Oleg, that's awesome stuff.

A little beyond just RKBA, the real advancement of women's rights in third world countries is assuring they get a good education. My wife has helped sponsor a couple schools in Kenya, including taking a couple trips over there to bring books, paper, pencils, chalk, etc.

Education is truly an awesome tool. When women are educated and able to defend themselves, a truly free nation will arise.

cheers

Agreed...but they may have to fight their way to the school.

Reminds me of the "Original Million Mom March" poster of a few years back.

Ain't reality a bitch? :banghead:

I would suggest that the text be much shorter and punchier.

I'm sure that's true—and well said, by the way. I'm equally sure it's fundamentally a human rights issue. Sad to say, even today, at least two thirds of the world's people subsist under régimes with no pretense of representation or civil rights. Small wonder most of the world lives in poverty and ignorance.

And how does this affect the United States? Why should I be interested in interfering with the internal affairs of another country? Should I be out and about saving the rest of the world?

The third world cesspool is what Islamic terrorist savages breed in.

I certainly don't advocate prancing about trying to fix all the world's ills, but do believe a.) at the very least, we need to set a good example for the rest of the world, and b.) we need to stop sending so-called "foreign aid" to nations without representative government and clearly defined civil rights for all. I believe we should help those who help themselves, albeit only to the degree that their self-interest and ours coincide.

Ignoring the ways of the third world hasn't done much to ensure our security in the world. It is probably a good idea to change their way of thinking before they outnumber us.

i like the message very much. but for some reason in my opinion the hand needs to be more femanine. if it weren't talking 3rd world country that would be easy by just adding a ring. but i am not sure how you could do it and keep it in context with 3rd world. Also i think a more crude handgaurd (scratched up wood) would have a little more impact as well.

With the current attention span, the wording is a bit too verbose.

I like it, but needs to be shortened.

With Globalization, America can ill-afford to ignore the happenings of the rest of the world. I don't mean interfere necessarily, but I mean, most Americans have no clue about foreign affairs..

I've just reread the message in the image. There are three messages. I think there should be an opening and closing.

Ideally, there'd be a single message. It's tricky.
