Siz, DK? Are you THAT old?

Thanks!  I have noticed that many people prefer to be negative rather than positive.  The "my glass is half empty rather than my glass is half full" syndrome.

So what that we cannot get into the countries badly affected by this abuse?  Little by little the barriers can be broken down, but no one will achieve anything by being negative or angry.

I am not sure how to being this, but if more and more of you sign up to the cause for a start.  these organisations do have people in the right places. 

I understand your sentiment, but also I have to disagree.  It seems rather simplistic to say "what is the point in discussing things we can do nothing about" - discussion is very important and healthy - even if the views are negative. 

I am a big supporter of Amnesty International, but I do not donate and then walk away happy that I have "done my bit" and that my glass is now half full, and I am sure A.I. do not do that too!  Without anger and negativity, nothing would be achieved.  These organisations are born from anger and a feeling of wanting to try and do more.

In this rather selfish "me" centered world that we have become, people have become desensitised to suffering.  It is very important to get people angry!  A good example is the RSPCA advertising campaign about 4 years ago.  For years they had shown pictures of cute rescued animals.  They suddenly changed their campaign and showed actual abused dead animals.  It made the public very angry - many complained...... and their donations doubled.

Your statement "no one will achieve anything from being negative or angry" is actually wrong.

Thank you, Ok (Tamam), best wishes ad regards

 I can only speak from my experiences and I have found that being negative and angry has never solved a problem and only caused more. 

 You can probably name ANY charity and you will discover it was formed because of ANGER that nothing else was being done.

It is too easy to assume something is being done by someone else.

I think anger is very productive

 Can we agree to disagree?  I don´t belive that anger solves anything and you believe that anger solves everything.  I am speaking from my own experiences not assumptions.

 Of course we HAVE to agree to disagree.  Incidently, don´t most people speak from their own experiences not assumptions?  I certainly am.

Do you assume you are alone in this? You mentioned it twice now

 I´m tired now   

At least libralady has proposed something constructive and positive after some of the hot air and waffle of the previous pages and deserves some credit.

I don´t know about you, but I find it quite easy to disagree with someone without having to turn it into a major feud

We disagree....so? 

Do we have to argue all night now?
