Madonna Steals Two More African Children From Malawi

[Autumnlicious]

Because people in more affluent countries can share in their quality of life with children in dire need of a family?

And it is more likely those affluent countries are Western with enough wealth that well-meaning celebrities can navigate the international adoption system and adopt.

You're right, Madonna's actions do very little to address the core problem.

Here's a fucking revolutionary idea - why don't you put aside the rich white woman legally adopting kids and focus on, you know, the core problem itself?

[Edwardo Piet]

But Iro that makes no sense!

Because EVERYONE knows that the core of the problem is legal adoption not illegal kidnapping! Stop putting the cart before the horse, man!

Why are 1st World countries more affluent?  Is there any material connection between 1st World affluence and 3rd World poverty?  I cover those questions briefly in post #5.

Right, I acknowledged that the adoption agencies often know.  
You are accusing the adoptive parent(s) of the crime, though.  That is what everyone in this thread is calling you out on.

No one is disagreeing that child trafficking of any kind is terrible.  You are repeatedly setting up a strawman and knocking it down.  Change the title of the thread, and discuss the actual issues (stop dragging Madonna and other celeb parents into it), and you'll probably get a much better discussion.

Well, if adoptive parents are that stupid not to know and do even a simple Google search on the subject, I suggest they crawl out from whatever rock they've been living under.  And when somebody charges you $30k+ for a child from Africa, don't just a few red flags come up in a would-be adopters mind?

No, what's going on here, is that most posters are coming to Madonna's, et al, defense no matter what factual information is put in their faces.  And there're very good concrete reasons for that.

I put up no straw man, so dont even go there, unless you learn the definition of it.

Ignorance itself is not a crime.

However, I see you have no interest in acknowledging your mistakes.  You are right and everyone else is wrong. Good luck persuading anyone of anything with that mindset.  

Carry on.

OMG, just looked and Jolie adopted from Cambodia and Vietnam also. It's not just an African conspiracy but world wide. But then I heard Angelina is not good at math so that may help explain things. 

And holy shit, AJ and BP sold pictures of their first biologic and donated the 7.6 million in proceeds to UNICEF. It's a fucking racket. God damn capitalists!

@ Fred

Stop being a dense obnoxious moron and recognize that this makes sense:

And this reminds me, if Madonna is so found of black orphan children, aren't there plenty to choose from in London?  Would save her the trip.  Well, she would have to get off her butt and take a limo ride downtown to see some...

You clearly don't give two fucks about actual child trafficking and are only interested in slamming Madonna.
