    largely the kids of military families, because the country that holds their military in so high regard, can’t be bothered to care about the people who happen to survive and especially their kids

    teaching kids to read is always the morally good choice

      Its actually good they dont care about veterans because veterans deserve no care

      and teaching kids to read in 1st world is good but it can be out done by the crime of supporting the us military

        No. Kids don’t have a choice what family they are born in. Helping them learn is always morally correct

          Never denied that, its just that accumulating capital and supporting military makes you worse.

      This is well founded worship and hence all OK. We only hate unfunded celebrity worship.

      Are people here worshipping Dolly Parton? Seems like people are pointing out the good things that she has done, because that acknowledgement encourages others to do good too.

      It’s fine to point out the bad things she’s done too, but I feel like you’re concerned about an issue that doesn’t really exist here

          Ofcourse you will trivialize death of brown children and white children reading books would seem more important to you. She has also donated to israel btw.
