  • grm88:

    Learn what a satire is and then watch this. She is far from making fun of the topic.

    And feel free to leave the racism at the door next time.

  • FightGlobalPoverty:

  • necronomicjustice:

    Chola is a beautiful Spanish soal.

  • AskACholaTV:

    Please. NO! Anything but my SOAL!

  • Faris6526:

    ive done a satanistic ritual to force ur soal unto the devils path when u die, which would be soon.
    spanish bitches like u need to die!

  • FightGlobalPoverty:

    The developed world can wipe out massive diseases, severe malnutrition, and hunger for less than 1% of its income. $1 vaccines and food supplements can save the lives of 1/3 of humanity that live on less than $2 per day.

    Health agencies wiped out Smallpox in the 1970s.

    They wiped out Polio in the 1980s.

    Health agencies are now wiping out Measles.

    This is reducing child mortality around the world

  • Th3Th3if:

    FUCK YOU SUR X3 SOUTH SIDE!!

  • FightGlobalPoverty:

    These comments are too vicious.

    Askachola is making a very profound comment about capitalism. Huge parts of humanity are starving, but we are focused on acquiring more luxuries.

    The developed world can wipe out diseases killing 1/3 of humanity for a tiny faction of its income.

    The U.S. only donates 0.15% of its income to official development assistance; however, health agencies are wiping out diseases, such as smallpox, polio and measles, with $1 vaccines.

  • Dreambby:

    Umm.. If I were those children, I’d say fuck that laptop give me some food, shelter and medicine ! If you would give me a laptop I’d sell that shit and get some food for them!

  • katieontoast:

  • CommentorX:

    Great – thousands more online idiots with only a basic grasp of English or grammar spewing hate on YouTube’s comment boards. Exactly what we need.

  • AzaelHDaemon:

    The GRiD Compass was the first computer that literally turned me on. Up until that point, it was just Mary Ann…
