From Gwinnett County, GA - Gwinnett school bus driver dedicates time to making wooden desks for families in need (dated August 30, 2020, emphases mine):
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A desk is not something normally on a back-to-school shopping list. But with so many families doing virtual learning, it has become a much-needed item.Gwinnett County mother Michelle Minor and her sons realized this and got to work.From her suburban garage and driveway, Michelle Minor and her sons are cranking out as many wooden desks as time allows.[...]The orders have come pouring in. Some families are paying for them. Others are donating, so families in need can have one built.“I’ve probably got about 30-40 desks that I need to make, and I just emailed this out last Wednesday,” Minor said.Minor does [all this] in between driving a Gwinnett County school bus. Her older son Skylar uses his math skills to help his mom out while third grader Chase does what he can too....

I am sick and tired beyond words of the constant drumming that we Americans are terrible people.
We. Are. Not.
Overall Americans are a good and generous people!
People everywhere are kind. America doe have the unique task of explaining Donald Trump, who has probably never had a generous thought in his life.
ReplyDeleteI jut had my exercise session. Sorry, Freestinker, it went very well.
DeleteWhat's it like to have insects running around between your ears all the time? Do you dream of Donald J Trump, the greatest President since George Washington and wake up every day in a cold sweat? lol Darn libtards sure are whacky.
DeleteIt's time your learned thatI'm not the only person who regards you as a TURD among men, Canardo.
DeleteAmericans, which excludes liberals, are very generous people. If we made the 'news', folks would probably be surprised how many of us there are.
ReplyDeleteYes, Kid. And most of us are generous even when we don't have much to give.
DeleteI've found that to be true in narly eighty years of living, loving, and enjoying what-could-only-be-described-as a "Checked Career."
Well that was uplifting. And YES, a very generous and kindhearted people, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteYea, and when I talk to lefty's from other Country's,
ReplyDeleteafter they snarl at the goings on here, I all ways ask them who gives the Most 'MONEY' after a natural disaster, anywhere around the World?
They have to humble themselves-and reply: yes the USA is
A Generous Nation!
Just ask any Puerto Rican.
DeleteAnother country gave Puerto Rico more money and relief than America? Which?
Deletebtw - What did they do with the $91b we gave them?
DeleteEnquiring minds wish to know
DeleteLike in Haiti, did they funnelt all through the Clinton Foundation?
DeleteKind and generous individuals are quite capable of developing & sustaining systems of government with all sorts of biasses and forms of discrimination baked into it. Acknowledgement of those biasses should not be taken as a personal insult. I think the "constant drumming" you are tired of is only kept up because the obvious truth it expresses is so consistently denied & discredited. When the counter to "black lives matter" is some variation of "shut up, America is the greatest country in all history!" what on earth followup do you expect other than a louder, shriller (more violent?) exhortation that "BLACK LIVES MATTER"?
ReplyDeleteTrump's impassiveness is IMO calculated to rile up the activists. What puzzles me is how Trump is managing to spin the riots as anything other than a stain on his own governing record.
We are a federal system of 50 states. The federal government has nothing to do with the governance of states and cities.
DeleteI believe you're right, but only in a strict sense. Do you expect that, had any of the other Presidents you have known been in office now, they would have refrained from responding to protests on this scale (if only in rhetoric)?
DeleteJez,
DeleteYour OWN anti-American "By Ass" based on no genuine knowledge of who we are and how we operate sticks out a mile.
Franco, I know I have bias and areas of profound ignorance, but I do not mistake either of these for virtues which is something you are wont to do sometimes.
DeleteHow much of a reaction would *you* expect any recent President to have made to these protests by now?
If you read political speech from the past (early 1900's and before that)and the way our Great Grandfathers and Grandmothers talked to their Politicians, and see some videos from back then - that show how in today's times, we sound like pussycats. Especially with this 'I'm Offended by what you said'--and all this "PC" crap. It is a shame that most of todays Parents try and shield their Children from everything is really sickening that todays younger generation has no backbone and thin skin.
DeleteThe Black Folks are tricked (quite a few are not)
into believing what ever the Media tells them. S0 Sad.
How can the Officers be declared Racist when the Mayors and Police Chiefs are Black.
Emotions are a terrible thing to waste; and cause health problems.
Kind-hearted people exist everywhere, but much of generosity and concern for others is cultural. Six of the rated top ten are English speaking countries. Of those, the US is ranked #1 followed by Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK. It has nothing whatever to do with politics or who their leaders are, but I am not surprised that the conversation has taken that turn. I expected such from Ducky, with his head full of insects and a black heart, but I expected better from Jez ...
ReplyDeleteMy response hopefully provides additional background and/or an alternative perspective to one or more of the points raised in the original article. I don't know what you expected of me, but I offer nothing more than this.
DeleteI suppose you base your cliched reply on the World Giving Index which ranks countries on the basis of three questions.
DeleteThe U.S. ranks highest because it polls much higher on the question "have you helped a stranger?"
Now jut what that means is not clear.
