Nice thought but these things still happen.

This guy is still an ass though.
I'm pretty sure it was only in referrence to America. We know it goes on elsewhere.

I watched one of those christian channels where they take the money you send them and they head to the Sudan to buy people out of slavery with it.

35 USD if I recall. I wonder if they have the foresight to realize that day after that the ex-slave will be right back where they were and the slave trader is 35 USD richer?
