Let's get our Priorities Straight.

That's what I have been wondering? Why and how do they pick and choose what people they are going to help? The majority of those dying are children, I would think that would be a priority.

Very good point.

Exactly tberdell, that's what I don't get & used to ask my mother as a kid. They might have the cure for cancer if we took care of them, so aren't we obligated ? Why do we think we can shirk off our duty to mankind and our planet? Or am I a naive fool?

I'm sure they did all they could. I think it's a bit rash to assume that they did nothing, and I would hope that we could give them the same benefit of the doubt that we would want. The point of the video is to open people's eyes, not to have an argument about what the journalists did or didn't do. I'm pretty sure that these children died, and even if they didn't thousands more will die today, right now while we read and post and do whatever we do. I just want people to think and hopefully thinking will lead to action.

I think they did bring food and water, but the children will have to be hospitalized, because you cannot just provide food and water at this stage, you have to do more, their food and fluids will have to be carefully monitored to return them to health, and hopefully the people filming did all of this.

They did? I'll try to check that out even though there is no other information in this post. I am interested in knowing what has now become of the children they filmed. Oh, and water is the very least that could be given. Hopefully these children were then clothed and taken in that van to a station where Doctors Without Borders could give them the attention they need. Will I be voted down for typing that too?

Typical here. Vote down a comment for caring and asking a question. Coward.

I voted you back up Jan, you asked a very reasonable question. The world needs more people with your compassion.

Thank you. I guess the person took the word infuriating the wrong way? If I were that close I couldn't just stand still. I would pick them up out of the dirt and bring them into one of the huts the journalists were standing in front of and cover them up and try to take them where I could get medical attention. I hope that's what happened, but I wasn't able to find anymore information on who these people are or what transpired after this was taken.

Well, I didn't vote you down, didn't vote on any comments, but yeah, that's gotten to be pretty typical around here lately. I will, however, vote you up, which I always try to do. Hope you know that jan.

We are not supposed to have emotions like fury jan....we will be downvoted. Hell, I could care less who votes me down, although I have to hand it to Warren, he got a -55 on that recent blitz of down votes. The whole thing sort of made me want to stop voting on comments, but I guess that's not a good solution either.

Well I could have voted it back up myself but left it there. It isn't that so much as the principle of it. It wasn't vulgar, insulting to a member, etc. Some seem to just get a jolly out of being able to get out their petty grudges on the voting system and I think that is just juvenile.

I understand what you are saying, but unfortunately shock value is a driving force in fund raising. Journalist are not there to assist (although many do anyway), they are there to document.

It is disgraceful that this situation should exist anywhere in the world. If not for the people that went out and "exploited" it for whatever reason, many would not know of its existence.

I got it from LiveLeak.com. There is no other info given on that website either, but I as well would like to know what happened to them or if they took them to get medical care.

Take all that time you just spent thinking about this voting sh*t and use it to think about how you can help the children in Somalia. :)

And yet when I turn on the news, I see a story about Kim Kardashian's ass and if she has implants.

Kim Kardashian's ass could probably feed those kids for a month....oh, I didn't say that.

Let me redress. Kim Kardashian's cosmetics budget could probably feed those kids for a year....yeah, I did say that.

I really like the idea of BBQing Kim Kardashian's ass, as well as the entire casts of every E reality show and feeding the world.

Yes, cannibalism is probably bad, but in this case it would kill two birds with one big BBQ pit. Feeding the hungry and getting rid of programs that are dumbing down America exponentially.

Jersey Shore would be junk food. And Desperate Housewives would give them the runs.

You are right about that. Can we do it anyway and feed them to republicans?
