Should 3rd world countries be pissed at anorexics?

The dz hasn't had new life in it for yages

Do you think 3rd world countries should hate anorexics? While they are starving, lacking of a human right, teenage girls are starving themselves to look good. Should they be cross at them for just passing food off as part of fashion while they are there starving because of where they were born, longing too be in their shoes where they even have a choice of what food they eat, and could never go hungry again, but yet anorexics abuse this privolige. Thoughts?

No, they should be pissed at the US, period. 2.1Billion dollars a year to feed that war; they could have ended world hunger 5 times over by now. Clean water supplies, better sheltering for 3rd world countries, better schooling, aids prevention awareness, etc, etc.

Nice answer, and so true

We should ship all anorexics off...they can live with the "pretty people" and starve. Im sorry if i sound mean, I cant see how people can be so stupid as to starve themselves.

I don't think it's right for anyone to be mad at anyone else for something they take advantage of. As far as I know, most people don't live their lives to the fullest extent, be happy all the time for what they have, and appreciate all the little joys in life. It's just not natural. Of course we take advantage of things, do you honestly expect me to think "Gee, I sure am lucky to live in this great country and have this great food," every time I take a bite out of my sandwich? And do you think a girl (or boy) with a disorder like anorexia again is going to start eating just because some skinny kid in Africa thinks she should?
Not me, that's for sure. Different people have different problems. The kid in africa dosn't have enough food, and the anorexic girl lives in a society that tells her she needs to eat less food to be successful. They both suck equally, and we shouldn't hate each other for it.

Ya if G.W wasn't so determined to find his "Weapons of Mass Destruction" he could have used the 500 Billion he spent on some food for 3rd world countries.

And also if anorexics choose not to eat its pretty much there choice, i'm sure the 3rd world countries loathe them for there ability just to throw out food and not care about the cost though.

Suck equally? Not at all. The big difference in those situations which are sooo different it makes me laugh is! The "skinny African kid" doesn't have the choice to call his non-existent eatting condition a disorder. Your argument had some valid points, but get real. Truth be told, we should be grateful of how fortunate we are, surely not all the time, but enough to understand the value of our lives and the choices we make. The wasted opportunities of a good life is disgustingly sad. I mean on either end of the stick, you got a kid who's day in and day out concern is where will my next meal be? Whats around that bush, and how is my mom still alive? While with the anorexic the concern is, hmm should I puke out this bag of chips now, or eat supper later and puke twice?

Come on.

That would be a Belumic Nom. But they should be more pissed at those people. Anorexics don't eat, but Belumics just plain waste food. They eat like pigs and then throw it up. As to what you said about ending world hunger 5 times over, yes we could. But thats up to diplomats. We claim to have a democracy where everyone has a say, But bush won by like what 3%? And no one excercises the right to vote. That is, almost no one. The thing is, with our government as soon as someones in office unless they get sacked, we don't have influence on the decisions. Sure we pick who goes in, but they bullshit us until they are in office. Then it's like a kid in a candy store. In these starving countries and 3rd world countries, i know it's bad but since when was it the Unites States responsiblity to give moeny to every starving kid in the world and bring every nation out of poverty. Everytime we try to help they try to devolp nukes to kill us anyway. If that country can't establish a firm goverment then it's their own damn faul their country is shit. I'm not saying that a goverment can solve every problem. Hell, sometimes they create problems, but in this case you really have to think:"Could it be any worse?"

same shit I get them confused all the time. Food is my second lover. Hating on food hurts my heart.
