You know I usually dont' comment to much on the celeb's of the world. Simply because they are ppl like we are and are living their lives. But Jolie really needs to take a step back and take a freaking chill pill. I pulled this article off of msn.com .......my opinions and comments are going to be in blue.
GENEVA - Angelina Jolie says it is shocking that refugees are being turned into hate figures in rich countries in an attempt to win elections or sell newspapers.
Even worse, the Academy Award-winning actress and United Nations goodwill ambassador said, was that people in the West did not seem to care.
The gov't didn't make the ppl in these countries "hate" figures. Organizations who tell citiziens of other countries to support outher country's citizens made them into "hate" figures. Many ppl, myself included, rather see chartiable dollars that these so called charity organizations donate go to our own homeless, starving, poor, and under privileaged especially since many of the First World Nations just happen to support every fucking country out there. Is that so wrong? That we take care of our citizens. Oh that is right we can't do that! We are suppose to let our own citizens starve to death out on cold streets and give all our money to ppl overseas and to illegal alliens. But you know what I rather give the money to the illegal aliens from countries that border our country then to countries that are clear over the ocean from us!
"It's a scandal, really, in such a rich world, that we are not even finding a way to help feed refugee families properly," Jolie wrote in an op-ed piece released this week in Refugees, a quarterly magazine published by the U.N. refugee agency.
I personally think it is a scandal that Jolie can't donate any of her big bucks to the US where she made a lot of her big bucks to let alone to the other countries of her nationality! She is a rich individual but she is dead set being a marter and good will amasador to other countries. Does she not know how many people die of weather, starvation, and lack of medical care in the North Americas alone?
She said Europeans, who only six decades ago were confronted by 40 million refugees in the aftermath of World War II, have turned their backs on victims of tyrannical regimes. Jolie also criticized Americans and Australians for failing to improve the situation of the many migrants who have died trying to emigrate to their countries.
Lets take a look at the refugees of WWII and the refugees she is talking about. Most if not all the refuggess were from European countries and fought their way off their backs from the tyrannical regimes they endured. As for migrant workers is Jolie going to compensate all the decendents of every single migrant worker who died, suffered pain, humiliation, and a hard life when nobody helped them to orginally migrate to these countries she is talkinag about. Again it goes back to many ppl in these countries already supporting the World at large and are getting tired of it when we have our own citizens that we need to take care of but our gov'ts are to busy kissing each other's asses and trying to play super powers and listening to drival coming from the likes of do gooders like Jolie!
"We will put Band-Aids over the most gaping wounds because they look a bit ugly," even as UNHCR battles to meet funding requirements for its annual programs helping 20 million people, Jolie said.
"Agencies like UNHCR should not really have to struggle to scrape a few tens of millions of dollars together to help rebuild shattered nations — like Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia and south Sudan," Jolie said. "But we won't pay for a full cure."
Why shouldn't these organizations suffer on scrappign up a few tens of millions of dollars? Middle class and Poor Class citizens in First World Countries struggle on a daily basise trying to feed, clothe, educate, and put shelter over their own heads and their childrens. Our gov'ts should be telling these so called charitable orgs based in their countries...........we dont' care if you want to help other countries but the majority of your earmarked dollars need to go into helping out our own poor and homeless. So instead of bitchign about countries that dont' "do anything" maybe Jolie needs to go harrase her acting friends in to coughing up more money on the charities then spending on a day at the spa!
Jolie, who has made over 30 missions for the agency since becoming goodwill ambassador in 2001, described her shock over a photo printed in an edition of Refugees earlier this year capturing a couple bathing on a beach while disregarding a black man washed ashore.
"They can't see the stark reality lying a few yards further up the beach," she wrote. "We are all — myself included — behaving like the couple sitting under their umbrella on the beach, gazing studiously out to sea."
LMMFAO! Jolie is really not one to talk about the differences of stark reality of this couple ignoring the gentleman bathing in the ocean. First it was their fucking vacation! They had every right to ignore someone and enjoy their holiday. Shit if I had money to go to another country your dayum right I would ignore them also because I deserve a holiday where do gooders like Jolie open her mouth telling me where to put my money. Lets take a look at what Jolie and Pitt did in Africa. Basically took over a whole hotel or resort or what ever it was just to live in peace and quite so she could pop out a kid. Where is your courage at to show the world your a tough titted bitch at Jolie? Could give birth in one of the local huts like so many of those women do that you think we need to give our money too? How much do you spend on your OWN children's education for private schools and tuitures while those same nations you champion for most likely only have one room school houses and 20 year old books? It looks like the pot is calling the kettle black there don't ya think? I have a suggestion you think that Europeans, US and Austrilian citiziens need to start giving more and more of their money to other countries ...........I suggest you put your kids in public schools like the rest of us and use that tuition you spend out to give to those countires. I think one year would probably pull a couple of those countries out of debt!
