What the Fuck is wrong with people?!
Alright, I have to make an entry because I'm fucking pissed!!!
I was just reading about Madonna adopting a Malawian boy. The country is a place of poverty where 900,000 children are impoverished and orphans. Madonna has spent a week there raising awareness on these children, many of whom are HIV positive. She filed to adopt a boy, David. David's mother died when he was one month old (he is now a year old) and has been in an orphanage ever since. David's father is happy that Madonna wants to adopt him because she can offer him every advantage of life, none of which he can offer. She has promised to bring him back for visits.
Now, there is an activist group who are trying to ban the adoption because it is not legal to adopt if you are not a citizen of Malawi. They feel is is against the law and they are bending it because Madonna is a celebrity.
BUT COME ON!!! This boy comes from nothing and HAS nothing. Madonna can offer him SO much and give him a wonderful life. Yes, I know there are thousands more children without the same advantage or offer, but at least one can be helped. I feel that these people are sick to protest the better fulfillment of a child's life!! What do they care? Are they trying to adopt kids and give them better lives? I mean, come ON people!! This boy is now going to have everything given to him and raised in a wonderful home.
I'm not so passionate about this because it's Madonna, I'm just passionate because any child who can get the chance at a better life fucking DESERVES it!! It's just that with Madonna, he gets so much more. His father even said he didn't know Madonna was a celebrity, that he just thought she was a nice Christian lady.
What do you think about this? Yeah, a law is a law, but really, laws can change and some laws are just fucked up, especially in some third world countries. I'm not trying to whitewash the world here, but really, this child can have a LIFE!
Anyway, what do you think? Am I silly?
