Lots of OIC nations on that list…and lots of its inhabitants as immigrant victims in non OIC nations as well. Huh.

Parellex view, once again if you read more carefully, you wouldn’t get things wrong as often. No one mentioned the race card.
I thought it disrespectful to compare paying taxes to the horrors of slavery.
That is like comparing a sliver to someone losing a limb.

Ummm…Pulling the “race card thing” just DOESN’T WORK ON PARALLEX VIEW….If you can’t distinguish a statement based upon political bondage because of out-of-control-spending by liberal dems, like pelosi/reid/obama, that is being passed on to middle class taxpayers and future generations as opposed to bondage of another kind well…..nice try though…

Cadmus, I agree with you. Is it the need for instant gratification or feelings of entitlement or what? For example, when you read about the amounts of illegal drugs sold here to people of all income levels and educational backgrounds, it makes you wonder why they choose this behavior. Especially knowing that the money is going to fund the violent drug cartels or in the case of prostitution, slavery of children and young people.

“Newcomers to the list include Libya, Yemen, and Venezuela.”
People, this has NOTHING to do with politics, so don’t even go there.
(Meanwhile, somewhere in the West Wing, an impassioned plea is overheard… “See Congress, we’re bombing HUMAN TRAFFICKERS for crying out loud!” And more discretely, a Drones for Caracas human rights campaign is being planned, just in case.)
