Canada officially welcomes first 10,000 Syrian refugees

let me guess...babies first epiphany that you need to save the world?

the West is rich from exploiting the global south

Huh, TIL: The nation of Ireland once had an empire that exploited Africa. TIL: Poland colonized India. Norway conquered South America! Oh wait...none of those existed

Stop lumping "the West" in with a the British or French empires. Also, those empires eventually went broke, so your argument is moot.

Also, those empires also gave a hell of a lot more. What, did you think India invented the computers, telephones, automobiles...No the British empire give it to them.

Also, "Hey, rest of the world, you're welcome for the vaccines, chemistry and agriculture methods we invented, currently keeping you and your giant populations alive!" -- The West

Did you forget about the good they gave?

when you stop buying clothes made by Vietnamese children paid cents on the hour

Oh yeah, I forgot that I was in charge of the Vietnamese government. I have no power to change the wages they receive. Why even bring this up?

stop filling your car with gasoline that is both cheap and available

You're suggesting everyone stop going to work? Are you also suggesting that "the West" is the only place using gasoline lol?

Like an adult you have to accept responsibility for your actions

TIL: I'm actually 400 years old and I did all of these exploits!

If you want your toys

Feel free to stop using the computer anytime.

actually that's exactly how responsibility works- moral responsibility in this case. Adults accept the consequences of their actions and clean up their own mess. Petulant children do not

Once again, instead of wasting time on a computer, feel free to throw it away. Since your morals are just oh so holy, you should throw it away right now! But I bet you won't..;) because you're all talk.
