Homeless Doll.Welcome to the American way.
Why would a parent buy a doll like this for there child? They grow up to fast as it is.
I have had several experiences with christian charities in the past 4 years. Most were fronts for criminal activities. The best was an abominable waste of money .
A worthy charity will not hesitate or make you feel uncomfortable asking to see their financial records and IRS reports. You owe it to yourself, and to the people you are trying to help to READ THE RECORDS.
The US... I get bile up my throat thinking about it. It just needs to go away. Fortunately soon it will.
Show how one can help homeless people by taking your kids with you to donate and assist organizations which are working to help people, such as the Seventh-day Adventist Church or the Salvation Army, especially around the Holiday Season. Love is "work in action."
Both are very small or insignicant movements in my country. But still.... some 7th day adventists are in fact paying my tuition for school, as a matter of fact, and I'll probably never be able to repay them.
Besides, we don't need those kinds of organizations to mop up the societal rejects - I live in a country where we have wellfare, social workers and free housing . We don't have homeless people, unless they really want to be homeless. I know it's different in the social darwinist states of notgiveadamn.

Do you like government doing everthing for you?And we do have welfare,social workers and free housing also in the USA.And yes we have home less people here also thats because they don't wont government in there life.Should we drag them to free house?Most people here in the US try to make it on there own with out the government.
The US is a systemically ruthless society , and yes, that is largely because of the conceit of people who set out to do things on their own. That is a choice, good for you.
But still, how many are in US prisons out of desperation?
Let's give you an example - if I were in the US, I'd be angry. I'd want to get even, and I'd feel left out. Thing is, what should I be able to do to protest. In fact I would be able to do lots of things. For instance - me saving up for a trip to a few African countries, do a little research, collect a dozen or so insect eggs and plant seeds here and there. Then make a road trip across the US, drop those seeds here and there, under cultivated conditions . Such a little act of protest would end up costing the US tens of billions of damages. And that is just one example. I have a list of over ten low investment, high impact little protests I could do, each causing massive damage to all aspects of public life.
Think about it, every year it becomes easier and easier to cause widespread damage and every year you require less and less resources. Arguable a whole lot of people are left out of the loop, and basically at rock bottom desperation. What will stop those millions to one day say, "screw all of you" and do the above or any of a million variants?
Can any society afford to sustain a widespread layer of completely disenfranchised people in the future? Or you want to throw everyone who might have a grudge in a concentration camp?
OK whats your grudge.
What my grudge is not relevant. Whether or not I even have grudges, is immaterial.
What IS material is that a society -any society- that leaves out people from the benefits of society, will either polarize these people into crime , vandalism, despair or (worst case scenario) nihilism. My point is that emerging technologies can turn vandalism and nihilism into enormously dangerous costs for society. My point also is that the old systems to treat these don't work anymore. You cannot apprehend and lock up every single person who drops an anonymous brick on the cars from an overpass. You cannot apprehend anyone who drains a liter of certain chemical additives in a public toilet (and causing a water cleaning crisis costing half a million euro/dollar with every incident). In the future this will only get worse - an investment of some time on the internet , a few friends in far away countries, a few DHL packages send here and there - all in all an nearly untracable investment of a fewhundred euro/dollar, and you have a major disease epidemic, a food crop crisis, a habitat infection, a vermin epidemic or worse.
What is worse, there comes a point when people are so effectively left out of the loop, and feel effectively useless, I personally can hardly blame them for what they do, especially if they don't cause human lives, but use simple sabotage to inflict significant corporate damage.
To asking me what grudge I beside the point. Sure I have grudges. But I have imagination too.
