food to save 100 starving children, which would you choose? Now, multiply that times 1,000,000 ( in Africa alone )? This is what governments have do do daily. Which way would you go?

I know a lot of people will give you hell for asking this question, but, to me it is a very sensible question and needs to be addressed, and in my opinion since 98%of the children who have aids in Africa or any where else will die a slow agonizing death in the end, it only makes sense to save the ones who have a chance, not only in Africa but every where, even tho I honestly feel the ones in Africa will not ever be any thing except a thorn in the worlds side when they grow up, and become Muslim terrorist , but, that is the way with our bleeding hearts no fore thought at all, and before you get bent out of shape , WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH SELF PRESERVATION???
i ALSO FEEL THIS IS ONLY REALISTIC,

I agree with Lucy. If all the mill/billionaires in the world helped feed and medicate just a small fraction of those children there would be more than enough to go around. Unfortunately, with money comes greed in most cases. Besides that, how would you choose which children are worthy of saving? Would it be based solely on there HIV status? Would you want us to write you off just because you had HIV? Just wondering...
Also, who told you it costs $3,000 a month to medicate one child? I think that that is a very high estimate.

If it was my child or someone Else's child i would spend the money on meds. HIV is not a SIN it is a Disease not only spread by gays but by heterosexuals as well. The governments of third world country's have the means to help all of their people,but corruption and greed always take over. The means are there but will never be used.

that is a hard question for me to answer. i believe that all children deserve a chance at a life. even if they are ill with HIV it is not their sin but the sin from their parents that caused them to have this death sentence. as far as children in Africa don't they deserve to live too

That's a choice I'd rather not make.
I would do what Bush did, lower tax rates and stimulate economic activity, thereby INCREASING total tax receipts and allowing us to do both!!! :)

There's more than enough on this planet to go around, if the greedy weren't involved, we could care for all their needs.

I assume their is a point to your question, It's just not obvious. Are you asking a question or promoting a cause?
