Popular Post Sirbergan Posted June 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2014 "armed conflict", she said ...??? <DELETED>ing loony film star, knows nothing apart from self-promotion. Idiot. If you could get your head out of your own behind, I'm sure you would be able to recognize people for what the really are when they're actually trying to do good. She's adopted several children, her and Brad Pitt refuses to get married until marriage is a privilege available to everyone in the US, and I'm pretty sure she's done more for the less fortunate than you have done, and will ever do, in your life. Questioning her motives and criticizing her says more about yourself than it does about her, that's pretty certain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seesip Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thailand does not want them. She should be happy Thailand lets them squat on their land illegally. Maybe she should give them a ride to Bangladesh where they are from and talk Bangladesh into taking them back. genius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KED Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think her visit is a good idea but a bit far from home since 90,000 children from South America will be arriving illegally this month in America to become refugees. I can't help but wonder if she shouldn't be gathering some money to take care of the refugees at home instead of in Thailand. That's really a false choice. ALL refugees deserve support, both financial and political. Just because there are many refugee groups in the world doesn't mean you have to choose which to support.

dao16 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well, the refugee camps have been a mess along the lines of Guantanamo for years and years and everyone in the know knows it. If I go there and say something about the poor conditions, who cares? Where are the news articles and everything from Joe Schmoe's trip there? It may not actually look pretty watching the sausage being made, so to speak, but she goes there and the press follow and she does so with truckloads full of money (hers and that of others) with her. More impact than most of us could ever imagine having the power to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AnotherOneAmerican Posted June 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2014 Don't you just luv em; JT took off in her Private Plane to an undisclosed destination? Was JT flying the plane? She does a lot more than others do, and she works on a mirco level by adopting some childern. Not much said about trafficing, but then again needs to get out of the country? If people have time, go to one of your local services in Thailand and spend some time there as a volunteer. You may make someones life better for the day, and may change your life. Just a thought. All of us need to do more selfless acts, me included. Can someone explain to me the difference between child trafficking and adopting some foreign children and dragging them to the USA? Adopting a child as your own and giving them a warm loving home with all the things they need to develop is different to trafficking where the child may live in a shitehole, beg for food and no education whilst being rented out to rockspiders, forced to work 20 hours per day for nothing. The only reward they would get is a daily beating and the privilege to lick the soi dogs bowl. Hmmmm, Not sure I agree with taking a child from their home country, environment and family. Especially when the person doing the taking has spent serious time in mental institutions with mental health problems. Plenty of celebrities have played this game in the past (including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Mia Farrow), and it didn't work out all that well for the kids. Now if she were to move to the country of the children, set up housing, food, education and care for them, different game entirely. And before anyone asks, I have experienced this game from both ends. Just put one Thai girl through high school, university starting soon. Putting another one through high school, half way so far. Thinking of taking on a third, this time a boy. All Thais in Thailand, all have contact with their original families with the choice to return at any time they like. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudcrab Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Some should tell Angelina that when you visit a country your supposed to take a T shirt home! Only joking. This woman has used in fame to bring forward the plight of the displaced and the underprivileged . I have nothing but admiration for her! And to say she looks scary is a low blow considering losing both breasts to cancer and even then didn't hide it but inspired millions of women to have regular check ups! Absolute crap. Jolie never had breast cancer. She claimed to have a genetic disposition to maybe developing breast cancer. If she had both breasts removed and follow up reconstructive surgery in such a short period then she will be the only woman in the world to have managed such a thing. It isn't something that happens overnight no matter how big your bank balance Does anyone remember when she wasn't in the tabloids during this alleged period? I think you fawning leftie fools have all been had. It never happened. She is just another attention seeking brat who happens to have made a lot of money and now spends it stroking her own ego. She is an absolute fraud who collects kids as others collect coins or stamps. Oh, by the way I lost both my grandmother and a younger sister to breast cancer.

The stuttering parrot Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I didn't know that helping people out and bringing their plight in the spotlight would cause so much bitterness ! So let me get this straight your better off being poor and trying to help the poor because it seems if you've got plenty of money and your on the world stage then you just get castigated and lampooned for helping the poor. Talk about a no win situation she's in and has been in for 15 years and has risen to special envoy. Anyway great work and keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Johpa Posted June 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) In the post-Bono world, humanitarian causes and NGOs are dependent upon celebrity endorsements to raise money. I have been involved in groups advocating for the refugees and IDPs along the Thai-Burma border for nearly 20 years. One of the primary groups in Washington DC that advocated for this cause (USCB) had developed remarkable pollitical acumen but was able to raise little funding. The African famine relief folks in DC started with little political influence and were asking the Burma folks for advice, but once Bono got involved their purses began to bulge along with their political influence. The hapless Burmese folks were happy to get Walter Koenig (Chekov in the orginal Star Trek TV series) to visit one of the camps. So I salute MS. Jolie for taking the time to visit the Kachin IDP camp outside of Baan Nai Soi. I only wish that she had flown down to Mae Sot to have a photo opportunity with Dr. Cynthia at the Mae Tao clinic as well.

Why is it that the celebrities that are way out there sexually always drape themselves around children? That's when she was younger; have you ever done stupid things in the past? Haven't we all been idiots at some points in our lives. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's life. What has her over sexual past got to do with the good she is doing now? She wasn't harming anyone in the past, but herself. And I've never seen her sexually drape around her children, not once. So bizarre someone dislikes her because she was a bit wild in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALFREDO Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I used to live up in Mae Hong Son and during her last visit to the refugee camp. She wouldn't eat food prepared in the camp (take outs from a restaurant in town - mine ), brought her personal photographer to capture those magic do-gooding moments and her retinue manhandled the refugee camp newspaper reporter and photographer when they tried to get a shot and a few words for their newspaper. Her hosts, the UNHCR, were no better as they demanded other NGOs give up their best translators to them for free. Prima donnas the whole lot of them. After seeing how the whole lot operate and assume the western liberal way is the best way for everyone, all I can say is that they are modern day colonialists. "I used to live up in Mae Hong Son" It seems, reading your words, it is good for that area and "no loss" that you are gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, surely her mother's boyfriend shares the main crux of the blame, with her being 14. It was in the past. She was a wild child. I bet you like some singers that were a bit wild in the past or have you just been into good two shoes rock stars, that are in bed by 9pm?

Sorry to have hit a sore spot with you. I stand behind what I have said. It is your rite to disagree. Please give reason for it. We all lack knowledge in some area that does not make us less than intelligent. I speak only from personal knowledge of what is going on in the camps. Have no knowledge other than what is posted here about her actions in the camp nor do I care she is telling the world they need help. Do you disagree with that? Love her hate her or be indifferent to her it makes no difference to me. The people in the camps are the important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
