Its Our Responsibility!
Its our reponsibility that...
  • Over a billion people across the globe live without access to clean, safe drinking water.
  • Every 15 seconds a child dies from a disease caused by inadequate or lak of water.
  • On average a person in the UK uses 16x more water than a person in Africa.
  • Over 2 million people are trafficked each year. Over half of them are children.
  • In Africa there are over 13 million children orphaned because of HIV/aids.
  • Rich countries give £9 million a day in world aid. Thats quite good BUT! they take over £1.3 billion in debt every day.

Heres what you can do to make the world a better place...

  • Stop taking second best for an awnser and keep pushing for social justice.
  • Buy fair trade products wherever possible.
  • Boycott as many bad companies as possible ( i.e. Coca Cola, Nestle and Nike)
  • Help prevent climate change by recycling and conserving energy.

Hi Thomas, I saw you at THQ yesterday but couldn't say hello cos I was in the middle of a computer course there.

i know the question isn’t for me but I’m going to give you my opinion, hope you don’t mind… you can delete it if you want

Ironically the bile says 'turn the other cheek', so a good Christian should never seek revenge, and really, shouldn't be hitting them in the first place 'love your neighbor as yourself'. In saying this, the right thing to do would be to not hit them again.

On the other had, the bible also says 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth', so going on this teaching the right thing to do is to seek revenge and get people back, even if it means hitting them a second time.

Rhonda:

ARRR!

Shame you were too busy Rhonda. Hope being a Cadet is going well and that Bram is still calling you by your frst name instead of mrs Cadet!

I will pray for you as you journey on your new path with GOD!!

Sarah:

Feel free to comment on anything!

Josh:

I personally don't think anyone should be hitting anyone in the first place so hopefully a situation doesn't exceed to that.

I beleive its merely a metaphor. I think it just means that you should how people that violence doesn't work.

It's a cool saying though!!
