So basically,
"We donate millions to one country before making sure we've spent enough on blasting seven shades of shit out of another OMFG isn't this appalling?"

And to answer your question: the thing that annoys me most about Facebook is the barrage of slack-jawed nincompoops who have trouble coping with the concept that I'm not on Facebook.

"Oh my god, how do you cope? How do you have a social life?" They cry.
"I cope perfectly well, thank you, and the friends I want to see have my 'phone number and/or email address and will use either of those to contact me if they want to see me," I reply, before smacking them across the face with my Aldiss Lamp.

The exact same argument can be made about funding the arts
funding cancer treatments to prolong life, having to pay taxes towards schools when you don't actually have a child in school and pretty much anything else.

i.e. It is an argument so full of holes I used it to drain my gnocchi last night.

haha I might write that.
The thing that annoyed me most is that I'm sure it's only because it's Pakistan, because the person who's posted it is from the tiny village I used to live in where they're all inbred racist farmers who don't like outsiders.
