In Defence of Third World Debt Relief: As it Stands, We Look Like Dicks


I believe in third world debt relief. Fuck it. We have everything, they have nothing. What’re we gonna do, watch the little bastards choke to death or what? Look how horrifically skinny so many of them are when they die and how grotesquely fat so many of us are when we die. They look like fucking Auschwitz victims and we look like that big fat dude in ‘Seven’ that was forced to eat himself to death. Y'know, the one the serial killer set up to represent the deadly sin of Gluttony? What better evidence of a fucked up status quo? And i don't see any way of denying it, bubba.

You have onboard GPS systems in your shoes, they have dust and seeds, maybe some rice and they’re being taxed to hell for every mote of it by their governments. Do you know in some places they tax the very same water that some people’s ancestors have sustained themselves from since the beginning of time?

Fuck it. We look like dicks. All of us. Even you. Chew on that, friend. No way they can ever pay it back, especially with the fucked up interest we’re layin’ on ‘em. Here’s the motto: “Join the globalization scene! Be poor forever! Like you have a choice anyway! Hah!”

I’m of a mind to give a hand to these fuckers, you know? But you know what? You don’t just give money to their politicians because what do we know about politicians? Right. They almost always take the money. At every possible junction. SO how do you circumvent that? You give ‘em infrastructure, if they’ll accept it. And you make it clear, you’re people ain’t free then neither are the sewer systems. Or the universities. Or the hospitals. Am I being crazy here? Ignore, if you will, the madman in the corner. For as long as you can bare it. The sheer weight of daily hypocrisy.

I say let's give ‘em a chance, not another half-century of debt.

Greed is also a Deadly Sin, you know that? Look it up.
