Angelina Jolie on The Today Show
Ann Curry :: In what seems to be the middle of no where, on the edge of Namibia in Southern Africa. A very pregnant Angelina Jolie emerged from her private family vacation to speak on behalf of children in poor countries who don’t get to go to school. What is the worst, in your mind, of that?
Angelina Jolie :: God, there are just so many things. It’s really that thought of the potential of a human being. The lack of education causes death. More children die under the age of 5 when the parents aren’t educated. More people get AIDS when they haven’t had an education. Statistics prove that if every child was in school, every year, 700,000 less people would get AIDS.
AC :: It seems also, for you, kind of a personal thing. You have two children you’ve adopted. Both of you whom might have been in this same circumstance of not being able to get educated. And when you look at them and realize that…
AJ :: I look at them and just think, especially my daughter and how many millions of kids are out of school in her country. Especially girls. And I know how families with AIDS when parents die of AIDS, there’s no possible way that children can make a school fee. There’s no possible way she would have gone to school. And she is so smart and so strong. Her potential as a women one day is great. You multiply her by thousands and that is the thing that I can so clearly see when I look at her. Maddox — the amount of street children in his country… in all probability Maddox would have probably been one of the kids going the garbage picking in the streets. He would have been on his own.
AC :: It must mean much to you, as a human being, to be able to give them an opportunity they never would have gotten.
AJ :: I’m happy for them that they’re gonna have all this education and I hope, with it, they do some good things. That they’re good people. [giggles]

What the hell are you talking about? I have said this before and I’ll say it again: The few people that come here to hate are some of the most hypocritical posters. Take a look at how "ugottobekiddingme" contradicts his/her self."u ppl on here r completely socially retarded and thats all there is to it""so i will leave u all as i found u a nasty bunch of socially retarded ppl with as much character as a spoon"""u badger and insult and the majority of u r just plain mean""have made comments to other posters that r absolutely horrible and completely belittling""u r really a narrow-minded and obnoxious lot"Ugottobekiddingme- Make up your mind!!! if you think the regulars here belittle others, then what exactly are you doing yourself.
Have you completely lost your mind or is there a little bit left in there? What in hades are you talking about? In case in you missed it, there are a lot more people from other countries on this blog. You probably missed that just to vent your anger on Americans. On an old thread no less. If you really want to tell us off, why didn’t you post this on an active thread? What you a coward? There is a very thing line between being a "peacemaker" and cowardice, my friend. I’ll leave you to chew on that.One last thing, we do have jobs but unlike you, we don’t have to work ourselves to death on menial labor. We have time for fun, fun, fun and lots more fun!

Aye Caramaba! My friend what are you talking about?! He didn’t want the baby because of his image?! Are you high? This man said he wants children and you think now that he’s expecting one he’s change is mind. You think it’s weird they aren’t married, what hole did you crawl out from….you must have looked directly at the sun when you were younger coz you’re talking like someone whose brain has been fried. Please get off your moral high horse and the rest of us breathing space.Oh I can’t wait for the day they announce they are married, have been for awhile. What will these ******** say then.
Sheesh, what ARE you talking about, #335? Brad is trapped by Angelina’s pregnancy? After all these years of documented interviews by Primetime Live and other shows that he wants a family, do you think now he will change his mind that his partner is actually pregnant? Besides, who knows he might have already married her and they just don’t want to talk about it. Or another scenario, they just might want to do a Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, Susan Sarandon and Tim Burton, Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard, all of whom have children and have not tied the knot. It happens. Besides, why would the pregnancy be a shock? I’m pretty sure they both talked about it and both wanted it. After all, Angie is 30 years old and I’m pretty sure she knows all there is to know about birth control. She has been married twice without getting pregnant, for Pete’s sake. So it is safe to assume that they both wanted the pregnancy.
#337 stillborn now,#338 staged photos,#339 dump the orphan’s,You are a sick individual and need help!If you are the blueprint for a JA fan,she has alot more to worry about besides making crappy movies.
