unbelievable...

literally. a few hours after an article comes out informing us that AIG sent a few of their executives to a $400,000 resort FOUR (4) DAYS AFTER BEING BAILED OUT...

THE GOVERNMENT GIVES THEM NEARLY 40 BILLION MORE DOLLARS.

wtf?

i mean really. WTF.

they were "chastised" and then given more money. i am just...utterly disgusted right now. DISGUSTED. to think millions and millions of people will have to pay for this extravagance when most can't even afford healthcare is beyond me.

i'm sorry--but this is why i can't stomach believing in "forgiveness" and "it's not our place to judge" and "they'll be judged in the afterlife."

1. these people were corrupt and were bailed out for being corrupt. 4 days after being bailed out--they send their executives to a resort that costed $400,000. THEY DON'T DESERVE FORGIVENESS. in fact. what they deserve is for the money to be rescinded, to be fired, and to be publicly humiliated the old-fashioned way. tomatoes thrown at their faces come to mind. and that's mild. spit wouldn't be mild. maybe both.

when the collective retirement loss is around 2 trillion dollars...DID NO ONE STAND UP AND SAY--guys...this might be a bad idea...i'm morally opposed to this...

2. hell yeah it's our place to judge. why else are there judges. laws. societal values. values in general. god-given ability to reason. etc.etc.etc.

3. we should all be judged here and in the afterlife if it exists. i'm flawed. i'll get mine. and because i will get mine--i want all those sinners to get theirs as well! why should justice have to wait? what good does it do the suffering now? the people that were harmed or affected negatively do not get any satisfaction. and i believe they should.

i hate this. i am so...ugh. this is just despicable. i am going to find out every single government official who gave them this additional money and write a letter chastising them for this. i swear to god.
