Today I found out that a guy who use to go to my school is facing a very tough decision. He's currently going to Brown University, and is a fantastic ballet dancer. He's an incredibly nice guy, one of those people who should never have bad things happen to them.
Well, something very messed up happened over the weekend. His father on the other coast got into a very serious bike accident and nearly died. He is now on life support and all tests so far have shown that he is brain dead.
The guy is only 18, and already losing his father in a freak accident.
Since he is the only living relative left, it will be his choice whether or not to take his father off life support.
Why do all the bad things happen to the nice people around us?
fucking shame, the only thing worse is those kids in africa whose parents have aids then the parents die and the kids find out they are born with aids. fucked up!
Hello, before you continue to read please forget everything you know. Leave your job training and management techniques behind because they will be of no use. Try to remember a time when you were a child. When justice meant more to you than doing what you were told. When you believed in a naturale law of what is good and what is wrong. Killing is wrong. You have always known this. Stop reading now unless you have some kind of humanity left inside of your body. Do the right thing when you read this letter. Do what ever you can. No matter what position your in. If you work for the united nations you are a step ahead. You have the ability wether you know it or not to make a difference in this world. Just by writing this letter I have done something. The world will change. I will help you change it yourself.
In Rawanda thier has been a genocide. Genocide that has been allowed to continue since the early 90's. It is something that the United Nations is aware of. Of course nothing has been done. People know that it exists but they are safe and away from the pain. There is pain that is being felt at this very moment you are reading this. Things happening you cannot imagine. Wide spread chaos and murder. Justice is the only option. Perhaps 800,000 people have been murdered. I do not like to spew out numbers because it seems that no one can comprehend them. Today when you are at work imagin all of your co workers have died and
multiply that by a few hundred thousand maybe. Then you can understand that 800,000 people is something to be afraid of. You should not feel jaded by this but feel empathy. Feel pity and shame for what has happened. It is sad that people feel that it was right to help the persacuted Jewish peoples in occupied Europe but no opinion is held now for Rawanda. I just want you the reader to please share this sadness with me. Embrace it because it is indeed horrible. It makes me hate myself. But it gives me power to know that with this knowledge I can try to help. No there is no try for I will help. I am helping now and so will you. I know you because your are me. We are alike and we both feel pity for these people.
I know that there was a time in everyones life when they believed they could change the world. Change it now while you still can because we will die. We will die someday and we must be sure that the world does not forget us. Make sure we are not left behind in history. If you realise your potential to have your believes transported into the world you can do anything. I do not know if this letter will help. It is a vauge letter. Not very well put together. But their is heart inside of it. Their is passion and hunger for something bigger than ourselves. The world will go one much longer after we cease to exist. Make sure that your spot in its history is sealed as someone who tried to help others in need to be someone who transcribed his or her believes past themselves and into eternity to live on forever.
My name is not important. I am 18 years old and I live in America. I love my country and my world. I know that someday there can be change in both. There is much to be learned by all. It was once told to me that the wisest man on earth knows he is not wise. He is aware of himself and his faults in a way that makes him perfect to institute change. I will take this journey one step at a time. Army, UN whatever it takes. Four years from now there is no telling where we will be. Do what you want with this letter but do it out of your humanity whatever that is.
PS. This letter is not intened to single out Rawanda. It is an example. There are many more problems at hand other than Rawanda.
The astounding naivety of this shows how children are being brainwashed by 'liberal' adults, usually teachers. The UN is driven by political expediency, not by justice. Yes, it's an unfair world, 16968, but this kind of bleating only strengthens the perpetrators of genocide, etc., because they have no comprehension of pity or fair play. If you really want to change the world, you'll have to fight; in real life, the pen is not really mightier than the sword.

Hey buddy, my name is Mr...
Hello, before you continue to read please forget everything you know.
I forgot how to read!
Today when you are at work imagin all of your co workers have died and...
throw a huge party! With balloons and drinks and strippers and laughter and now you are free!
Thankyou 16968, you have given us hope. Now think of a number between 1 and 10. Was it 4? I knew it.
I can think of something worse.to die and not be saved by the blood of JESUS CHRIST.think about that,you know not the day nor the hour,be prepared at all times.
I am prepared, I always have with me:
- some hardcore German porn
- a crack pipe & stash
- a list of =very= rude words
- a bomb with *Die America* written on it
So when I die I can show Jesus all the fun he missed out on.
