Serious post: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-bottom-line/id264340697?mt=2&i=372881639 This is a great radio show and this week they cover the Olympics. Definitely worth a listen for the eyewatering sums of money that it takes to host a successful Olympic Games, and how screwed Rio will be after them.

Good on that guy for helping those less fortunate. I gotta wonder though how effective it is preaching Christ's love in an area where everyone prays daily to the one hundred foot Jesus living in the mountains

I also did missionary work in Brazil. We were trying to convert the Catholics to Methodists. There were no non-Catholic or even non-religious people anywhere I was invited to build an orphanage, not for the religious indoctrination stuff. I was supposed to finish one dorm and all we got done instead was one wall and a staircase. When locals found out there were American missionaries in town, they raised their prices astronomically high that we couldnt afford the bricks and stuff we needed to build the orphanage. We also brought a medical team and medicine that did do a lot of good work and gave away free meds and eyeglasses, but it was all done in the Methodist church in whatever village we were in just as a reminder that "this Methodist church got your back, yo"

I mean, no lie in middle school my church youth group went to rural buttfuck Tennessee and helped out at local food pantries, cleaned up litter, and played with handicapped kids. All of them already went to church though and were like yup God is good. Honestly I was glad of it, even then I was starting to think church was gay and I didn't want to lie to little retarded kids just trying to go for a swim

I just assume every American Olympic athlete is a sexy spoiled rear end in a top hat. Who else can dedicate their life to a game? I assume there's no money in it til you hit the big endorsements, the rest have to get by on someone else's dime

re: humanitarian stuff, from a logistics and labor point of view how is sending unqualified people overseas to "build" something anything but show. Surely you could hire local builders and workers for a tenth of the price and make them build the drat thing ? It's just as valid a reason to travel outside of your comfort zone and do something worthwhile and meeting poors etc. But I always find it a bit condescending to say "Mm sure we lilly white people dug a well in africa" when africans would probably be able to dig a well just a good under competent supervision idk

idk the white people probably bring equipment and stuff that just doesn't exist there because there's no infrastructure to support it (nor are there necessarily reliable contractors available) i assume anyway if they are skilled medical professionals offering dental/vision work for free that's always good, there's probably not many doctors available in a lot of these places or if they are the costs are probably prohibitive. hell come do that same mission work in poverty stricken areas in the USA, it'd be much appreciated. dental work here is stupid expensive. e: plus there's probably a factor of rustling up donations from rich white folk back home and if you have some photos and do a trip it looks a lot better than 'we just hired some dudes there to do it' Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jul 27, 2016 |

There are actual credentialed, certified professional engineer groups that do functional, vital and impossible to quickly locally source, water works and infrastructure projects akin to Doctors Without Borders. But they are probably dwarfed by an order of magnitude by the number of western teenagers that need college application, resume polishing and jesus aggrandization credits. Its only going to get worse thanks to the new frontiers of personal celebrity that social media has opened up. I expect actual charitable donations to drop as younger generations are trained to both expect a retail-type wristband-getting reward for every small cash donation and they place more value in DIY type personal enrichment through their charity when in many instances giving someone qualified the money and staying the gently caress away is vastly more beneficial. Basically everything is hosed. And what we should do is stop shipping over bulk clothing refuse to allow a local textiles industry to grow and end farm subsidies to allow developing agrarian cultures easier access to food export markets. But both of those are a bridge too far so they'll continue to get our religious zealots that just want to hand out candy in exchange for memorizing a prayer. shadow puppet of a fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Jul 27, 2016 |

Less athletes = more chance of winning. "Yeah, I won gold in Rio!" - but there were only two people taking part, the others had been kidnapped, refused to go, or had Cholera at the time of the competition.

That article on the last page mentioned that healthy people might not immediately be sick due to the superbacteria, but it could stay in their system for years and then spring up when their immune system is compromised from something else. How much do you want to bet that in a year or two you'll have a bunch of has been athletes trying to sue someone because they ended up developing the plague during Flu Season 2017, screaming about how nobody could have known and they were lied to by _______.

unpacked robinhood posted:re: humanitarian stuff, from a logistics and labor point of view how is sending unqualified people overseas to "build" something anything but show. This is a big part of it; a lot of youth do it to pad their resumes. I can conveniently say I went as a dirty old man with a career at home; I went because my dad was invited (he was a doctor, not religious) and I thought it'd be a buddy trip getting along with my dad. The group did bring a lot of doctors but very few engineers and professional contractors signed up, so they took me because I had the skills, just didnt do it professionally. Obviously in Brazil there's 100s of people more qualified to do the job I did (mostly mason work), but I did do it for free and I was working under a professional contractor (who was also working for free) When we were building the dorms, we lost 3 walls in the process. Free labor: you get what you pay for. When we couldnt afford the bricks we needed to finish the walls, we made our own; ours were so brittle they would crush in your hand. I am proud to say I'm the only person who completed a wall! Christ was with me I did meet a lot of youth who were interested in becoming pastors and church folk and such, so I dont think its wrong for them to do it, but most of the kids were there literally explaining to me that missionary work looked great when applying to colleges. I just nodded and praised the lord ( i also lied on my missionary application - they needed a letter from a pastor or clergyman and I told them that NYC was a city of heathens and me and my friends meet up each weekend and play the guitar and talk about our experiecnes with christ)

I do love how militarized the torch runs have become. I saw one in the 80's and it was I think a cop car and a pair of police motorcycles a good distance away. Then a few years back we had chinese commando units guarding the torch on its way through Canada. Soon the "run" going to take place on a tracked vehicle enclosed in a bullet proof lexan bubble with a sniper team on top and counter-sniper teams commandeering homes and rooftops days prior to the torch passing by.

Inferior Third Season posted:rich teenagers that do a summer of poverty tourism are the loving worst. when they come back, instead of realizing how good they have it, they just dismiss all of the concerns of the poor at home because they understand "true poverty". This is a good point, I think we should send the "America Poor" to those actual 3rd world shitholes so they can feel a lot better about themselves. Think how much better off they will be, having that bit of worldly experience.
