  • excuse me but who do you think you are? by America you are meanin' the "country" not the continent so stop calling it amerca you idiott, it is the united state OF america... such a selfish person should be in the same situation of the third world countries..

    by the wayy just in case, you are not funny, get something more productive to do...

  • Wh

  • @ihatefurrys

    I like your idea!!! It's a win win situation!!!

  • You are a fucking stupit idiot.

  • @pitochio *facepalm*

  • I disagree. Yeah, there are farmers in hungry countries. But if most of people in that said country are starving, then they're not producing enough food to feed everyone. Therefore the U.S. should step in to donate food. There's nothing wrong with giving to the poor.

  • Harry Potter books in the back!!!

  • um not being mean but i diddnt understand a thing u said....lol but i think i get whqat ur saying......random

  • This guys relatives were nazi exterminators. It makes me sick to my stomach the message he is trying to get across not to help the poor. we should raid this dudes kitchen and steal his food because he is obviously greedy with his pizza rolls.

  • @NineInchNails25 greedy with his pizza rolls lol

  • @NineInchNails25 If we give economic support to Africa, they're just going to have too many children (African families tend to be many times larger than European or American families). If every one of those children survived, we'd have at least thrice as many people who would need financial aid again in a few years and would have even fewer resources to support an even larger population. We need to let nature take it's course.

  • Why don't we just eliminate Poverty by Exterminating the Poor???

    No poor people means no Poverty! Think about it! It's SO SIMPLE!!!

  • @SamuelJoaodaSuica Not extermination. If we cut off all aid to those countries, their population will decline until it reaches a number which the country's limited resources can support, then hopefully they'll learn to have smaller families.

  • yo whats up with this title this fool needs to get his head bashed in! fruit cake dick loving bitch im gonna cancell your youtube account

  • Yes u rite bout that one he a jk

  • well my friend I am thankful that I am Muslim And I am really the poorest . And In the name of Allah I can give anything . Plus these days will pass very soon, The poor will not stay poor and the rich will not stay rich, Especially America is very near to its end. It is not that i wish them this but according to the government of America. with wrong deeds the American people will pay for all of it , So you please start to think about your self while you stand up in front God , wt you ll say ?

  • poor people are punished by jesus for being black

  • talking talking... but in the end - it's just some smart guy's talking. many people understand everything what he's talking about, but...

  • Brother I agree with what you said. I give money ' every month 'to the impovished and uneducated poor is India. The terrible caste system there has gone on for over 3,000 years, and in africa only 400 years. Gospel for Asia donates 100 % all money given to where you say you want it to go. This is varified by independant third parties who monitor giving.

  • Alright...I came here thinking you were going to rant about 'stop feeding the poor, as in poor on the side of the road.' But you are right here. We need to stop babying other countries and let them develop or they're never going to go anywhere.

  • Comment removed

  • People are stupid. This guy really thinks about what's going on.

  • the people who like this video desn't care about the poor

  • @bluemooncandy that's right. The world is builded so the strong survive and the weak die

  • As a Westerner i am honest enough to say that my lifestyle is partially parasitical on the labour and the wealth of the Third World... I cannot accept the childish lie that suggests me and mine is 'self made' or made in a vacuum when in fact it depends on massive exploitation abroad.

  • POUR THE FEED!

  • dude i love ur videos,, but 0.2% is less than 5,4,3,2 and one percent hahaz

  • most stupid person ive ever seen get a life u stupid animal

  • @FuriousOnee I actually might be one of the smartest people you've ever seen. I'm just being honest =X And honestly, I doubt you watched the whole video or understood it.....do you have an economics degree like me? probably not =P lol

  • @AmanJohnX u arent one of the smartest people ive ever seen

  • @FuriousOnee make that judgement after you watch and comprehend my videos....so you think I'm dumb in this video? I shall clarify the main point since you were silly enough to dislike it simply for the title (an emotional reaction which tells me you are either not intelligent, or you are young) Why help people and keep them in a constant state of needing help when you can just teach them how to help themselves?

  • @AmanJohnX ah man just stfu , u are annoying and u think that ur smth big , but ur piece of shit :D

    

  • Agree! Instead of giving other countries food, we should teach them how to gather and provide food for themselves

  • i stopped at 2 minutes.. dude, this makes sense.. if we help ourselves, other countries will break off from eachother and just help THEMselves? idk.. i'll have to keep watching.. xD

  • yur stupid

  • @mayenleslie98 I know! I can't get over how stupid I am sometimes - I totally never listen to arguments all the way or try to understand other people's point of view....worst of all, I have no evidence to back up anything I say! =/

  • @AmanJohnX I always thought that! Why should we stop fixing ourselves because we are never going to change...as a matter of fact nothing will ever change!

  • So what your saying is to donate to charity here in america and help the american children and instead of donating to foreign countries we should instead push our govt to help them change their ways to prevent starving and prevent them from being homeless in the first place?

  • @jubjubmh316 yes

  • @AmanJohnK thats good man, i dont see why you have haters. i guess they never heard the saying "give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime"

    anyways cool vid, subscribed!

  • @jubjubmh316

    It's not that simple, the US and Europe and other powers are IN THEIR BUSINESS. It's not just a question of telling them to cop on - we all have our hands in their pockets - this last year an area the size of Spain was taken from people in Africa and rented out by their Govts to foreign companies, pension funds, foreign Govts - to grow crops for... There are also genocidal wars raging fuelled by Western demands for resources. Their leaders are often selected by the West... etc.

  • wow.. why are dickheads hating on you?

  • @snowpants123 i was thinking the same thing, its not even thought out hatred its just "get a job"

    "faggot"

    "you are smart and i am jealous, i dunno how to counter everything or anything you said, so....your a fag"

    am i right?

    ya im right

    <3 aman

  • get a job

  • @Johnszurzynski what's your point? 

  • u dont need to make campaign if u dont wanna help..just take care of ur own.. its will dfrnt when u on their side begging for a cup of water just to stay alive.. and next time make a few feets from ur camera coz ur lips looks too huge n its cover whole of ur face..tq

  • idiot

  • try contraception if you have no money no where to live............a kid is the last thing you need

  • Young man, don't listen to the haters...judging from your intelligent, confident, humble personality, you're gonna be a successful dude. Don't let ignorant a-holes try to bring you down. Peace.

  • More people might give but how do we know if the money is really helping the poor. Too many scam organizations and donation money going to pay big fat salaries.

  • what the F! still responding to these comments.. this video pisses me off.. a big mouthed monkey is not allowed here.,dah?

  • I have a theory that if the industrial countries cut all help to Africa and force them to make it on their own they will find a balance eventually and be able to form a sustainable society. Giving them money and food will support a population that is larger than Africa naturally can support and so the help will last for decades before anything will happen. They could make it illegal to have kids you cant afford or something too.

  • @dassfrid That'd be perfect.

  • I agree with you. let their government help them thats why they are elected. We have enough troubles of our own trying to survive. Im tired of them saying oh rich country. My ass. Nothing is for free so why give when you dont get back Believe me when i was at my lowest point and desperate i needed help and you know what i got nothing. Ill never ever give to charity or donate my hard earned money to a lousy shit country who spend it on weapons and crimes. Bullshitters they all will kill you.

  • I'm thankful for my mom. Without her I'd probably be homeless, starving and miserable. She could have turned me away at 20. Knowing full well that I'm a large burden, and she could have done so with a clear conscience. But she didn't, rather than putting herself first, she thought about me, my financial situation and my well-being. She gives so much and has so little. That's what I'm thankful for.

  • Annoying video!!

  • hahaha man i hope you have some bodyguards cuz alot of people are seriously going for your blood right now....sorry dude but u may feel on top right now cuz of your weird ass ego lol but god bless cuz youll be 6 feet under ground soon and then your mama will be crying over your coffin and guess wut....people wont even feel for her cuz of the product she produced...which is you...a monkey...a twink.....a dumbass....GOOOD LUCK BUDDY.

  • @Hajboya3 Couple of questions....1) do you know economics, have a degree? 2) do you have family who works in poor countries....also a politician....3) did you watch the whole video?

  • @AmanJohnX ......first things first mr. "I think im so great but have nothing to back it up"...i just came back from uganada......helped in building a water damn. Have you heard of the bujagali damn....well that too is something my ommunity and i are working on...and have you heard of the Aga Khan...thats my spiritual leader....now try and ask me those same questions again. And no i did not watch the rest of your vid cuz i was too ticked off with the majority of it.

  • Fuck off you twat

  • AMAJOHNK! I love your videos man keep it up! Don't mind this haters, Haters gonna hate! ;)

  • AmanJohn, THANK YOU!

  • Dude Fuck You...If i See You Am A Slap That Shit Out You...You Mork Ass Punk

  • @Whisky3star why would you do that? Does the truth hurt you fat fucking prick?

  • well i guess this ass hole dont have to help. but someone else can. well i guess he dont have that much cash. well he dont have to help if he dont want to. what a jack ass

  • @resentaj You didn't even watch the video - I feel so bad for people like this.

  • @AmanJohnX

    well i did and i do feel so bad about it. i hate to see people like that. i just look at them and think to myself like i wish i could help them out but i can't. but sorry if i miss judge you

  • Dude Ur A Fucking Punk...You Talk Alot About Nothing Mo,Fucker

  • how will our country ever become better if we can't get past hurting others just so our point of view can be heard ?everyone has a right to there own opinion. even if it's wrong. you may have any opinion you want. what makes you an intelligent respected member of society is how you choose to express yourself and your opinions .we together can be a great nation.i just happen to believe we should be able to help those in need in our own country as well as other countries

    LIVE LOVE BE FREE

  • You Fucking Pussy.....Stop Talking

  • @Whisky3star Thank you for your comments - however, I seriously doubt you would say this to my face - I actually feel sorry for haters, gotten thousands over the years - it's sad =/

  • @AmanJohnK @whisky3star

    hahah

    aman would wreck you so hard x)

  • where the fuck is the mute button?

  • @breakinreno11 you just have to hit the volume button ;)

  • Turn those deserts into oasis's.

  • @Dreameatertv Thank you! you sound like a very pleasant, calm, and reasonable person...it's so cool to see someone on Youtube that doesn't hide their vulgarity behind a screen name. I'm sure you could talk to your mom like this - you see a lot of internet gangsters these days...nice to know you're not one of them!

  • u fucken talk

  • Race is pure illusion.

  • u need help, and u need to shut up.

  • @AmeenAlNabbout thank you =) I appreciate the feedback - do you know where I could get help?

  • Hey nigger. Shut up.

  • @SpennyPwns Gah! So many haters! Instead of insulting him, explain why you agree or disagree with him! or just stop watching the video. Harmful words help no one. 

  • @BlakLotus Nobody gives a fuck what you have to say either. Donating to the poor is a bad idea. Let the world thin out in the areas where no real civilization exists. If your gods real, he would do something by now, yeah? Nothing. Those areas suffice to nothing. Life bitch smacks you, some people more than others.

  • what is better to teach people how to fish or supply them with the fish till you both run out....give them fish till they learn to fish? Hmmm the best thing to do is your small part!

  • IQ factors are bullshit.

    It's all about resources, and printing money to trade those resources.

    There is strength in numbers.

    If there are enough stupid people who believe that they're fighting for something good, then the others will be oppressed.

    This mulatto fool doesn't care about the little black Sudanese babies. He is right about sending aid, though.

    It is all about money, who prints it and gives it. IQ has NOTHING to do with money, unless you're saying that no money produces lower IQ

  • I like the Van Gogh. It is next to my fav pice of his.

  • what do i think? humans do not grow food because they are hungry because humans no longer grow food. Humans are not paid money because of hunger because some make more that others buy eat the same. finally Humans seldom if ever get hungry. last 100 years ago this would all be false.

  • AmanJohnK FTW!

  • but back to the originally argument about IQ and nation/race that we were having before you so delicately tried changing the subject into your favor...

    I can go on and on but I'll just let the facts speak for themselves...

    East Asian (106)

    White (103)

    Hispanic (89)

    Africans(85)

    Hispanic (89)

    Isn't it strange how in america where were all equal and have the same opportunities but yet the wealth and status is basically representing this chart quite well?

  • @dadecountyhustler305 and are you not intelligent enough to realize that maybe the mitigating factor is that WEALTH has been proven to be the MAIN determinant of IQ...you have a DIRECTIONALITY problem here, but b/c you don't know the first THING About psychological assessment you'll have to wikipedia that....take this from me...I can almost guarantee I have a higher IQ than you because I'm a "genius" but your stupid standards of IQ....IQ is basically worth nothing in measuring intelligence.

  • @AmanJohnK I never said IQ is 100% absolute factor, but it does hold some sway... IQ means basically your ability to problem solve and if you have a nation of low problem solvers (low IQ) then obviously its not going to thrive...

    "I can almost guarantee I have a higher IQ than you because I'm a "genius" but your stupid standards of IQ"

    No you dont, smart people never flaunt their intelligence. Besides you use your emotions to make your decisions smart people dont do this. This isn't a contest

  • @dadecountyhustler305 look at your word choice "Smart people NEVER flaunt their intelligence" ...really? NEVER....never means ...NEVER....this is not true....therefore you are wrong. People who make decisions are not intelligent? also not true...some of THE smartest people are emotional, and have a hot temper.....also, I don't use my emotions to make decisions....I go to the #1 party school, but I've NEVER taken a sip of alcohol, my EMOTIONS want me to fit in....my LOGIC tells me otherwise

  • @AmanJohnK "look at your word choice "Smart people NEVER flaunt their intelligence ...really?"

    There you go again, word picking... OK maybe not never, but damn near 95% of the time... This rule is also universal... This is why you see ugly girls wearing shirts that say "hotty"... I know that may sound silly, but people do and say these things to raise there self esteem and/or they have there own en-securities. Is this my personnel opinion? Sure, but c'mon man you dont notice these things yet?

  • @dadecountyhustler305 Actually, super intelligent people don't look down upon the dull. However, in a you tube commentary, they may say something like that.... The reason super intelligent people aren't condescending to the dumb people is that intelligence is likely caused by accident... nobody has control over who is truly intelligent and who is dumb. Often the truly dumb will have the sympathy and protection of the super intelligent because being super smart is not really a choice.

  • @dadecountyhustler305 you are not particular enough with your words or thoughts to be having the kind of debates your'e having with me...you called me "multi-cultural" not true...in fact, I think culture is one of the human species biggest problems....you ASSume so much, and you are not careful about TRUTH....it's really annoying. You need to learn a LOT more before you insult others or try to point out things (which the thing about IQ, you know very little about)

  • @AmanJohnK lol I find it very interesting how nearly every one of your comebacks do not have counter-arguments or facts/points but rather full of things like "I have a higher IQ than you" and "your not intelligent enough to have a debate with me", etc... This snarky attitude is quite common among college kids...

    Either way, what I said about IQ's has been known for centuries, studies done by dozens of different scientific agencies all coming to the same conclusions. So stop trying to debunk it

  • @dadecountyhustler305 i know this is really late in the game but i know Plenty of smart people who flaunt their intelligence. but i do agree that Super smart people tend to know that their intelligence is somewhat based on random chance and may be humbler and humans in general are prone to make decisions on their emotions. and to your comment on word picking it just kinda shows how analytical he is...which just proves his point....but anyways im no genius but just observering

  • @dadecountyhustler305 hmn tht are only statscs right huh bth in facet poor people from 3 rd world countries are more inteligent and smart bcse of ther lives the need to be smart to survive evry days over ther and tht not easy right,,,,,,,,, besides evry person its difrent and hve difrent iq level

  • @dadecountyhustler305 You have written the Hispanic IQ TWICE..........

  • If we had more people like AmanJohnK, the world would really be a nicer place to live, sounds like a very cliche line to say, but i cant find a better match for it.

    jaa bless!

  • Africa is poor not because of colonism but because of low IQ's... Africa has been an underachiever in technology, economy, political status, military power for over 10,000 years.

    It makes sense when the Europeans leave that the Africans will just resort back to there old ways...

    Hong Kong and India are doing fine

  • @dadecountyhustler305 Africa is poor because they don't have property rights/just institutions that allow their citizens to pursue their desire to have a better life..india is not doing "fine" Hong Kong is doing good because they have property rights and economic freedom...in fact....the richest countries are the most economically free...it has nothing to do with your idiot and retarded theory about IQ. lol...read a psychology book and learn a little more about IQ before u make such statements

  • @AmanJohnK Thats one of the reasons, but not the main one. There's very little economic freedom in China and they have the world's second best economy.

    and Yes IQ (intelligence) does play a HUGE role in rather or not a country thrives... To argue against this is to say intelligence plays no role... which is laughable...

  • @dadecountyhustler305 what's laughable is you saying that China has the 2nd largest economy...which is true if you don't count the Eurozone as one entity in which china would be 3rd....but still, let's go with your statement....well then, tell me why China's GDP per capita (person) makes it a developing country and FAR FAR FAR From even being considered developed....sure ~1o triliion dollars is alot or however much they make...split that between a billion people and the Chinese are POOR

  • @AmanJohnK Oh geez where do I start ... First I've been a forex trader for nearly 2 years. Im not claiming to know everything about the global economy, but dont try and pull any over-extrated statics out of your ass. Im well aware of China's GDP/person ratio mainly why China is so far behind is because the industrial revolution skipped them and there just getting caught up. Also Asians (at-least east Asians have the highest IQ on average around 106). This gives more argument to the "iQ theory"

  • @dadecountyhustler305 And China has less regulation than the US and other factors make it as rich as they are....such as artificially keeping their exchange rates low which helps their exports sales, you probably dont' know what this is or understand this, but that's the other reason....or how about their banking system how they keep US reserve dollars and sell them back to the US in the form of 20 year Bonds.....or how about how their government forcing savings to up investment.

  • @AmanJohnK "And China has less regulation than the US and other factors make it as rich as they are....such as artificially keeping their exchange rates low"

    You mean China has MORE regulation. You even said it yourself that they keep there exchange rates low. This is intervention NOT non-intervention, how you can confuse the 2 is beyond me. Plus The communist government dictates what can and cant be built... Not as bad as it was in the 50's but still communist.

    But this isn't about China?

  • @dadecountyhustler305 as you can see, there are A LOT of things you don't know about economics....probably EVERYTHING you don't know...and probably everything you don't know about psychology...so don't insult whole races of people like you know what the hell you're talking about....read a psychology text or research study and discover for yourself that intelligence is equally distributed and not an innate ability inherent in any race....learn something, stop making yourself look like a fool.

  • @AmanJohnK Keep in mind those IQ statics I gave you were on AVERAGE for race. Not every individual... Which means its very, very, very possible for a black guy to be smarter then an Asian.

    Now your going to disagree with me on this. For 2 reasons, 1 this scientific evidence of IQ and race (thats been known for centuries). Quickly puts your liberal/multicultural views to rest... Also your views you have are based on feelings and emotions not logic and reason.

    Your views are based on emotions.

  • @dadecountyhustler305 you're truly an idiot if you think IQ is the best way to measure intelligence....it does NOT measure ability beyond specific cognitive functions, clearly it does not measure your INABILITY to realize that operationalizing (making an abstraction such as intelligence measurable) is basically impossible, imperfect at best.....Yes, blacks have the lowest IQ but not because of innate inability in the few select areas in which IQ measures

  • @AmanJohnK well certainly IQ isnt the only measure intelligence,. but there are other scientific facts that tells us............environment also can affect ur intelligence too.

  • @dadecountyhustler305 I've worked in psychological research labs where we investigated the very question of "what is intelligence" and it's just mind numbing that you're going to suck off IQ...it's really pathetic and it makes you look like a complete moron who actually thinks a test such as IQ is perfectly accurate to measure something that literally can't be perfectly defined....seriously....get over yourself.

  • Fuck the Patriot Act. God bless Russell Feingold

  • get rid of that ugly 5 o'clock shadow

  • @SlumberCloud don't tell me what to do.

  • @AmanJohnK well, you stand they preach others what NOT to do "feed the poor" so I can make a comment about you. That semi-facial hair is fucking ugly. You look like you live in a car

  • @SlumberCloud sure...lol...that's barely a shadow...and men who have clean shaven faces....50% of them look like little girls. normally my facial hair is longer....many compliments.... and scientific evidence shows women like men with a light beard more than any other kind.

  • @AmanJohnK soo true

    

  • @SlumberCloud and besides, I made a suggestion based on EVIDENCE for society at large...I didn't single out an individual and give my personal opinion on style....which your opinion is clearly wrong.

  • Zeitgeist

  • aman i love you man.

  • "We shouldn't depend on the government to help those in need around the globe. Which is why this holiday season, you should give back."

    The assumption being I wish to help others in need around the globe.

    At the risk of sounding petulant, your other video highlights the importance of being selfish. I assume a great many of your viewers can make a sturdy case as to why giving to anonymous people around the globe does nothing to further their self-interest.

  • I don't know why.. but you sir... creeps me out..

  • Good practise, don't you think?

  • Church makes me feel negative, which made other people around me negative. My mom hates that I don't go. But I'm happier, and that makes things around me better. Who says I need to be religious now!??!

  • sry2say, you are a douchebag. You have WAAAAYYYY too much unwarranted self-importance.

  • Haha Colonialism is not taking xboxs . I think colonialism is about taking natural resources and using the workforce there to acquire currency - so you can then make or buy xboxs

  • ;O Yes you did eat too much

  • Money fucks everything up.

  • Great videos! you really do bring out some key points.

  • AmanJohnK for president.

  • Comment removed

  • awesome video! totaly agree with you.

  • It does seem odd going through all this trouble to get a software engineering degree when I would make more money delivering beets.

  • i recognice that painting behind yous :P

  • this guy is really trying to act like he is on a real t.v show....cause he cant afford the real training to be on real t.v......he sucks...

  • @MrKevingraham I think I'd have to take away about 6-7 years of education in order to qualify for most TV programs =)

  • @AmanJohnK Lmao! Right? It's like Bo Burnham's song Art is Dead.

  • @MrKevingraham no he is trying to prove a good point

  • Cool!! You have an xbox!!?? Play me on MW2 =D

    What's your Gamertag ^3^

  • "Patriot Act"

    Haha, win.

  • america is retarded they need to leave other countries alone WHOS HELPING US...NO ONE!

  • @MIXEDNA the planet earth should help each other out. stop thinking of it like that. how are they gonna give to us when they have nothing

  • i like you you're cool :) and you know what you're talking about!

  • You could always stop eating meat, which accounts for 50% of the worlds pollution.

    Considering that a cow eats 10 times the food it produces maybe cutting down on meat might be a good start.

  • @RicRagsLive This is a very important point that everyone should think about. Most people will pander to environmentalism but not commit to inconviencing themselves. Vegetarianism goes a long way to reducing polution and helping people evaluate what they eat.

    I've been a strict vegetarian before, and I'm sort of on the fence right now. In my opinion, a reduced meat diet (this might be 2-4 servings a weak) is the most enjoyable and nutrionally safe route to go. I highly recommend it.

  • I give to xharity at the end of every year, by giveing ten percent of my income to Operation blessing!

  • Everything

    I

    Have!

  • "Be thankful you're not in Somalia"

    If there wasn't a war, my family wouldn't have had to move, my grandfather was rich and so I would have been rich too, living in a mansion, etc... Yeah, thank god I'm not in Somalia....

  • I stuck with it until the end, and Im glad I did.

  • part 2 Another thing, what about survival of the fittest? I agree we want to help each other for the sake of mankind, but is it helping us all as a whole if we feed Muslims? Muslims are bigots, ppl with laws that say convert or be murdered and it's okay to beat our women. I really don't know what to think about the whole topic. Please tell me what you think.

  • @DavieDave59 as an atheist, you are probably significantly smarter than the average person, but in terms of Islam, you are flat out wrong.. 1) it is not a law that you kill converts..in fact it is a law that Muslims MUST let other people practice as they wish...even atheist. 2) it is NOT allowed to beat women, that whole thing was supposed to mock men who would even THINK about beating women by saying you can hit her with a toothstick sofly (it was supposed to embarrass this man).

  • You are very incorrect. If you leave Islam, punishment is death. Koran instructs muslims to kill infidels or convert them. Muslim men can beat their women. 2 women equal to 1 man. I can go on, the Koran is full of hate and bigorty and violence. It's Muslims vs everyone else. Sharia Law must be spread throughout the world, which involves violence or imtimidation. I have sent you a few links to show you that you are incorrect.

  • @AmanJohnK so you're saying that atheists are smarter than the average person or on average are? im an atheist, and i was just curious on that statement.

  • @naruto4100 Both. On average, an atheist will be smarter than others, making the "others" average. 

  • I have conflicting opionion and ideas about charity, feeding the poor or donating (to foriegn countries) ... You give them food, they eat and only survive another day, but teaching them how to farm or give them the resources to, so they can survive on there own I agree with. However, do we want to help ppl and societies that have the majority idealogy of horrible bronze age fairytales? I feel most in favor of trying to educate. As an atheist, I hate Islam and its horrible teachings and bigotry.

  • @DavieDave59 Few charities or governments actually just hand out food as a matter of course, they do that in emergency situations, i.e. famine due to drought or crop failure, mass migration due to war when refugees can only bring what they can carry. The rest of development work is aimed at just that - development: building schools, medical clinics and staffing them, digging wells, etc. People don't need to be taught 'how to farm', but I already posted about that somewhere else on this page.

  • @DavieDave59 The vast majority of people just want enough food for their families, clean water, a roof over their heads, medical care, and for their children to have better lives than they did. Faith is irrelevant. If a bunch of violent nutjobs is running the show - e.g. in Somalia - that doesn't mean the rest of the population agrees with them or that they don't deserve those things as much as anyone else, just that aid organisations need to be careful aid doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

  • Just out of curiosity, are you gay?

  • @legion696 gayer than Lance Bass ;)
