Someone posted on a debate forum I frequent that we shouldn't waste our time debating when there are so many starving, neglected children in the world.
I posted that I was becoming a foster parent, and wondered what she was doing for the starving, neglected children?
She replied that she donated money to Feed the Children. So I replied with a quote from the "American Institute of Philanthropy" how Feed the Children only gives 18% of the money donated to the children, and I felt I could do more by actually taking these children into my home and making sure that they were loved, safe and fed.
I am still awaiting her reply...
