Wow. Chels' post is definately thought-provoking.. Yeah, I have to admit that mostly I put my own issues before anyone else's or the world's. But I feel that each one of us needs stability and satisfaction in our own lives before we can help anyone else's (Angelina Jolie's a good example). I am against war under any circumstance but I do feel sad for the soldiers dying. It's not really out of respect but more out of sympathy. Has anyone seen Fahrenheit 911? I'm not a fan of Michael Moore's because he's way too bias but the film depicts young people joining the army not necessarily because they want to go to war but bc the army promises good education and chance to travel to those that come from poor families. I don't really see the point of having any Canadian soldier stationed in Afghanistan (or any soldier of any nationality for that matter). They can't even find Osama. What are they doing there? Are they secretly busting terrorist HQ's all James Bond style only to go "Oops" whenever there's a terrorist bombing in London? Aren't we just sucking up to the US? This whole Afghan/Iraq thing pisses me off to no end. Blah. For now, I just want to focus on school b/c the world's just getting too ridiculous by the minute.
My family left yesterday.. No little annoying cousin this time, thank goodness. Are we going to PNE anytime soon? Let me know =)
