...hmmm... it is funny how that worked out.... somehow people can't make a go of it. let's say in Africa..
. but yet this crater of yours.. chose to put some of the largest animals..
. this planet has.. in this place as well..
...ohh... I guess it's because the animals.. don't kill themselves over diamonds... are have tribal wars... human beings make it hard on human beings... just imagine how well off Africa would be.. if they learned to just get along....

.. it took North America a long time to figure this out...

Reminds me of this Midnight Oil song "Dead Heart": White man came, took everything"...
I'm not entirely sure about Africa, but I think many of the ppl there were nomadic. So they went where there was food and water, like the indians in America and the Aboriginals in Australia.
White man came and put borders up, started claiming land, restricting hunting grounds etc etc etc and allocated land to them (if at all) from which they could not live.
How to sort it out .. you can't simply move all these ppl to other places because there are borders, rules. Plus in many 3rd world countries ppl are poor because their own government is corrupt as ****. If these governments would sort their chit out, would help an awful lot.

From what I've heard, certain countries, like the States, buy loads of grain of African countries for a few dollars. They got a contract, nice and cheap grain, while the Africans in that country(s) are starving themselves. Which will probably bring us back to Montsanto, Big Pharma etc etc ..

As long as ppl don't change and start thinking "love & sharing" as opposed to "power & money", ppl will starve and suffer ...

Apart from that, the suffering makes other people care, open their heart and willing to help out, so in the end things can and will change.

Time to put an end to this lamentation. take an hour and watch this documentary. World is not moving nowhere near to the doomsday according to the latest statistics. It is adjusting with the higher life span of people, it is adjusting with the 'close to zero' child mortality rate- once so common before the modern medicine, and it is also adjusting with the poverty in 3rd world contries by bringing education to these countries. Only an educated mind can make better desicions and while funding militia factions with charity money may not help those countries much, then continuously getting education to the masses certainly will- it makes people able to help themselves.
Your knowledge of poverty in 3rd world countries may need an urgent update - watch it

My thoughts on starvation?

Starving sucks the big time.

Wonder how the pricks and prickess's who dance and sing manage to convince dumb idiots they care.

I can't fathom, why anyone would want the starving people to suffer, or die.
..
Years ago, people sent millions upon millions of dollars worth of food and medical supplies to Ethiopia...
Watching the videos of what happened when the cargo planes landed, was disheartening to say the least. The militias were there to confiscate the food and supplies, and
only a very small portion made it to the starving people.
Similar story with the monies that were sent. Much of the money had to be paid out in the form of bribes, to the regional governments, in order for the supply planes to be allowed to land.... Only to have the militias steal everything.


.
Follow the money.

Huh?
Countries are made after people live there. In hindsight.
A country is just the borders the population within the borders agree upon and are willing to defend.
They don't "make" famine countries and then ask people to move there...



I can understand this... so it was a overload of population way back BC and even earlier... where they left to go to a part of their country and becouse they did this ...they have to live in famine ... why would they ever do that... go there... where is nothing to live off the land ...

if a system that exist has failed to provide the basic 3 most needs of all human beings first, above all other priorities, safety, food, & shelter, than only a new better system will be capable of doing what old systems were flawed or not truly most caring about for all as one.

some care for happy and pleasure for one, and some care about happy and pleasure for self and all who is like them self, but the greatest of all human intellects and wisdom that create dynamic better today's and tomorrows for the most for all that exist, be those who care about the basic good of all the most, not just some.
