Many rich people rarely give as much as those who aren't rich.

ysabeljhen: The rich become richer
The poor becomes poorer
The sad truth is that everyone can be taken care of and have quality in life and the rich can still be rich. Its greed gone to extreme is why things are like they are today and it is unsustainable. At some point, the population is either going to starve or revolt against the capitalist system we have that dictates it is more profitable to destroy cosmetically flawed food instead of donating it to a food bank or shelter. France at least has addressed that issue.

One of the primary symptoms of poverty in children is hunger. The facts about hunger clearly show its relationship to other symptoms of poverty around the world such as malnutrition, low birth rate and poor health.help

Well you have poverty and you have poverty.
If you live in a country were the chance is mighty big that you can't feed your child, you shouldn't take children. As a parent it is your responsibility.

Year by year we see hungry children from the African continent on television, still the parents doesn't take their responsibility to say: We can't feed it, we can't give it no future, so we can't take children.

It's easy to hold your hand up to the western world, hoping somebody gives you something to eat or to buy food with, actually, that is the most easiest way, taking your responsibility is very difficult.

And most western countries sends milliards to the third world every year, the gouvernments overthere buy weapons, give luxuous parties or hold the money for their own.
If you want to solve the problems in Africa, we will have to take the power overthere, send machines for agriculture, cultivate the land, dig canals so there will be water for the farmers and so on.

The corruption in Africa shows that all the help from the western world over the last 30 years hardly helped.
Also the criminallity in Africa is high. Like the cheaters from internet who ask you for money, almost all these cheaters are from Africa.

So we are doing as best as we can, but even charity doesn't work properly, cuz the bosses of charity-organisations (and there are many organisations, supposing to help Africa) take a lot of money for their own relief. A salary of 300.000 euro isn't uncommon.

On tv we see the most rich television stars calling that we must help those countries in need, while they get a lot of money for presenting it and they hardly give anything.
Bono Vox of U2 is a good example, always crying that we must help Africa, while he has very much money. It's the people that get minimum wage that are paying.

As I told earlier in a thread, 1% of the population on this earth ownes 99% of the money.
So 99% of the population has only 1%.
It's time the rich decide that they only need 40% of the money, and the rest of the world gets 20%.

After all, what fun is it having so much that you hardly know what to do with your money, you can't take it with you in the grave.

Maybe it would be an idea to see how much every person in this world needs for a comfortable, but not rich, life, and give everyone the share he needs. What's left can be used for infrastructure, agriculture and so on.

Why buy a suit of 1000 dollar if a suit of 100 dollar looks almost the same and fits as well.
Why buy a rolex of 15000 dollar while you can see the time on a watch of 5 dollar? I don't understand mankind I guess, but even if I were a multimillionair, I wouldn't wear way to expensive suits, watches etc.

You can go eat outdoors for 100 dollars and you can go eat outdoors for 10 dollars. Mostly the people that pay 100 dollars are hungry, cuz their food was tasty, but it wasn't very much, and then they go to the McDonalds afterwards.

This song (video with Lyrics) says it all...

We really need to look at issues that cause poverty. For instance, in many African countries people are starving whilst their leaders are worth billions. Africa is the wealthiest continent in the world in terms of its minerals. A family can have a very reasonable income but because one or both of the parents are addicted to drugs, alcohol or gambling the money for food is depleted. That’s the worst type of poverty because it goes unnoticed. The Rich are major tax contributors and many have become philanthropists. It is easy to blame them but it’s no more than diversion. Charities collect billions in the name of the poor but the poor don’t see it. It goes on “admin”.. The birth rate rises considerably during famine. It is natures way of ensuring that humans are not wiped out!

Your right, all issues around poverty need to be addressed. More money would be nice though for programs to get people clean and straight up and educated. Everywhere needs to be analyzed and acted on accordingly depending on the issues. Changes in the way of thinking is just as important as having the resources to meet everyone's needs.

If you give money to the poor but nothing for them to do they'll just have kid after kid after kid until every meadow and forest and unpolluted sea has been turned into hell on earth. Only the poor who have learned the modern birth rate can be helped. I'm in favour of universal basic income on condition that you are sterilised after your second kid or forfeit the income.

agree on that one. On the other side they should give people more time to have fun. Lot's of people working the whole day (8 hrs), after the work is done, they go home, sometimes are in a traffic jam and lot's of people are travelling more than 1 hour to their home. Arriving at home they have to get the kids from their nanny, make dinner, do shopping, doing some cleaning in the house, doing the dishes and in the evening lot's of people are doing their administration, reading their letters, or are to exhausted from work and watch some television before they go to bed.

So I say, more people has to work, but less hours a day, and for the same salary.

We're no sleves for the rich people and the rich companies.

That's what we are doing in the UK with immigrants, we give them benefits housing and they poduce many kids, why are we paying for our own demographic destruction, is it for another working class for the rich to exploit in later years.
That was the plan in Germany , by Merkel, but it's gone horribly wrong.

We all live on the same planet. And it's man that creates another child. How do you think women get pregnant ? . I feel sorry for the children the most. It wasn't their fault an yet it's up to them to change what man created confused

Poverty won't be solved with food but education and work...
And this is where all the humanitarian projects fail...and not because they are not aware of the truth but because they have a very raw and hard material to work with...

I agree with this....and I think this is what contributes to mental illness and it starts in childhood....kids go to school for 8 hrs a day and a lot are overscheduled with activities....this all leads to stress overload....nobody is encouraged to just do nothing anymore and relax.....its always go go go and that's encouraged to the point where you cant help but burn out eventually....we need to realise that less is more in order to look after our mental health....I say this on the heels of a rash of suicides in my area by young people and also police officers...we need to wake up and look after ourselves mentally too.....wave

Maybe it's time to say: all healthy food is free anywhere, you don't have to buy it you can take just what you need. It's stupid you even have to pay taxes on healthy food.
And in stead make unhealthy food, cigarettes and all other unhealthy stuff more expensive.

Everyone deserves a good health.

Also let everyone work for four hours a day maximum, maybe even 6 days a week or maybe you can choose how you do your 24 hours a week. A lot of people are unemployed, with only 4 hours a day you have enough time for your own stuff, and there will be work for everybody.
