1. Have you ever been to Detroit?

"Do we turn our backs on Children?"

3. Way to sink the post...

way to go pal

[Romulox]

4. "We don't turn our backs on CHILDREN" is a terrible argument. Cause yeah we do.

[lame54]

5. You're right...

let's deny this petition - it's silly to even try

[Romulox]

6. I live just outside the poorest city in America. Sorry to let reality become a factor. nt

9. pssst...

all replies boot the thread to the top...not sink it. The fact is, "we," as in the U.S., DO turn our back on children. Every day.

Pointing that out to the OP doesn't mean that one won't be signing the petition.

10. At 39,000 posts I thought you would have noticed...

by now that a cynical response right out of the gate often kills or hijacks a thread - the OP'er is just trying to get something done here and didn't mean to marginalize injustices happening in this country

[LWolf]

11. Of course not.

I don't think you'll find the thread killed or hijacked.

Pointing out how badly the U.S. treats children on a daily basis SUPPORTS action; it doesn't detract.

2. Of course not! At least, not until about ten minutes after...

they emerge from the womb.

8. Republicans do not care for

Anything or anyone but money. We however. Are not them. We do not leave children behind.
