It really is horrible that kids with such beautiful brains capable of so much more get forced into such things as this started by adults who take so little time to consider what they do and how they will be looked upon afterwards.

I refuse to recognize Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States of America because he is not a natural born citizen and therefore uneligible according to the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court refuses to even discuss the many lawsuits recently filed by Philip J. Berg, Alan Keyes and many others. The media refuses to discuss it. Just watch some of the videos on my page. If you agree that the U.S. Supreme court should hear the facts and make a ruling then "Friend Us" cb

I'm guess the trainers trained the as "Gorilla Fighters" these people (Gorilla Fighters) where trained to be able yo kill a person in under 15 seconds. if this is what these children are learning i feel very sorry because this training could cause death. either by the training presure or the trainers. but like i said this is only my guess.

Well done! i was familiar with the work of "everyday gandhis" in Liberia prior to see this short film - let's hope that other emulate the work effort of Cynthia Travis, Andre Lambertson and others. Great to empower people with story as they transition from war to peace.

Diarrhea into a wine glass. Sip the diarrhea slowly, making sure that any chunks stay in the glass. After doing this, you will vomit. Vomit onto a plate of your family members dinner. Make them eat the vomit dinner while you urinate in their hair. After they eat the vomit dinner and puke, stick your tongue into the vomit stream, then diarrhea into their nostril. Massage the spilled diarrhea from their nostril onto their chest. Make designs in the chest diarrhea with your tongue.

It is good to see that the horrors of war does not consume all that it touches.

Good video, but I hope it's not staged. What are those papers for anyway? I don't deny however, that their lives must've been hell.
