Take a look away from the computer. See what you have. A computer, a bed, anything that was essential, you probably had. Now, to fully understand of how lucky you guys are, buy yourself a ticket to Africa and look around you now. Death and famine is all around you, swallowing the people living in parts of Africa. Now, come back to you computer and think of what you just seen.
I made this thread to show you guys that, no matter where ever you guys are in life: in reality or virtually, show appreciation to what you do have instead of sulking over what you don't. (I also made this thread so that it BALANCED WITH THE TYPE OF SPAM WE HAD ON THIS FOURMS). Sorry, had to type in caps. ;-) Hopefully, this thread will have some kind of impact your life and remind you that you shouldn't take things for granted. You may have everything you ever wanted one night, and nothing the next. |

And then ask the Africans for money to buy Robux right?
Kidding. |

| Very meaningful, but a lot of people won't be intelligent enough to understand. Expect light flames. |

You guys are missing the point. It's not about aid in Africa or trying to help Africa, no. You guys need to be thankful for what you have and quit trying to get more by spamming, begging, etc.
Tell your parents that you got a life lesson on ROBLOX. It would make them happy. |

@BlockBob99: Don't you have an education? Is that something for you to be thankful of? To you, probably not. You probably dread the homework and tests. You don't and I quote for Atticus Finch "crawl out of your own skin" and live the life they do. If you lived the life like the way some people in Africa do, you would have barely enough sanity to keep going. |

@pieeater359: What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with greed. Well, in the way I perceive it. |
