Angelina Jolie - World Refugee Day PSA

For this year’s World Refugee Day on June 20th, Angelina Jolie recorded a public service announcement (PSA) to draw attention to the plight of the millions of people who have been forced to flee their homes because of war or persecution.

The 34-year-old UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador actress says in the PSA, “Please don’t turn away. Refugees are the most vulnerable people on earth. Every day, they are fighting to survive. They deserve our respect. Please do not forget them. Remember them on this day. World Refugee Day.”

i know that and I am not giving brad credit but if we mention him in general discussion there’s nothing wrong. i know angie has great influence on brad he even mentioned in one of his interviews.

I am quite tired of Megan Fox at this point.

++++++++++++++++++
I hear what you are saying PT, My point was that no other HW star, or wife of a HW star has whined about a relationship as much as X.

No woman has taken as much heat as Angelina has because Brad wanted out of his toxic relationship. There were no children involved to be hurt.

Maybe the average X fan is cognitively impaired? Maybe their brains have rotted from reading too many Tabs?

I don’t buy the argument that “what goes around comes around”, at least not always. In the field I work in, it is very rare that it happens, too many bad guys get away with it.

I do believe Brad was honest with X.
I do believe Brad ended it with X before he pursued Angelina.
I do believe he made a decision to get out.
He is responsible for that decision. (He had every right to make that decision, It is HIS life!)
I do NOT believe Angelina “lured him away” or “controlled his mind” or “cast a voodoo spell on him”.

I don’t like whiners, I don’t like manipulative people, I do not like perpetual victims. X and her fans are ALL of these with a bit of Crazy thrown in!

The women I mentioned could have done the same as X, but instead they moved on and accomplished things on their own.

That is all I am trying to say.

Thank you, Angelina for bringing awareness to the refugee problem. I just hope one day there will be no more wars, and therefore no more refugees. Probably won’t happen in my lifetime though.

OMG SHE IS SO SEXUAL SHE KILLS THE MEANING OF THIS HEART BREAKING VIDEO CLIP.
ALL I SEE IS HER NAKED,

damn she’s really aging
she use 2 be so hot in the smith movie
i think all this refugee thing is stressing her out
but i mean she is doing a good thing so whatever

SHE IS THE BEST AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD…FULL OF BEAUTY AND TALENT..I LOVE HER

Refugees will not be forgotten! May justice rule and hoping all those wronged will receive the justice they deserve.

Let us hope that peace and justice shall reign supreme so that wars will be a thing of the past.

Kudos to Angelina for supporting the plight of refugees.

Bravo Angie! Keep up the good work! The whole world loves you!

angelina is an inspiration. to the twit who could listen to a psa about refugees and be concerned about the sound of angelina’s voice, you are a shallow and ignorant person.

what a wonderful and caring woman! she deserves all her blessings ‘cos she such an amazingly kind woman.

Jolie is a woman of substance …. advocate for refugees and giving money to charities.

As a NORMAL person, I was moved by the photos used showing the range of people forced into the status of refugee. Thankfully we can devote at least one day a year to making us remember those in this struggle for home.

Kudos to Ms. Jolie for her near 10 year commitment to those in need.

==========================================

I wouldnt go advertising my mental health/cognitive dissonance problems to the world, if I were you.
.
Just remember: the fact that you are mentally ill is not Angie’s problem, not ours, and not the 20 million refugees around the world whom she helps with her time, money and effort.
.
Sorry, youre just not that special.

I would just love love love if Angelina were to be interviewed by one of my favorites Christiane Amanpour but I think Christiane has a lot on her plate right now in regards to Iran. I also think she only interviews world leaders. I wonder if they have ever cross paths? Still Anderson would be my next choice. I can’t wait for the interview.

Hi haterz!…the champ i on is here…

Yay! for angelina…remind us again, again…nice work…oh, and lookin mighty damn lovely…

…don’t hate, appreciate…girl isn’t new to this, but, true to this…don’t shoot the messenger…

Good day Neleh here. Hello 2 all JP fans on board & lurking Now. Only have a bit of time,Roll call this week at Jareds boo yaah..um I hope haha..

Angelina you are Amazing. Done dotta. Im a young Woman whom you have Influenced, touched.Thanku Angelina Jolie I remember Worlds Refugee Day.
.
I remember as a young girl my mother taking my sisters & I -2 visit children in orphanages, children camps, some were filled with the elderly, all poor, places in the US& elsewhere.

1 particular place My mama would park the car & we’d trudge down a hill where the rutted road wore itself out & walk down a dirt road- my hands would become sweaty, Id feel nervous-anxious.
.
My sisters & I -knowing & not knowing what we’d see, were not really sure we could keep the tears at bay. 1 thinks, if I stopped 2 think, 2 really think, about what is happening here, I will begin to cry & Father I don’t know when I will stop. So we’d reach out & hold each others small hand for strength & carry on down the hill, as it should be.
.
Orphans /refugee’s are at the fringes of society. Their the easiest 2 exploit, abuse, debase, and ignore. Among members of any society they are the ones who can be overlooked, demeaned -treated as non-persons with the greatest ease and with the greatest frequency. They have no power, so No significance.
.
Orphans/refugee’s can & are deprived consistently of justice. This is why the poor, parentless -those who lack parental protection either through abandonment, abuse or death ect, are at the endangered
list. By definition, among all the “needy in the land” they are the littlest, the weakest, the poorest, the most desperately vulnerable. Not only must they do without food or money, they lack something more basic, the comfort, nurture and protection of family,parents. They are not only destitute physically & economically, but socially & psychologically as well.
Ive always thought justice meant 2 care for the weakest,maintained rights 4 the oppressed ,poor,parentless.weak&needy..thanku Angelina, I know you care. Neleh
.
Pardon my long post, but Angelina, her message touches me as I try & do my part in this great big world.

As Angie’s promo implied& wise words from the
Iroquois Indians:
.
It does not require many words to speak the truth.
Chief Joseph ..
.
Respect means listening until everyone has been heard and understood, only then is there a possibility of “Balance and Harmony” the goal of Indian Spirituality.”

vickifromtexas - hi. ITA Angelina is an inspiration on many levels. We may not lead her lifestyle or have her resources but she (along with others) demonstrates that beauty, talent, and glamour can all be compatible with compassion and purpose.

I also admire how she decided to re-direct her focus and goals in life. I truly believe the love and fulfillment that came her way is a direct result of the changes she made in her life.

Oh I almost 4got- Hey AG ,Muaah..
