I was watching an old episode of Cops a couple months ago, and this man, who appeared to be in his early-to-mid 20s, was caught trying to steal. The cops were asking him questions about why he was doing what he was doing, and the man began crying and staring at the ground, and... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
A common statement is that we want whatever is best for our children. I read that 1 out of every 2 children live in poverty. So, that statement is not actually being lived and is clearly not a real priority in this current system that we’ve all allowed and accepted to exist as... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
I was watching something a few weeks ago about pneumonia in this area where everyone lived in poverty. The conditions were horrible, all the children were sick often, many dying — not just from pneumonia, but the focus of what I was watching was specifically on that point. One... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
The following quotes are from this article: “Some HIV-positive patients in Swaziland are so poor they have resorted to eating cow dung before taking anti-retroviral drugs, Aids activists say. The drugs do not work on an empty stomach, so patients have to use the dung – mixed w... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
About 3 years ago, I was going down this street, and I noticed a house where 3 large dogs were being kept in this tiny fenced-in space — together. This space was so tiny that the dogs were trying to push themselves off of each other. They were all letting out this strained bar... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
Max, a then-homeless man in Utah, got the news around 2 weeks ago that he now has a “significant” amount of money. He inherited it from a wealthy brother, who died in 2010. “He’ll no longer be living on the street or in abandoned storage sheds.” … “He’ll be able to have a norm... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
Why aren’t more atheists in significant leadership positions in this world? Would it matter if there were? Only if they are interested in real solutions. “An atheist loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god. An atheist accepts that heaven is something for which we sho... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
In a recent interview, Stephen W. Hawking said the following about “Heaven” / the “afterlife”: “…a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.” Is the afterlife-Heaven a “fairy story”? The idea of going to an afterlife-Heaven as a reward for apparently being a “good person” by... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
There’s been an increase in the amount of people fleeing by sea from North Africa. “One in 10 migrants fleeing conflict in Libya by sea is likely to drown or die from hunger and exhaustion in appalling conditions during the crossing.”[*] They make their voyages on insufficient... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
“We yelled, ‘We are peaceful! Peaceful!’ The women and children were attacked just like the rest of us,” he said. “They moved in as soon as the media left us. They knew what they’re doing.” (Mahmoud Mansouri, a protester, in reference to his experience with the police) “They w... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
Bailouts do not, and will not, solve anything — not for Greece, not for anyone. A bailout is an attempt to “rescue”; trying to rescue the system will always result in failure. The focus is not on the actual problem, and obviously the cause of that problem is ignored as well. T... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
A recent study found that the amount of deliberate head injuries to babies DOUBLED during the recent recession. Database research showed a 101% increase. There was also a notable rise in more extensive injuries, causing a rise in deaths and severe brain injuries. (Study conduc... —angelapagano.wordpress.com
