The lives of 1.9 million children will be needlessly lost this year because world governments have failed to reduce poverty levels. Why ? Compare that number to the past 4 terrorist attacks. The world is insane.

The world might well be insane but I think the poverty stricken need to take some responsibility here too. The only thing many of them seem to do to help themselves is have more children so than can collect more from their governments.

The need to procreate is so powerful that every year a million staving kids die around the world---how do you expect anyone to fight such a powerful human characteristic when they can't get doctors nor preventives---to be honest that was plain mean to say.canada

My statement was directed at my own country as I don't actually know how other countries deal with this problem.



But it would seem if the governments can provide money for food and medical care, money could also go towards education and preventatives.

Procreation is not the cause. Western greed and apathy is.

Irregardless of the circumstances of their birth all children deserve the basic things: food, shelter, love etc.

Western greed and apathy is.

I realize we come from a rich country however to be rich we have to have lots to be rich.

I know that Canada sends billions every year to poverty stricken countries ti help them---how much more can our countries do before we need help!?

A rich man gets rich for the plain fact he makes sure his payout is less than his intake.

I work in a field that I make cash daily I make sure that my payout never goes over my intake daily.

I always end the day with more than I began with!

I have compassion and passion for people with less and have no desire to degrade them nor build off of them---so to me it's mean to say things like they should take more responsibility for having babys--they are human beings.canada
