Estimada Mercedes DeMasi y su equipo,

Me parece excelente lo que estan haciendo por los ninos de Granada.

Granada es una ciudad muy bonita pero tiene mucha pobreza.

Cada ano yo la visito y hay cientos de ninos tan pobres pidiendo dinero que me da tristeza.

Yo vivo en Costa Rica y ojala podria ayudarles en su mision pero no puedo por la distancia.

Soy un catolico y mi novia y yo vamos a orar por su mision y especialmente por los ninos preciosos de Granada.

Un lugar en Granada que realmente necesita ayuda es por el mercado central. Hay muchos barrios pobres con ninos que necesitan no solamente comida, etc., sino tambien amor y esperanza de del nuestro Senor Jesucristo.

La unica precupacion que tengo es que muchos de los padres son adictos de droga y muchas veces ellos aprovechan la ayuda de los gringos que da comida, etc. a los hijos mientras siguen usando droga con el dinero que tienen en lugar que cuidar sus propios hijos. Es un vicio muy fuerte que solamente Cristo puede curar.

Hey Mercedes DeMasi,

Do you live here, in the United States? Why don't you help the American children here, at home. If an American education is good enough for you, then give back by helping the children in this country first.

"Sad" is an example why people all over the globe think Americans are arrogant pricks. Sad's comment indicates he/she actually hates America. What an awful thing to post in a public forum.

I think we should send you to Nicaragua, so you can get a life and see how needy other countries are, and maybe you would understand why they come to the USA for a better life.

Also the More The USA helps other poor countries the less need it is for them to go the the USA.

Nicaragua is part of the American Continent. The United States is not America and America is not the United States. It is The United States of America.

Helping children in the United States and Nicaragua is helping American children in the American Continent.

SO STOP JUDGING UNTIL YOU HAVE YOU FACTS STRAIGHT.

No, they're not Americans. They're Nicaraguans.

And just because someone's own country is a shithole does not give them the right to come to this country. We have immigration laws for a reason, even if we seldom choose to enforce them. And the last thing we need is to open up the southern border and flood this country with shitskin mestizos. We have enough problems already.

I'm not a racist, I'm a realist. Uneducated, low IQ mestizos make bad immigrants. They come to this country with no money, skills, or prospects for gainful employment, and immediately add to the underclass horror show that plagues our cities. They bring crime, disease, litter, and welfare dependency. Just look at the statistics- this is an undisputable fact. Shouldn't we be allowed to be at all selective about who we allow into this country?

El chancho"(so called by his fellows due to his odor similar to boiled kidneys, due to his poor hygiene and lack of bathing or showering) che guevara was the communist pig that gave the firing squad to many innocent Cubans and took great delight in doing so. He was a racist and particularly enjoyed humiliating the Cuban negroes & mulatoes as well as the native Amerindian Mexicans whom he despised and made no effort to conceal while he was in Mexico.
Since he was a commander just like fidel, and was bolder than fidel, he enjoyed great power. fidel did not like the competition so he send him off on mission to Bolivia, where he was killed as fidel expected. This gave the revolution a martyr, while removing the competition, as well as producing an icon for the revolution.
It is said by those that found che, that he said: "Don't shoot, don't shoot I'm che & I'm worth more alive than dead, don't shoot" The soldiers that found him laughed & told him to say his last prayers, he cursed God, begged, cried, made offers to his captors, whined, wet his pants, soiled his pants, sobbed, BANG! Justice was done!
He who had killed so many, and took so much delight in doing it, died like the coward he was!
Good riddance, the stinking "chancho" is dead!
**********What few people know is that while he claimed the title Doctor while he lived in Cuba, he never graduated from Medical School. The reason his fellow revolutionaries called him "che" was originally to denigrate him, because they refused to call him doctor or commandante, since those close to him looked down on him. The nickname stuck, and since in the Cuban jargon the word is unknown, it readily identified him. The people of Argentina use this word very liberally just as the Americans use the word "dude" or "man" or "guy". The myth is that he was a guerrilla expert, facts are that he never, not once, carried out a successful guerrilla activity

Yes, they are Americans.

They live in the continent of America.

They're "Central Americans." In this country, the word "American" is used to describe someone from the United States, and no one else. Not Cananadians, not Mexicans, and not Nicaraguans. It has NOTHING to do with the continent. It's just an abbreviation of sorts for "United States of Americans."

Don't try to lump these shitskin savages in with the civilized Europeans of this country. Our people have brought the light of civilization to the world, creating science, medicine, cars, airplanes- even travelling to the moon. You little brown mestizos have accomplished NOTHING, and have NO RIGHT to the land that we and our ancestors have built. If you want a successful, prosperous society- BUILD ONE FOR YOURSELVES! Stop coming to the white man with your little brown hand out, expecting us to feed you.

That's not how the world works, my friend. If you want something, you have to earn it. And your "people" haven't earned the right to live in a civilized society. You need to stop getting drunk, having babies, dropping out of school, and killing each other like animals. You need to stop blaming everyone else and start taking responsibility for your own actions. And you need to start respecting our country, laws, and culture.

As usual, you speak the truth.
Thank you alex, the overwhelming majority agree with you!
Please keep posting, and standing up for taxpaying law abiding Americans.

People from the U.S. are North Americans.

People From Nicaragua are Central Americans.

People from Colombia are South Americans.

But we are all Americans, North, Central or South Americans.

You're right. In many countries, Spain for example, we're called "North Americans." But in this country, the term "American" refers to a citizen of the United States, PERIOD. You may be an "American" in your country, but you are NOT an "American" in our country- the word has a different definition here. This is a fact, regardless of your silly little linguistic games.

A Nicaraguan is about as much of an "American" as it is a "human".

Daily Horoscope for December 14

Scorpio

Something that's been buried comes to the surface today, triggering a change in your life. This could be quite dramatic and public, or it may happen on an inner level so that you're the only one who's fully aware of what's going on. If this is something that you've been fighting to suppress, it will be painful to have it finally exposed but you must accept that it was inevitable.
