"Make a Wish" foundation.
MY WISH is to have a CF City.
"WIC in particular I've even seen them put up huge booths in public buildings like libraries, explaining how they'll help you out if you want to make a child."
And yet NO ONE will help me build my Evil Robot Army to take over the world! pfft!
"I understand children are a horrible pain"
TRUE!
" and extremely difficult to care for"
True! AND THEY SMELL!
"Are those charities actually good in that they undo some of the damage that all the bad parents cause? "
I dunno how they CAN unless they take away the kids form the SHITTY BREEDERS and give those kids to GOOD parents.
"Is helping children the best way to solve the problems that children face, or can you provide a more complex explanation for what's going on?"
Hell if I know!
