This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

After seeing these countries in my dna map, and having visited many of them in winter, I have to admit, if I ever won some huge amount of lottery money, I would return to those places and gather any homeless locals off the curb and try to help them become Americans. Have you ever been to a country where you literally watched people freeze to death on the street, because no city in the country is warm enough to survive outside during winter? I love Ireland, but I don’t love the fact that some of their locals die on the street by freezing death. The problem isn’t just one country. Even London made the news for having homeless suffering outside this winter. They can’t just bus their homeless to a warmer city. There is no warmer city in those countries. I feel for the governments there. I know they’re overwhelmed already, but it’s inhumane to let people freeze to death on the street without an option to move to a warmer location.
I've been in the USA, I think you've already quite a bit to do at home. If it's about the genes of the people you help, I know of a good book to get you started, but beware, its in German
It’s about family. A lot of Irish people are related. It was really disappointing to see so many Irish people dying in the cold, sleeping on the street, years ago. I’m sorry you think everything is about race.
