im sorry but that sounds extremely greedy. and how would you be able to fight if you can barely breathe when you wake up in the mornings? when your lungs are sticking out of your chest while you scrounge for scraps and drink dirty water? people would only look down on you, people like yourself.

I'm sorry but the only way that the third world could be changed is if the massive debt it owes to other countries (mainly the u.s, u.k and most of europe) is written off. Where do you think all the millions rasied over the years has gone? We hear on adverts that just a pound a day could help 100 people eat. Millions of pounds have been rasied over the last 20 years from various charities and they are still in the s***. Why because most of that money has gone towards the debts of the economy. They owe and external debt of $230 billion. And it seems to me that in the middle of a famine, less mouths to feed would be a good idea. But Noooo, these guys breed like rabbits and why? To send the kids off to work as early as 5 years old. Like it or not, there is nothing the average person can do about these people dying, tragic though it is, and I do think it is tragic. But I would rather help people who matter to me than someone I will never meet. Selfish though it sounds.


YES!!!! Go Bob!

And why do they do that?

- Because they don't have birth control
- Because conditions are so harsh that to even have a chance of a few kids surviving you have to have a ton of them (research R vs. K strategies in evolution for more on that -- or see my post earlier about improving the economy)

thank you tino!!


and yes, i know you guys have a point where "we need to help our selves first" but you know what, your goodness can be spread MORE than just your neighbourhood.
because unlike poverty, you can help the homeless and you can help a pregnant teenager here in north america,

where as there you cant. and its not their faults, im not saying its ours either, but it CAN be stopped.

I understand that and I agree with you, but it pisses me off when people are all...'If you see the horror you would understand'.

no but we can commit a part of ourselves to help.. because even doing something like donatinga dollar or something helps more than just sitting here on your computer all day. i know not one person can save the world, thats why you have people asking alot of other people to help them help those less fortunate.

Or by most of us, for that matter. The inhabitants of the countries can defend themselves too!
