[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 741934, member: 1550"] I was aware that things like cell phones cost less to nothing in poorer countries. You can also buy very cheap throw away cell phones in the U.S. which is why some very poor people have one. I got a super cheapie at Walmart in St. Louis once when my own cell phone broke there. I was shocked at how cheap they are. Just becsuse people have cell phones doent mean they are IPhones or fancy. That is common sense. This resurgence of prejudice in our country against everyone who is not a white Christian is what fueled me to stop watching the news. Be it Jews,Muslims African Americans, illegal Mexicans who come here for a better life (no anger from me about this) or anyone I havent thought of, I feel cleaner if I refuse to listen to it. This bigotry has become almost mainstream/accepted by many as it was in Germany in WWII. The U.S. did not want to take in the Jews then and was late to get involved in the war. Lets not forget other U.S. WWII victims, the American Japanese who were locked in CAMPS! CAMPS! In the land of the free. I have read up on some on this. All Asians could be targeted! I simply have no stomach for the new brand of talking news heads and poliicians who decide who is a "good" person and who is "our enemy" based on race, ethnicity, religion, no religion, disability etc. America first, the motto, turns my stomach. Are we even talking about ALL Americans??? People first to me. If not, then the marginal deranged haters do things like Pittsburgh! The saddest part? There are others that feel it was legitimate. That Jews dont matter. That only people who look and worship like them matter. There is even fighting amongst different Christian churches. Why does everyone have to feel superior? If we understand, many dont WANT to understand nor stop it. No news for me. Excuse me while i throw up.... [/QUOTE]
