This bill about kids fighting in Africa is dumb. Why should we care about what's happening over there? We got enough problems in our own country to worry about. Plus, how is this gonna help me in PA? It's a waste of time and money. Did you know that this bill was introduced by Rep. Smith from New York? What a joke.

This bill is so dumb, like why should we care about child soldiers in Africa when we have our own problems here in the US? It's not our responsibility to fix everything in the world. #notmyproblem
