree with Boso. A few days after I saw that thing, I actually did forget about it until I saw the post again and it made me sad because I'm not the one that's starving or anything. If I could give half my food to them I would. (but then I would go hungry! ... JUST KIDDING)
I looked at it again.. I wish I didn't.. it makes me sad

After I saw this site, I realized how lucky I am for my situation now, eventhough im not that rich.. I appreciate what comes to me as a blessing..

These people? I can't help them give something, but I can pray for them...

What I find sad is people have to go to a website to be enlightened about this, the issues should be plastered over the news.

I was planning to go on a strict diet coz I'm kinda worried bout my weight due to complications of removing my thyroid glands which results to hypothyroidism. But when I saw the site, it made me realized how lucky I am. Here I am tryin' not to eat the foods prepared for me but my brothers & sisters far away are starvin to death. Wish there's something that I could do.. If only I was rich

I do pray the rosary every night and from now on, i'll include them in my prayers..

I agree. There are/were some ads on tv about this sort of stuff, I know lots of people generally label them as annoying and long (they are long ) but they really remind you how lucky you are and that we should actually do something about it. Who cares about the celebrities getting married and stuff, there's people dying as we speak! Starving to death...

Wow, that is sad. But, of course, it's one thing many people are aware of but don't think much about since it doesn't affect them. Even though you all saw that, you're not about to give up $5 to donate to aid them, right?

I think it's unfortunate that many people don't donate to funds that help starving Africans, or other worthwhile causes, today. As a student, I can't donate anything at this time (except my time to raise funds for Unicef through various service organizations), but I know, in the future, I will actively donate to help aid causes such as these.

But, what does this image do for you? Does it solidify a commitment to helping these Africans in the future? Does it make you want to help them somehow?

Or, does it make you sad for 1 second until you realize that you don't ever want to give up your hard earned money, even if it helps them?

Anyway, these are my thoughts. As for emos, I agree; this really puts their annoying natures in perspective. Of course, emos are just crying for attention, and their lives truly aren't worse than the starving children in Africa.

I feel really bad now

As you guys said, it makes me feel better about what I have.
