Comment on … that I’m not excellent at one thing. by Taty

Thats so interesting..
it was actually really interesting reading this cause thats how i see myself a bunch of times, ive always wished I was really good in one thing, and like you ive played a bunch of different sports, musical instruments, etc but never got into one thing. I was actually talking about that with Leo like last week. He keeps telling me its ok, its part of my personality. That we adapt easily, that is easy to love a bunch of things.
I still think about it though.

Thanks for sharing, It makes me feel Im not the only one haha

yes, steve I agree with you. I think that speakers and seekers need a place to share, laugh, and learn from one another. I think there is a conference like that called The IdeaCamp from this guy named Charles. You should check him out. lol. hahaha

Comment on … for humanitarian rights over international politics by steveschai

Thanks for your comment, Orson.

I give you everything that you stated. If you look at the post, I granted that the ones who need the food are not getting it. I also agree with you that it is the North Korean State Government that is withholding the food, not WFP donors.

The post is my argument for more aggressive action. I think that what has been done is a sorry excuse for diplomacy and humanitarian aid- withholding the food accomplishes nothing. I liken it to not giving a homeless man money in fear that he will use it on alcohol or drugs. And being short on food donations is like not giving a homeless man a dollar because we are having a hard time making rent.

What I’m trying to say is this: don’t even go through the cat and mouse motions. Don’t tie any strings to the aid (NK will then take it for sure) – just give them the food, and let God be the judge.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Even if it were offered, it is usually the North Korean state government that refuses food aid from NGOs & the UN, not other way around:

If anything, the lack of food aid is a direct result of the current economic crisis and budget shortcomings of Western donor nations – much more so than a political response to nuclear proliferation.
