‘cried when bees drowned’

She should be around when a bee hive gets dumped on the ground and the bees come out pis*** off.

A few drowning after that will be no big deal.

Use guys is too cynical. Do you know that you can end breast cancer by paying $25-50 to participate in a “Walk to End Breast Cancer” in your area?

Unfortunately since the money is going through organizations like UNICEF (part of the United Nations) it will be ineffective and could even be used to PAY for child prostitutes. Missionaries are more likely to actually accomplish something in rescuing children from slavery whether sexual or otherwise.

Also, the left (which for the most part controls the U.N.) may classify reasonable child labor practices as child slavery. In some poor countries children must work in order for families to survive.

Clearly you have not been walking enough because breast cancer is still with us. Maybe you should try walking on your hands and knees to appease the god of breasts.

Vivienne, soon to be a fourth grader at Cascade Canyon Elementary School, and her family were visiting Sonoma last May when the young girl saw the book “Slavery” by Lisa Kristine, a journalist who photographs slaves across the world. An image of two Nepalese boys with giant rocks strapped to their heads grabbed Vivienne’s attention, and she wanted to do something about ending their plight. “Maybe we could sell lemonade?” was the simple question Vivienne asked her parents, Alex, a stay-at-home mom, and her father, Eric, a triathlete, author and founder of Resonate Social, a successful digital marketing.

So she's selling lemonade to stamp out Islam?

Those who want the US to pay reparations for slavery should really work towards fighting slavery where it still exists.

They ain't got time for that. There's no money to be made off of ending slavery elsewhere in the world today. Reparations mean a settlement check in "your" pocket.

Between the Islamists in the UN and the corrupt officials there (see keyword UNSEXSCANDALS) engaging in child prostitution/sexual slavery, giving money to the United Nations will definitely NOT result in an end to child slave trade in the world today.

Even the newspapers don’t know how to make a noun plural -
playing with her Barbies (dolls) not Barbie’s.

And by buying anything in breast cancer pink.
