eastbank Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Surely the greater good is helping young people live better lives? Educating them, fixing their illnesses. The war generation here is quickly running down - 84-90+ years old if they joined the war at 18. That's a whole generation of retired people who didn't fight in the war. didn't fight but lived throught it.....1939 was only 72 years ago.....why cannot their own countries educate them and treat them...why because their governments are more corrupt than ours.....have you seen how the well off live....in these so called third world countries....better than our pensioners....

Chris_Sleeps Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 ....do you really think the poor get their hands on our money If it goes to charity, yes. Nothing is perfect though, we can agree on that. I know charities in this country that are far from perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
