Fuck this bullshit.
This is a thread that was created with a hit and run youtube clip based on bad faith.
This is what really happens when you treat refugees like fucking human beings:

I remember picking up boat people twice in the late 80's when I was attached to the
USS Sterett out of Subic Bay. Being forward deployed in the Philippines, we didn't go on long cruises but we were constantly in and out, patrolling about. I remember looking down into the helo hanger from the CIWS/Harpoon deck at all the people we rescued. They looked stunned.
I guess some equate the people from impoverished nations to the poor of wealthy ones. They don't understand (or don't care) the desperation of extreme poverty and will usually come back with a "we can't save everyone" type comment. Well, perhaps if we focused more on saving the world and less on chasing money, we could have at least ended abject poverty in the world.
