I'm gonna go ahead and be a selfish ***** and tell the rest of the world to get fucked, America needs to wash it's OWN *** and burp it's OWN babies before we venture out and try to "save the world".
If the grossly overpaid, and overrated celebs of the planet join together in a mutual wild hair up the *** idea, great, stupendious, let them petition the governments in thier repective countries for funding to support thier ideas, like others have said, I am not willing to add my name to a petition that will further a national financial burden and emplore the mismanagement of funding.
Shriners hospital is a perfect example, for the childrn right? Wrong! In a 7 story facility, 1 floor, not even the entire floor, is alotted for patients. 6 floors of administration, not 1 car in the admin lot under 50 grand..."but sir, your donation is for the children" bitch please, who's children, the kids in need of your services or is it that the admin lounge needs another wing added to it to fit another 3 espresso machines on the Corian countertop!
It's enough to make you sick, and it is only a sliver of the things that are wrong in THIS country, and it still happens everyday.

Im not even going to argue this anymore, its so obvious NONE OF YOU have even read the petition. Those of you that have (or claim to have) need to re-read it a bit. They are addressing a few more things than just handouts to poor countries(i.e. AIDS). Oh but the global AIDS epidemic doesnt affect the US though does it?

"Just One Percent Of the US Budget" HOLY ****.
Just one percent of the US budget is more then some countries GNP. We've only got 100 1%'s to delegate. Just one percent would do a lot for bettering the education of our students, providing health care for ALL of our citizens, providing healthcare for our senior citizens, providing retirement for our senior citizens, ******* a they built this country and we can't even provide them with healthcare in their old age, that's a ******* crime right there and it's happening right here, why don't some of these over paid ***** champion our elderly?
Just one percent..... un-*******-believable.
Where does it end? How many times can we dish out just one percent before our own economy crumbles, that statement in itself shows how short sided the whole campaign is.

just one day for the national debt to increase another 1.64 BILLION
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.64 billion per day since September 30, 2004!
I could pretty it up with a banner if I could get brad pitt on my side!

Don't get me wrong, I feel compassion for every country in despair and I thank god I live here in the US, however I think we have some serious issues here at home to attend to before we start saving the world.
