Rafael O asked:


I mean, we love to work ’cause we get paid. We love our families ’cause they take care of us when we are sick. We love our child just ’cause they’re the good side and hope for all of our frustrations.

AquAzul asked:


Those regimes were brutal; violated human rights constantly; assassinated thousands of opponents; tortured; many thousands of people disappeared without a trace. Everything done with the blessing of the USA.

Is there any good excuse for that? I cannot think of a single one, but you might think of one.

Thanks a lot.
