This is why I'm an atheist. A supposed God who was so pissed off over some orgies and homo sex in Sodom and Gomorrah that he destroyed the cites with fire and brimstone wouldn't just let subsequent evils like you are talking about happen.

Within weeks, the Tutsi living in the places that were being massacred were basically all dead. All of them. The genocide was basically successful. 80% of the Tutsi in Rwanda were massacred. Straight up.

The Rwandan genocide made the Holocaust look civilised, and nobody would ever say that we should have let the Nazis murder all the Jews (and the Rwandan genocide was statistically five times as murderous as the Holocaust). So, UN or American or whatever, how can pragmatism be justified if we are to consider ourselves human beings?

And I'm not even going into the organized rape squads that left virtually every single female Tutsi survivor, almost literally every single goddamn one, a victim of rape, and the AIDS epidemic that resulted (the Hutus actually organized "rape squads" of HIV positive men to rape Tutsi women in order to poison their gene pool) was just like... holy ****.

So go to Africa and start feeding people if you care so much. It's not like the suffering is over. Mali has been getting ****ed. Sudan. South Sudan. Are you going to go yourself or just volunteer others? In my case, I'm not even about to cross the street to help out even if my neighbor is ready to off himself. I doubt you are either. Isn't there tragedy left and right in your town? We got homeless junkies on the street. Kids getting murdered. People going hungry. What are we doing? Typing ****ing messages on here.

Congratulations. I hope it was cathartic. I wouldn't want all those poor ****s to have died for nothing.
