Well, I'm not sure if this is permitted, but I would like it if any admins would just let this slide. This past Sunday, I went to church to listen to the sermon that my pastor had set up for us (youth group). Well, we eventually got to the point where he began talking about Sudan, a part of the world that is infested with hate and problems. One of these problems is rape, which many of you guys might be aware of.

He then went into a story of where a little girl, an innocent young girl that simply wanted a taste of education, asked her mother for $4 so that she could buy school clothing to attend school. Her mother, who was behind her daughter's decisions, took the act of walking down to the nearest field that night in hopes of working to earn the money her daughter dired so much for. Well, as she was walking, she passed a group of men in the army, who decided to have a little fun by shooting her legs, where they watched her struggle to her feet. They then decided to "toy" with her, which eventually lead to a bullet to her head.
I thought about this yesturday, and couldn't help getting the idea out of my head that we are blessed with all of these necessities that we hardly use. An example of this that I was able to come up with are video cards. Video cards, which cost all the way up to 600$, are only helpful when playing games. Heck, even a 100$ card could get anyone by their gaming needs for maybe a year. I am in no way saying anything bad about people that have worked hard for their money, but I just can't help but say that with 600$, a whole community in third world countries can be changed. I am a college student, with small amounts of money, but I figure that if I can show people that I am willing to give up something small for such a big outcome, maybe some of you others will see that there are people dying out there, when we are sitting at home, spending thousands on computer parts and other things that we only purchase for their fancy name.
Thus, I am asking that you think twice about going out to eat or buying that Lacoste shirt. Eating at home and donating the money that you would have spent will feed families for days, giving them hope that there are people who actually care. If you guys do contribute through a church or other form of rescue mission, I will doubling your guys' money and to prove this, I will talk this over with my pastor, where he can send any of you guys that are doubting me more information.
Btw, I am selling my X850XT, Barton 2400 Mobile, Barton 3200, Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, TI4200, and a Maxtor 60 Gig HD on ebay, in which 75% will go towards funding the less benefit. I will prove this with a check that is written out to the program my church is associated with (30 Hour Famine), and will even go to the extent of recording it and putting it up online if I have to...
