There's a very good chance that while they do help some Ugandan children in some capacity, a large chunk of the donated money doesn't go anywhere but their own pockets. They're playing on how Americans constantly feel some bizarre need to help less fortunate people in other countries but ignore the problems in our own...and how gullible people in this country are.

My philosophy regarding foreign affairs has always been to fix the majority of the problems here before worrying about other people. If by some cosmic chance a massive tsunami rips into Uganda, then by all means send help. But what a lot of people don't seem to understand is that Uganda probably doesn't want American involvement in their country regarding this issue in the first place.

Does it suck that kids are being forced into military service? Yes. Is there really anything we can (or should) do about it? That's very debatable.

The only way it will end is through military intervention...and Americans are very quick to forget that the last major US military operation was not very popular.

I was on business in Brunswick yesterday and around 3 o clock I was driving and my girlfriend said "what the heck is that" , on the top of a car carrier. I just glanced like it was no big deal and I said it was prob. A new Acura .

For some reason I slowed down and let the carrier catch up to me.. As it got closer I said its a volt. Then as the carrier passed me I realized it was not a volt or an American car. Right now I still don't know what the heck it was. It looked like a volt , started with x or z (can't remember) and was DEFINETLY not an American vehicle...

Now the crazy part ..

The carrier was LOADED with European camaros . They had the sunglass tail lights and I told my girlfriend that those are the ones in Europe ( I know that from lurking on these forums)

Very interesting as this was spotted on Golden Isles in Brunswick , GA which is where a lot of federal training goes on. I was so mad when I grabbed my iPhone and it was dead. I am sure there are owners here from Brunswick that can enlighten me on why the heck these cars were being carried in Georgia ??!
sound like someone who's had 2 camaro's previously?
