Maybe if you actually linked us to the video in question, we'd be more inclined to comment on it.

Wow, you're a pleasant one. You seem to have no clue about life in other countries. I don't know much besides the fact that they are in severe poverty, but I don't make shitty remarks like you. You have made a huge mistake by making this thread and it's not a good start to your entrance into this community.

No, I can articulate what I feel about you much better than that, but it would be pages long.

Also stop making fucking stupid threads, or just stop making any threads you've made like 3 or 4 now and they are all pretty dumb.

I think the OP might just be trolling but I always have thought there is something a little ironic about sending food and other aid to Africa. By ensuring the continued existence of starving African children into adulthood we are allowing them to procreate and further overpopulate the poverty-ridden continent; condenming more children to starvation.

Indeed - Simply feeding these people won't solve anything, anyone trying to fix that problem has to do a LOT more than that. You're just prolonging the problem rather than getting to the root of it.

But that's not to say people shouldn't have the right to be fed and not suffer - Feeding the starving should be only a temporary fix while people are ordered not to reproduce as much in places where there isn't a lot of food. It's not as simple as that, sure, and doing so introduces problems such as generation gaps and not enough people to look after the old, such is what is happening in China, but that's a small price to pay compared to starving children.

As someone said once, it is funny how many species such as kangaroos and blue-tits don't reproduce in times of famine, yet we're too stupid to do what they do.

Which is why the aid programs don't just feed these people. They work to improve infrastructure, teach them better farming techniques, provide birth control and just generally educated them to live better lives.

Many of the African countries also need a change in the way their society works and a change in leadership to really get themselves out of the muck. It's hard to promote such a positive change however when outside countries and groups meddle in African affairs for their own benefit and profit by providing arms for their conflicts.

Many African countries need to change the way the fact that their fertility rate is six or seven babies per women. Africa is a pretty shit continent that can't support such a population.

On the other hand MoxCo if they didn't try for such a big family they would probably die out. They are an agricultural people that need hands on their farms but also most children die in labour or in the first five years so they have to keep trying to anticipate that their children will die. Can you imagine that Nepsotic? Having to try for sex because you expect your children will die in five years of you knowing them.

This is where education comes in. There are statistics to show that that the strongest correlation between fertility rate and other factors in a society is the level of education given to females.

I used to Support Amnesty.
I think all these other organizations only put a bandaid on the problem. Once they take it off the problem is still there. What I really think needs to be done is change the human rights. Make sure human rights are given to less developed countries too.

But in the end, I never know which charity is honest and which isn't.

Many third world countries need blah blah blah this and blah blah blah that and blah blah blah everything.

You are completely right.

But they also need food NOW or they starve to death.
