we've got a clean class of those in poverty because they in ordinary words get to devour hamburgers. So, the position do you draw the line? global socialism must be the in ordinary words actual thanks to end "severe poverty" as you call it. So, are all of you waiting to grant your earnings to the gov't and allow them grant on your nutrients, guard, wellness care? extremely of stressful about global poverty, extremely concentration on what you may do on a personal foundation. possibly artwork at a soup kitchen feeding homeless. Donate slightly funds to the community nutrients pantry. To the guy reading this answer, check out your ecosystem. Yeah, I guess you've a pc possibly with intense % internet. A automobile outside, likely nutrients contained in the refrigerator. efficient, allow's say you worked complicated for all that. high quality.

How much are the Africans doing?
To be balanced, much of the continent is inhospitable for agriculture and industry. So life there is tough enough without the internal ethnic slaughter, huge birthrate, and cultural superstitions that are driving the population down with extra burdens and obstacles.
It seems that they will accept your money, but not your wisdom. I still donate, but question the actual benefit.

I am trying to convince black people that, as Bill Cosby said, it is time to accept the blame for your poorness instead of blaming others

Yes nige- the africans have been squeezed by deadly people like Mugabee and his counterparts who kill with hoes, shovels and sticks. They have irresponsibly produced children they cannot afford . They have sexed themselves into Aids and other disease. They must accept the blame of even salvery when they sold each other into bondage for a buck and did not protect them selves from those seeking to abuse them. They formed no strong nation as did other populations, why?, laziness and ignorance, what other rreason?

some people are trying to help, but it is like putting a band aid on a cut artery.

it will take generations before problem is solved. corrupt governments, lack of education, lack of infrastructure,


to solve poverty, they need to sell products or services to the rest of the world to get money. the problem is , the rest of the world is WAY ahead of them in all phases of education, industry and many other things.

i refuse to help them, i dont care.

Eat vegetarian; I ride my bike to avoid buying gas & producing greenhouse gases (they cause weather pattern shifts, global warming, drought, etc. )
Once or twice a year I buy a flock of chickens on Heifer.org. I can specify Africa as my desired recipient area.

We're not. As long as war and and gasoline prices dominate the news you will rarely hear about Africa. As long as they keep dying that's less mouthes to feed and less medications to deliver. Sounds cruel but we all know it's the truth.

Nothing. Gifts, food, and money won't help them. They need to get out of the dark ages and stop breeding out-of-control.

most people do not know the basic facts about africa and the third world - i guess this is partly propaganda by omission from the top, but also laziness from the bottom

africa has been squeezed by centuries of plunder and is still being plundered economically - as Kofi annan said, the first world is still squeezing $200 billion net a year out of africa - which after being plundered for centuries of labour and riches is still under the thunb of the first world

the third world is supporting the first world - giving $200 billion a year in aid to the first world - this is what does not get through people's heads - countries are forced to stick to cash crops, which gives cheap food to the first world, because of the high supply relative to demand, whereas they could diversify if they were free, to high profit high demand products like unusual tropical fruits etc - foreign aid is in the form of loans - is the bank giving you aid or are you giving the bank aid when it lends you 30,000 and you pay back 90,000 in interest and principal over time? - eg britian is giving brazilians 12p per capita in aid, and brazil is givng britain $12 per capita in interest - plus 80% of aid is spent in the first world - plus what the third world is sold is often poorest quality, for which they pay top dollar because the first world bribes leaders to sign deals that cost the nation big - bribes up to $5 billion, so guess what the profits are

it is like you close off a suburb in your city, steal everything out of it, and then have contempt for the backward state of the people caught in that suburb - that is africa

africa is bleeding from an artery, yes, and yes we are applying a band aid - but it isnt the africans fault - europe and america, the first world, was built on the labour of slaves and the plunder of the third world - you can refuse to face facts of history, but it wont make you right or real or happy

we have pay from $1 to $1 billion a fortnight - from a million times to 1000th of the average - the most extreme plunder, theft, extortion, greed, evil, hatred, injury, injustice, wickedness - and selfdestructiveness - because people are not doormats and they do fight back against theft - 90% of people on less than a 10th of average pay - while some are on a million times pay

we cannot afford such high levels of injustice any more - we have the bobms to destroy the planet 60 times over - we have to stop being thieves - or go on sliding via increasing violence to nuclear oblivion - the newspapers and tv and books dont tell you the truth, that the richest and most powerful have plundered africa mercilessly, because it knows you dont want to face facts - they dont want to become unpopular telling people unflattering realities, so you remain ignorant of the facts - and so you cant vote right to straighten things out and save yourselves -

if you dont force yourself to face unpleasant realities, dont expect to be able to be happy - happiness depends on knowing the truth - the reality principle is the maturity principle and few are in it - most people are still in the 'pleasure; principle - ie, i only want to know if it is pleasant - so the pleasure principle is a pain and unhappiness principle - because happiness needs realism

show some grit, get real and get happy

we have extreme injustice [theft] SO WE CAN BE EXTREMELY HAPPIER - justice is essential to happiness - because injustice breeds violence, disorder, danger, and costly war

we can get justice by limiting fortunes to US$2 million [the most wealth one person can make, ie, contribute to the social pool of wealth by his work in a lifetime] and spreading the overfortune equally among everyone in the world - electronically directly into every bank account in the world [everyone to get bank accounts] [one account per person, of course]

it is what the founding fathers of america knew was essential for peace freedom democracy happiness - they failed to limit fortunes, though they tried, we cannot afford to fail - we have the atomic bomb, nuclear winter, triple iceage, end of every lifeform on earth, ahead of us if we dont turn violence around

with fairpay capitalism, we get survival, peace, plenty for all, happiness - with terminal capitalism [continuing growing injustice, overpay and underpay more and more extreme, we get extinction, and, until extinction, misery and violence for all -

dont think you are safe if the hammer of war isnt hammering you right now - because the mall is still standing - you are unsafe because the hammer of war is everywhere loose in the world

commit justice or commit global suicide - that is the choice we have - change to justice or continue committing global suicide

we have more war than we can afford or absorb - the pustule of war is about to burst
