It is so damn weird that there are tens of thousands of American and Anglo-European soldiers in Afghanistan, but we have no soldiers left to put peace to DRC, a place largely renowned for child soldiers and never-ending war, including those exceptionally despicable leaders of the Lord's Resistance Army. If you read the Wikipedia article about them you'll need a bowl to throw up in, they are among if not the worst army in the world by their standards of human worth abuses.

There needs to be a world-lead interfering in the country. I know it's healing now, but still it needs time and peace to heal properly, which can only be done by proper security and a steady supply of wares, education and people to cultivate the land.

Don't you just hate the human race?

"Don't you just hate the human race?"


A remarkably revealing statement! Does this question also express the self-hatred resulting from an intrinsic disorder as taught in Catholic moral thought?

_________
“In the pastoral field, these homosexuals must certainly be treated with understanding and sustained in the hope of overcoming their personal difficulties and their inability to fit into society. Their culpability will be judged with prudence. But no pastoral method can be employed which would give moral justification to these acts on the grounds that they would be consonant with the condition of such people. For according to the objective moral order, homosexual relations are acts which lack an essential and indispensable finality. In Sacred Scripture they are condemned as a serious depravity and even presented as the sad consequence of rejecting God.[18] This judgment of Scripture does not of course permit us to conclude that all those who suffer from this anomaly are personally responsible for it, but it does attest to the fact that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered and can in no case be approved of.” (Underlining added)

no. I hate leaders who do not take proper responsibility for the on-goings in the world.

I'm not against rebellion or armed resistance when your freedom is abused, but many of those African armies, now especially around that area, are not rebellions or armed resistance. They are barbarians who think that because they have a gun they can do whatever they want, and they create dire situations where all parties become desperate and generations of people are going to suffer from psychological and physical abuse. You know that in those areas rape against women and children is considered normal? Sexual slaves are not uncommon, widely used, with an emphasize on "used" as in using a toy, by the LRA and their neighbours. Men are hunted as animals and eaten for magical powers.

Hell is a place, and it is East Congo along parts of their neighbouring countries.
