how can we have roller coasters and sky scrapers?

Question

and still have people starving in the world

there's nothing wrong with sky scrapers but this is something wrong with people who have no running water.

Answer 1

People are starving in the world or are illiterate because there is still no conscious that mankind is ONE. That just like the human body, all it's members have to be healthy and must function harmoniously for the whole body to be healthy. That if one of it's members is not feeling well the whole body will be affected by it and will suffer. This "paradigm shift" is what we must become conscious of and is the challenge to our present day society.

Answer 2

People would still be starving even if there was no roller coasters and sky scrapers. It's not about what we have or what we use our money for, it's about "do we care?" and the answer is "No". "Why don't we care? Because most of us have never seen starvation and we have never starved. We can't understand what it's all about and what we see in the medias drowns in the flood of meaningless garbage that the medias pour out on us. Real and valid information about how to help starving people drowns in information and gossip about Brittney's latest hair cut and how to lose weight through the latest diet. I know a great diet, cut back on you food account and sent the remaining money to an organization that works on educating people to help themselves out of starvation. You'll lose weight, feel what it's like to be starving and give help all at the same time.

Answer 3

Because the people building roller coasters and sky scrapers dont know how to cook.
Tell them to quit over breeding and having 10 children or more, or tell them to move out of the desert as no food will ever grow there. Go solve the worlds problems with a simple common sense approach. I know thats not the answer your looking for but there is alot of truth to it

Answer 4

All the starving people I know refuse to eat roller coasters and sky scrapers.

Answer 5

Even if we sent all our money for rollercoasters and skyscrapers to starving people:

-The tyrants who run most of the starving countries would keep it for themselves.
-There's no good infrastructure to deliver the food.
-Agricultural practices that, by today's industrial standards, are too primitive to feed that many people, create a lot of waste, and that would sap away at the cash you sent.

The systems in place do not allow the money to really help them.

Secondly, most of us get up early to go to work each day. We sell our labor to our respective employers and put the rest of our lives on hold in return for a little slip of paper that tells our respective banks that our employers' banks owe them money. Our banks agrees that this money really belongs to the individuals that worked to get said slip of paper, and that he or she may use it at any time, no questions asked. The labor was ours to sell, the money is the compensation. At no point can anybody make a moral claim on that cash, any more than a person can make a moral claim on our labor, regardless of how long it's been since their last meal. We can choose to send it to somebody else to give them food, but if a person decides instead that his/her money is better spent to ride a rollercoaster, it's that individual's decision to make.

A lot of people have chosen the coasters and skyscrapers over feeding starving people. Because that's the case, if you want things to be otherwise, you need to demonstrate to all those people why you think feeding hungry people is the superior decision.

Answer 6

Some country developed faster then other countries.
Then, It turns out that developing other countries is VERY HARD and VERY EXPENSIVE.
Now, rich countries cans top building roller coasters, and skyscrapers, lay of hundreds of thousands of people employed building and operating skyscrapers and spend the excess money on feeding people in the third world.
Result?
Rich countries RUIN their own economies, poor countries stay fed for one year, and go right back to hunger,
Now EVERYONE is starving.

Is not it better for rich countries to stay rich by doing what they do, AND build up the thirld world at a REALISTIC pace?

Answer 7

Remember, America is a very indulged nation. We like tothink of our pleasures over other people's needs, which sometimes goes too far. I don't know what's wrong with skyscrapers though.

Answer 8

If sin truly existed this would be it's definition.

Not the mistakes that children make as they grow up.
