I guess the UN has the right to stick their nose in any third world area right? But seriously, months without water? What the gently caress?

When I dont pay my bills my services get shut off too. If it was a bunch of white families with delinquent bills they would get shut off too, except the tea party would be involved somehow.

You always hear about like, "oh, there's one person living on this block, eveyone else is dead or somewhere else," why don't they just take all those people and move them into one block? That way, getting water to all of them would be a lot cheaper, and maybe a cop or a fireman could show up when they needed one.

That's just the way he rolls.
Some 5 year old little African girl probably walks 10 miles every day to get water, and these guys are told "nar you don't have to pay any more" ?

[edit] Can I choose to not pay for food? That's a basic human right too, right?
