that's how they live.
Or die.
If you really care about these people, then send them money/food. If you don't do anything about it, then you shouldn't care about it.
For every idiot in here. I'm not asking you to donate. I don't care if you don't donate....
I'm just saying African Children are starving....
I'm not expecting anything out of you......
You are however, expecting our sympathy.
Why should I give my money to feed these people?
Tyson, you are wrong about one thing.
The U.S. has the biggest government dept in the world!
So no, those lands do not owe the US money.
one point I want to make myself:
there is alot of help, but the help doesnt work,
you see, because 'we' are helping them, they are not doing anything themselves.
you can see that on the news, are they ever busy with something? work?
never! they are not working.
there should be a system which gets those people to work, and for the work they do they should get a good reward (thats another problem, companies are buying stuff from 3rd world lands for TOO LOW prices)
that's what i wanted to say.
oh btw, some more points are just bs (tyson) like number one, its the government who did it, not the people.
also poverty may not ever end, you can make it less worse.
and point 9... well thats just rude, only a dumbass thinks that way...
-Freohr
Basically. African children don't have enough to eat. U.S.A children have too much to eat, are too picky, therefore opposite happens.
I'm going to sum up what some people have already said and add in a few more points.
1. They brought this upon themselves
2. Their government is corrupt and greedy, if we send them money/food, the government keeps 99% of it.
3. It's their government that can stop the poverty, but they don't want to.
4. It's not our place to help them, why should we if they won't help themselves?
5. They already owe us a shitload of money
6. If we help them get out of poverty, they'll probably be greedy for more and start a war against us since they have so many people.
7. All countries need to look after themselves.
8. We aren't in any financial situation to be giving them money.
9. No one gives a shit about some skinny kid, we all die eventually.
10. Poverty will NEVER end.
