my answer to: The Davos Question

[tmprogram]

shes trying to look smart

[TOILETLOG]

untimely death in some form or another is God's way. history over time has been a real good indicator of that. let death be - a mechanism from the heavens to cull the size of the herd when it gets too big.

[Nemiji]

I can buy nets and save people!? wow!..

There are campaigns out there that promote buying nets. I could buy multiple nets and yet would that really do good?

These people who survive malaria with our nets also face death from malnutrition, diarrhea, parasites from diseased water..

[OUallday]

Exactly! Nets and Bug spray...hahaha...darling your reality is fucked!

[thisisdijon]

Not really, those figures may not work as she theoretically quoted but it will drop the death rates in these areas significantly in practice.

[TheSkippy2010]

@OUallday at least she is making an attempt to learn about other cultures & is showing an interest in helping people. If you have any input that you feel she could benefit from why don't you include that in your comment instead of criticizing her.

[Adipatus]

Those glases make you look super smart and

super smart = super sexy !!!!!

[Azagthoth1000]

Lift the ban on DDT.

[Adipatus]

Re: 'Lift the ban on DDT!

Even if it poisons half the animal and human population?

If it kills a few million people, I'm all for it.

[checkmyfinger]

Oh he has a foundation has he? That's nice of him. Don't forget Donald Trump, I also spoke about him. I still remember one day that I saw in the news: the President of Congo was building the most expensive personal Jet Plain in the world with some details in gold, whilst his people were starving and dying. Dear Adipatus, I only spoke about Gates and Trump to give you American examples. But American criticism was never my intention. I just don't agree with "some" social differences.

[checkmyfinger]

Hi Emily,

You're right about Africa and malaria, perhaps you should do some research about Dengue aswell, since it's so close to your country. Perhaps if there was a limit to what some people earn like Bill Gates, Donald Trump and some soccer players, and that extra money could go to schools, to help poor people, etc etc. This wold would be a better place. But because most of these guys are selfish bastards, I guess they will never let anything like this to happen. Farewell ;)

[Adipatus]

Dear checkmy finger,

I don't think that giving Gates' billions to people would solve anything. It would make things worse. Poor people would use the money to make more babies and to keep more of them living below the poverty line. The end result will be a temporary relief of poverty and an even bigger demographic explosion and chronic starvation of people, and what to say about the corresponding environmental catastrophe.

[checkmyfinger]

Hi Adipatus, Err, sorry, I don't think you got the general idea. I agree with you not giving people money directly. But, with some cleverness providing them with medical attention and of course some contraceptives as well... You have to understand that some poor people don't even know how to prevent from having babies. I truly think that that "extra money" should be applied to help everyone, to build better schools, Hospitals, to give old people better retirement conditions, etc etc...

[Adipatus]

Dear Check,

I think Mr. Gates is in a position to give education, health care, and sexual education to poor people, as I believe his fountation does. The problem is that many powerful religious groups that have the US government in a stranglehold consider it a sin to teach people about having sex, and how to have sex without suffering the consequences of disease and pregnancy. I think those are the real bastards.

[Mcjabbokoliver]

hey i'd put it up her butt!

[mikecute7]

the question is how to change the "WORLD" not just countries with malaria... there are far more whorst problems than that...

[gerardmclurch]

id fuck her

[chilies4life]

Dear emily,

U LEARNED ALL TALKING POINTS OF BUSHAMERIKKKA.

BUT , HAVE U LEARNED THE TRUTH, THAT " EVIL WHITE RACE, FROM THE SLUMS OF EUROPE, INBREEDING ILLEGALLY, AROUND THE WORLD IN "STOLEN LANDS WITH LOOTED WEALTH OF REST OF FREE&CIVILIZED HUMANITY",FOR OVER 500 YEARS, ARE THE " ROOT CAUSE OF EVIL&ALL HUMAN PROBLEMS OF POVERTY, DISEASE ,WARS, VIOLENCE, &GLOBAL WARMING"?.

SOLUTION=TOTAL DECIMATION OF EVIL WHITE RACE.

HARSH, BUT A COMING REALITY.

IN 21st CENTURY NEW FREE WORLD ORDER.

^^ Fuck UP

[DocWeasel76]

well try sick bastard

[dannylberry2]

she is HOOT :-)

[EarlTanks]

What about the homeless people here in the United States you Hippy? Jesus, go to the Hollywood, become a star and go save some other country...you'd fit right in.

[steven1uk]

i wonder how much your trip there cost and how much pollution it threw into the atmosphere...

[PurpleHaze0119]

suck on my cock bitch...and stop reading that shit u wrote...it dont count if its not from the heart bitch

[justinakakemper]

your obviosely not a intelligent person since all you could come up with was hate

[SatinDido23]

she's a young girl trying to help people she saw hurting. that's the essence of what we need.

[friendswithferries]

malaria is one of natures way of limiting the population of humans. when malaria was partially eradicated in some parts of southeast asia, population boomed; and so with poverty.

[illbleedya]

All I hear is wahh wahh wahh, wah-wah, wahwawawawa. Charlie Brown style!

Your just a cute emo chick and nothing else.

[cyberboy222]

this does not answer the davos question it just about people in damaged countries but she came up with a ok point

[DoctorPenis]

Instead of flying to South Africa, you could have spent the money of your flight for charity. And also it would have reduced global warming. Start in front of your door. And next time buy less big glasses. It's a wast of material.

[xxwalkamongusxx]

se// your glasses and feed a family

[homelessboy92]

Think bigger sweetheart. good start though.

[joeyblast]

wrong idea. we don't need to protect people against malaria. we need to figure out how to create worm holes in time and space. progress?? how about inter-galactic progress? keeping a little thing called NATURAL SELECTION in mind, how the fuck are nets and bug spray going to help our species advance in any way? c'mon now. u hippies gotta start using your b-r-a-i-n !

[fugazics]

easy for a wealthy kid that never experienced poverty to suggest a $5 gift for everyone. i rather recommend to stop muslim warlords and their reigns in order to save all the UN war budget for the people mentioned in the clip. set the world free from religious cowards, i recommend a bullet. we all will then be well of for centuries. that´s my davos message. ps: miss smart: try touching a human liver, do service for the red cross in afghanistan.

[fanclib]

ur right there are many curable diseases in africa and there is no reason why this shouldnt be a top priority. now!

[TOILETLOG]

malaria = population control.  God must want it that way, otherwise there would be no plasmodium protozoans, right?

[Adipatus]

I agree that we should make a monument to malaria for its efforts in curtailing human overgrowth, but I totally rebuke the crap about your Daddy in the Sky.

[TOILETLOG]

maybe we should view malaria as God's way of culling the size of the global herd.

the earth's tangible resources are finite, yet the ability for humans to breed is unlimited. notice how the areas with the highest birth rates are the poorest/most disease prone?

check out the 4 horsemen in the book of revelations. malaria falls under pestilence. death/war/etc. is God's way, let it happen.

[Adipatus]

Dear Toilet, I thought that your "God" references were total bunck. Real problems require real solutions, not fairytales.

However, I wholeheartedly agree with your conclusions: Now that tigers, lions, and bears are either dead or safely behind bars, we must consider malaria a check on humanity's runaway growth.

[downdruss]

However, Saving lives in a 3rd world country isn't going to hurt the world NEARLY as much as saving the lives of americans.

[Adipatus]

Dear downdruss, what do you mean? The Americans are around 300 million, whereas the people of the third world are around five billion. Surely the third world is hurting the world more. And all of them want to live like Americans, wich will entail more consumption of natural resources than anyone can imagine.

[downdruss]

Simply stated and true; saving the lives of a group of 3 world humans isnt going to have NEAR the negative impact on the environment as if you did the same for a group of ANY industrialized/commercialized country residents.

[downdruss]

"Saving the world" & "Saving lives" are two vastly different goals. The reason humans are in this mess is because there are too many of us. We aren't dying as young as we used to, mothers aren't dying during labor as much...etc Medical science has lengthened our life expectancy to ridiculous ages where we can spend the last 20 years depleting the ozone from the comfort of our nursing home bed all snug in adult diapers.

[checkmyfinger]

If every couple would have only one child, the wold population would be cut in half. Modern couples are opting more & more to have only one child because of their busy lifes. Even if every couple would have 2 kids instead of one, It would mean that the world population would maintain. Just do some math...

[coffeebreal]

what does a vaccine against malaria cost?

[TOILETLOG]

there is no vaccine to prevent malaria.

[Adipatus]

Emily said her party got malaria pills, not malaria vaccinations.

[jubbster]

rid the world of relgion, = 1 saved planet

[brady2007us]

smart chick!! freaking hot!!

[Adipatus]

Dear brady 2007us, you are absolutely right. She is extremely smart and hot, too.

[xXjRaDXx]

this bitch needs

to get laid

[loudmuteperson]

Like that would ever happen

[bubblestengo87]

you nerd

[serginmatius]

who is davos? jesus is the answer to all life problems

[Kostly]

EGADS!!

ANOTHER, person who wants to prolong and sustain the population problem. Give me a break! Don't you people see? POPULATION is the problem!!

[Mikalaah]

Good idea, tho its already being done..

[corrinabraithwaithe]

an excellent and practical idea. One of the most sensible responses I have seen yet. Well done

[KHC831]

why money to the african countries? why not to the homeless ppl in the US, why not the poor ppl in south america. why use the money on nets? why not spend it on cancer research? they both save lives but if you look at the better picture, nets will only save those who are in africa, whereas a cure for cancer can save ppl worldwide. just my opinion =]

[Adipatus]

Well, the answer to your questins must be: Why not?

Just because cancer is a big problem, that does not mean that we are gunna put life on hold until it is solved. It might well never be solved, and other problems are not gunna wait til we're ready to deal with them.

[Adipatus]

Dear khc, Also, the Americans must give money to the third world to prevent them from turning into a threat against the US, the way some poor muslims have responded to calls to attack the US. It's a little investment in terrorism prevention.

[Mikalaah]

the 5 biggest killers in africa is

Diare

pneumonia

malaria

mesils

and birth

This is for children under 5 who are the most weak once.

[Mikalaah]

In denmark this is already happening.Each year we collect money to africa.

This year its for mosquito nets, malaria is the biggest child killer in africa. With 4 others sickness. So ppl are already doing this. And been doing this for a long time. Tho malaria is not the biggest killer, and if we helped all thoose sick ppl in africa then there would be way to many PEOPLE cuz you need to remember that they already are having to many children and are to many.

[tracyterry]

hey Emily. you like to take it up the ass?

[Graffwarsdotcom]

LOLZ

[utubesbest1]

a meer $5? lol!! i could by my self some nice sweets with that! fuck the nets!

[Adipatus]

Dear utubesbest, LOL!

[Adipatus]

1. Why the fuck are we so sure we are entitled to have a small and fragile planet support the however many trillions of humans that we insist on crapping out?

[Adipatus]

2. Who the fuck died and made us the owners of this planet at the expense of all other living and non-living entities and ecosystems?

3. Why the fuck we don't give a damn about the countless species we have driven and are driving into extinction, but are willing to spare no expense to keep every fucking human alive, even though as large animals we are each placing enormous demands on extremely limited natural resources?

[Adipatus]

4. What makes us so special that we must be exemted from the pain of death required by the evolutionary processes that gave us life?

[Adipatus]

5. Who the fuck can I give five bucks to make sure that the human herd can be decreased to a sizeable one billion, and not the 12 billion we are so well poised to achieve?

[Adipatus]

6. Could it be that malaria is one of the mechanisms that We The Planet Earth have to stave off the planetary, irreversible death that will necessarily result from this cancer that is Homo Sapiens?

[Steppid]

THANK YOU. However much I agree with you Adipatus, Ive come to accept that the stupidity of the masses is an integral part of our own evolution. Our existence is as natural a phenomenon as the existence of guano on the Gallapagos.

Species that dont survive us have weaker genes.

And those of us who DO survive ( the most unscrupulous assholes) deserve to stay here on a dying planet.

[Sudd3nn]

I totally agree with you there is to many of us

[Steppid]

THANK YOU. However much I agree with you Adipatus, Ive come to accept that the stupidity of the masses is an integral part of our own evolution. Our existence is as natural a phenomenon as the existence of guano on the Gallapagos.

Species that dont survive us have weaker genes.

And those of us who DO survive ( the most unscrupulous assholes) deserve to stay here on a dying planet.

[Steppid]

Somewhere around the mouths of underwater volcanos, tiny amoeba that live in extreme temperatures will be the "primeval slime" at the beginning of the next phase of earths evolution. As we continue to warm up and gravitate naturally a little closer to the sun , they will flourish and replace us. And we will have been one of the most brief encounters earth has ever known.

Amen

[Adipatus]

Dear Steppid: Let's not kid ourselves into thinking that we are tougher and greater than the animals we eat, destroy, use, and enslave. You are on to something: cockroaches, insects, and amoeba will barely notice after we are gone and they continue to thrive on few resources. But as "Kings of Creation" we'll be up the creek without a paddle once our precious civilization dies of hunger, thirst, or war. Then we won't be able to live neither as kings nor as paupers.

[Adipatus]

Dear Steppid: Maybe once we are gone some life will continue to thrive and even evolve intelligence to equal ours. But, alas, they will not have access to the resources and sources of energy that we have squandered. Maybe they won't be able to get past inventing the wheel because of this lack. If we destroy our mother, we'll have destroyed ourselves. And if we destroy ourselves, we will have squandered Earth's only chance to create sustainable, space-faring intelligent life.

[Steppid]

Adipatus. again we are mostly in agreement. I guess what Im driving at here, is that even our destructive wonton abuse of resources seems to be an integral part of our evolutionary road. I do my utmost not to contribute to that road, but then again, compared to small Indian family I'm a bloated ignorant resource hog. Yes we will destroy ourselves and take fukwads of life forms with us. But what is resource to us, wont resemble what is resource to those who survive.

[thefunkybeat79]

First of all... you're really cute.

Second, it's great that you want to help those people survive malaria, but how are mosquito nets a solution? I'm assuming the nets go over their beds? What happens when they have to get out of bed to go do stuff? Won't the mosquitoes get them then? Why don't we get them vaccines like you and your family received? Would that be really expensive?

[TophatahpoT]

... the mosquitoes are more active during night time were you not listening? the nets will save many lives.

[Adipatus]

Why the fuck are we so sure we are entitled to have a small and fragile planet support the however many trillions of humans that we insist on crapping out?

Who the fuck died and made us the owners of this planet at the expense of all other living and non-living entities and ecosystems?

[michaelm010892m]

this girl iss hott.

[Adipatus]

Dear michael010, she is totally phat!!!!!

[loudmuteperson]

you mean fat with a FAT.

[loudmuteperson]

She's not really smart she's reading off something. All pretty girls who seem smart are all stupid.

[prince0427]

that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard..

[loudmuteperson]

I was just kidding about the pretty girl thing, but still a real genious would have just had all that information in her head instead of reading off of a paper she probably didn't even write.

She tried to send me a message trying to say I was stupid, and being a bitch, but she is obviously the ignorant one posting a video on youtube thinking she is not going to get negative responses.

[voicesOfReason2]

emilywoolf has a Thelma Dinkley thing going on. I just jacked off to this video.

Am I wrong?

[loudmuteperson]

NICE! hahaha thats great.

[prince0427]

these people have been living without mosquito nets for centuries now.. an African friend of mine told me he's gotten malaria like 20 times in his life and before he came to Holland malaria felt like a flu.. so I think wasting $5 for some nets is kinda selfish of you.. won't you agree it's better to give them education so in the future they can buy there own nets? something to think about...

[Adipatus]

Dear prince 0427, that's a great point! Humanity has lived, survived, and thrived with malaria for millions of years. Let's not pretend that life is impossible with malaria. Please! Human blood has even evolved to resist malaria. I mean, come on!

[atlscribe]

You look like that one bitch from Everwood. The emo version. S'all good though.

[ansiou]

it seems to me like you just took a video, then replied so people would watch thinking that it was an actual reply, but apparently you want to start ur own damn christians fund, im pretty sure thats not what the davos question or whatever was about. fag

[loudmuteperson]

i agree about the fag part

[MattChez]

it might be a sad fact that so many people die from malaria,, but maybe this is the worlds way of pushing back at the human race, we have encroached on the wilderness far too much and it is fighting back, besides this point, the world is overpopulated, if we start "saving lives" then the problem only increases.. the terrible truth is that to save the world, millions and millions of people must die OR we mush colonize other planets,, which seems more likely to happen???

[hybridtraffic]

girl, you are being logic,

so many money goes to wars, fighting and stuff,

they could save the world but they don't want it too,

may be they thinking they will not benefit anything from it,

you have a great heart,

[k1e1v1i1n77]

$5.50 x 3000000000 = $16,500,000,000.00 i just dont have that kinda cash on me . and thats befor replacments or education fees for the ppl to use them or distribution costs

[jerklamb]

to be perfectly honest, I stopped the video immediately after the music started because it's extremely loud and annoying.

[ansiou]

exactly dude XD i was wondering if anyone called her on that lol

[Uccenter67]

Right there with ya

[1JKLIPP1]

I totally agree. Malaria is the leading cause of death for kids 5 an under in Africa and the longer we can protect them from malaria allows them to grow and develop properly. Its a great idea I know Rick O'Reiley the former columnist from Sports Illustrated is big on this idea too.

[ShrinerMcbitey]

wait a minute, we want more people to live? i thought over population was one of the earths biggest problems?

[TwinNarutoRPG]

I'm sorry, but malaria doesn't affect 1 out of 2 people in the world. Though it affects many, and there's a quick, easy and cheap solution to it. Did I mention it's not costly? Well, for us (America and others) it's not a problem. It's only a tiny percentage of our total money, compared to the economy of other countries. Thus, a much easier task for us. So I agree with you in this sense.

[shnaaarf]

man those glasses are s-e-x-y

[danboy1983]

I like the practicality of your solution. It is unique in that respect from a great many other videos that give complaints but no solutions. However, I agree that your idea lacks results with longevity. Keep going, though! I appreciated this video very much.

[mayormcch33z]

You don't really know what you're talking about. Those glasses are terrible.

[loudmuteperson]

agreed

[rharcus]

Billions of lives?  I wasn't aware billions die due to the lack of mosquito nets.

Nice sentiments, good intention, but..very mis-teen-america ish answer.

[leneia]

It makes more sense to begin a mosqito net INDUSTRY there - using local labor and locally produced materials. This not only provides a solution, but an opportunity to empower them to make choices about what to buy to save their own lives. I think $5.50 towards organizing this effort makes more sense.

[thehmmmm]

much better insight. easier on both countries and much more long term

[leneia]

I found the images and your plea stirring and emotionally moving. It is sad people cannot afford the $5.50 USD to purchase something to save their own lives. I concur with another commenter: A band-aid will only aid in creating a temporary fix to a much bigger underlying problem. They need to create among themselves a society aiding the advancement of their community. You can give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he will eat forever.

[JackKinree]

Good answer, but governments won't take it on board. some will but not all

[Tritium8]

nice respond...

but the ppl meeting in Davos wont listen...

u responded to some propaganda.

only solution.. Peace

Shut Davos and the WTO down.

creative resistance is the solution (for me)

resistance/peace

[metalo1973]

resistance to what?

[CallmeCrazy92]

yeah...I'm confused to...Davos is a huge meeting of brillent people that get together and brain storm ideas to help better the world. How is that preventing peace?

Yes, understand that many of the ideas may never be used, but isn't good that people are at least thinking and trying?

[divinacomedias]

Currency backed by people "each person is worth at least $5.50"... what would happen?

[riv1975]

Do you realize that your video is one of a very FEW Davos answers given by women? Amazing video, keep talking and speaking up for the women of the world.

peace

[Sfabia]

In my opinion your right in one point: I read recently in Scientific American that really little money can save millions if well spent. There was pretty much about malaria. So it is true. But the whole problem is about delivering it to people. The idea, yes, it is great. But I see youve been to Africa and yet dont see the vital problem: the warlords. They intercept majority of convoys. The sad truth is that we need guns to help africa. Lots of guns.

[halfchoke]

Don't bother wasting money trying to help africans, help your fellow country men first!

[traceur9]

Nice Video!

[iloveyankeecandle]

we need to do much more for those in Africa. The babying they recieve from the United States and other nations is simply not suffiecient to truly save those people. We gives them food, but it only lasts so long, as will the proposed nets, which will help but not fix the problem. What these people really need is education, towns, jobs, houses, how can we have any pride in our countries if we sit and watch our fellow humans suffer and die as they are?

[hotnhornyhelen]

you're hot n that was some clever shit

[Singul4r1ty]

I thought this already was in motion, Sachs made lots of noise about malaria. But it never hurts to bring it to the attention. Although the execution should also be thought of: should it be free or not, locally produced, maintained (a net without proper impregnation is ineffective) and not to forget educate people on why it is important to use it!

[Bestm8ts]

Its nice to see a mature response to the question!

[neddotcom]

Hi Emily, great video and subject. I had a similar experience in Uganda in February 2007. Anyone interested in helping after seeing your video should see the Nothing But Nets web site. They can learn more about Malaria and even buy a net for someone in Africa. Good work and good luck.

[neddotcom]

Hi Emily, great video and subject. I had a similar experience in Uganda in February 2007. Anyone interested in helping after seeing your video should see Nothing But Nets (dot) net. They can learn more about Malaria and even buy a net for someone in Africa. Good work and good luck.

[Chewxy]

Or DDT!

[Adipatus]

Dear Chewxy, DDT may help to kill the moskitoes that carry malaria, but ddt also poison the food chain and kills living things. We are not alone yet on this planet. Also, mosquitos can evolve resistance to ddt and come back stronger after a few generations, as happened in the 1970 when ddt was widely used (and is probably still used in the third world anyway).

[zhongguohua88]

You are supposed to use the "Post a video response" option on the question.

[traceur9]

I didn't even know that, where do you get that intel?
