Kidnappers on the Loose!

6/18/2018

0 Comments

 
More than 2,000 innocent children have been separated at the United States border at Trump’s command.
The parents have been lied to about the locations of their children and given fake ‘find your children’ numbers.
The children have been sleeping on cheap mattresses on a concrete floor with only cellophane blankets.

If a group of strange men and women took your children and placed them in a place like that, cold and in a place with an uncanny similarity to a prison camp, how would you feel?
Many say that being separated, isolated, cold, hungry, and heartbroken is healthier for the children, that it is like a summer camp.
In summer camps, children are there because they want to be there. They eat hot food, sleep in warm beds, and can talk to their parents whenever they want.
This is the opposite of summer camp.
 
It is a slow death.

Does this sound like science fiction, like some sick horror story of the future? If you thought it was, (probably not) it is, indeed, real. *Screams* this is basically kidnapping! They are forcing mothers and fathers to give up their children to a bunch of random strangers! Why would people even allow this!? “HUUUEHHH Mexico is FULL of PEDOBEARS and KIDNAPPERSSS.” Well, it seems like the opposite for them… we are the kidnappers.

Who would think that heartbreak, suffering and separation anxiety would make children happy? It’s not like you are taking ‘school is stupid, we want more toys’ brats and placing them in a bouncy castle full of stupidly expensive toys and video games, no-no-no-no-no. You are ripping close family bonds apart.

People are just permitting this because such child abuse is being carried out by their leaders. Why!? Why do people do this? Just because it’s a person in power who made the decision doesn’t mean EVERYTHING that they say is good and kind.

People can be strange like this. Why can’t we stand up against what is wrong? Why do our thoughts of what is good and evil get clouded by the status of the people who act them out? We should just judge by actions, not by looks or statuses.

Aren’t we supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves? Aren't we taught in school to treat all who are different equally?  It seems we have a lot of wolves in sheep’s clothing in our leadership…

My solution to this problem is simply to put aside our differences. We’re all part of the human race, aren't we? Let’s not judge people by their ethnicity, what country they live in, and the color of their skin. We should just be kind and fair to one another.

Nothing good about war!

Personally, I think that war is not a good thing at all! We are one human family, homo sapiens sapiens, and we should not kill each other like spiteful microbiomes of bacteria! We're not lions, who kill each other to survive, we are humans who have persuasion and trading, we don't need to take goods or spread ideas by force! If humans are supposed to be so smart, why are we using war instead of peaceful methods anyways? 
   Many countries spend lots of money on producing weapons and explosives instead of... oh, I don't know, ACTUALLY HELPING THEIR CITIZENS? Why don't world leaders who were voted by their people to make their country better try to fund medical research, scientific innovations, making food cheaper and available, or lifting people out of the poverty line? Heck, some war-torn COUNTRIES have 80% OF THEIR POPULATION IN POVERTY! HOW CAN FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS JUST LET THIS SLIDE? WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE COUNTRIES LIKE THOSE BETTER FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE IN! AFTER ALL, WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER FOR THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE TO HAVE HEALTHY, EDUCATED PEOPLE INSTEAD OF DYING, STARVING CITIZENS? :(
    
Oh, it controls the population you say? Well, that's false! In the past, deaths were common. Disease and starvation were killing people left and right. Birth rates went up to make sure AT LEAST one child survived to adulthood. But as places modernized and sanitation became safer, fewer people were dying. Guess what happened next? Birth rates went out the roof! The population was shooting high, but slowly birth rates started to go back down. Triplets and twins were rarer. Soon, the population will be completely stable. The population will control itself! Even if it couldn't, that's still no reason to make people suffer and die. That is just a cruel thing to do! With that in mind, humans should stop killing each other and start helping each other.
    If we are all human beings living in the same home, planet earth, why can't we just get along? Why can't we just put our differences aside and just love each other for who we are? Why do we cause suffering to each other for no reason? We all should just give peace a chance. It would make the lives better for everyone. (  ◕ヮ◕) ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
