Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

[skillcentre]

these stupid international news channels has always something bad to say about BD. what about teh 25+ average growth in export? What about the billions of dollars rise in remittance, growth of industries and infrastructure? They are making a possible largest int airport at the suburbs of Dhaka.Skyscrapers booming in Dhaka as fast as Mumbai, where are those reports?

[penitent2401]

@skillcentre often the case in developing countries is the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer. the rich controls those exports, build the industries and bring in more money for themselves. they exports their production because they can get better prices in other countries, leaving the poor to feed off whatever they could grow or find on their own with little access to most of the country's wealth, resources and international markets.

[skillcentre]

@penitent2401 first of all my point was not about poor pple, i was saying good things r not mentioned. anyways, rich pple getting richer is true for all capitalist economies, USA has higher inequality measure than Canada, France UK, Australia, even BD in case you dont know. Poor pple dont get poor, they get relatively poor, coz starvation is a history in Bangladesh, which prevailed in the 80s. Now more pple go to school, and v few , except during monga, and floods die in hunger

[penitent2401]

@skillcentre they are fully capable of feeding every one of their people now, their government and businesses are busy with openning up more buildings and international trades while not looking enough to their own countryside where some people are still living in poverty and not given the opportunity to get out of it.

new orleans still hasn't recovered fully since that hurricane btw

[skillcentre]

@penitent2401 thank you very much, so this is not a bangladesh or developing country factor. u see under many growth theories,a country develops , appart from population growth, from growth of technology, now this technology transfer super fast in developing countries, therefore very uneven, therefore uneven wealth distribution, or lets put it simply, some people are just not smart enough, there is nothing we can do to stop.

[eastariel]

If your whole body were sick, would you just put a bandaid on one toe?

The entire world is in trouble. What happens in one place, happens to us all. We are all connected as a global community.

Love is the only power strong enough to save our world.

[Ben22obould]

@eastariel clearly you know nothing over population is the main reason for food shortages and look at the popluations of the areas where these food shortages are

[eastariel]

@Ben22obould

The world is not over-populated. That's just a lie propagated by hogs who want to eat up everyone else's rations.

The Earth is able to sustain far more people than it feeds already.

Have you ever read "Diet for a Small Planet"? Meat production is wasteful. Did you know that overconsumption of meat is the main reason that American health is so generally bad and that our health maintenance organizations are basically bankrupting our nation?

Who can afford not to stay healthy anymore?

[skillcentre]

@eastariel u are very naive. You should be a little more analytical and in-depth.meat consumtion is not the problem, in case u dont know, pure meat is protein and minerals, without the fat. its the fatty junk food that has made americans unhealthy, so dont blame it on meat, Chinese japanese are meat-eaters as well. No offence, but i think American girls are way hotter than Indian girls in general, (comparing their figures, not colour or anything).

@QuantumQuacks oh really if your correct where is your proof

[LEMOY121]

STOP FAMINE & POVERTY New Track/Video by FEMALE RAPPER called "Changez", please take time to watch it, its the making of the track , thanks for your time x

[datzfast]

maby your the one not being informed.

do a google image search for starving deaths your told 14 million deaths each year but click on the photos and do bacground check of images look at dates

[datzfast]

in 1960 africa was a food exporter.

while there is hunger very few starve to death. you can google image death but the pictures are of HIV AIDS death and prison inmates of Rwanda. no one has starved in years your just being lied to.

[jasmine218]

YOU RACIST BITCH...

[watevergal20s]

no need to be racist kid. you'll understand when you grow up ok????

[rhettharrison]

You need a good kicking you nasty little cunt.

[Gregz0r99]

fake

[JUNAS23]

One more thing, FOR THOSE OF YOU WASTING YOUR TIME CRITICISING AND MAKING POOR, NEGATIVE RACIAL COMMENTS, YOU NEED TO GROW UP AND DO MORE DECENT RESEARCH, AND PERHAPS YOU CAN GAIN MORE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABOUT ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AFFECTING FAULTLESS, INNOCENT PEOPLE. WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING IF YOUR ECONOMY WAS STRUGGLING AS A RESULT OF A NATURAL DISASTER SUCH AS BANGLADESH? OF COURSE YOU WOULD STRIVE AND STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE, NOT ONLY YOURSELF BUT YOUR FAMILY! THERE'S NO NEED TO BE RUDE!

[JUNAS23]

I am not Bengali by the way, but these people and including those other people from a struggling economy are just like other people who are more wealthy (who may not really care about the economy). It has got nothing to do with their colour, race or culture. One evidence that these people are like any other people is that they work to get their necessities (what they actually need i.e. FOOD...NOT UNECESSARY GADGETS); whereas people from developed counrties work to get what they want THAN NEED!

[JUNAS23]

Bangladesh is prone to natural disasters such as cyclones and floods especially from monsoon rains and melting Himalayan snow. As a result, their crops becomes lost, making it difficult for such limited resources (FOOD) to be distributed to unlimited demand of Bangladesh people (through no fault of them from the disasters). It may be difficult to be o their shoes, but living in a third-world country or some decent research can give more clues, rather than just criticising those people!!!!!!!!!!!

[GodBlessYouTu]

If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted. (Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT)

[NadiahMedic]

You shouldn't said that. Maybe you should put yourself in their shoes. You should feel their pain, then, you wouldn't dare talk like this. Where is your morality? All humans should get same attention, not only for higher powers, bestest cultures or races or country or religions. You are the one who is not reading the book. If you read, you'll know how to solve the 'They reproduce beyond their natural means' problem!

[jmeldrake1]

send them niggers some watermelons

[nazbites]

thats really rude , i'm bengali , and i'm not dark , what is ur problem?

[nicksconer]

South Asian dumb ass.

[watevergal20s]

no need to be racist kid. they are just like you. you'll understand when you grow up ok????

[jasmine218]

BITCH

[hearypooper]

FUCK RICE and FUCK corn

[jehnubis]

LOL, the Commerce advisor at the end just admitted, that the rich will survive and the poor will starve.

[jerkinp]

Whenever famines occur people throughout history turn to cannibalism to survive. If international organizations did not exist to help people in poor counties they would be in trouble

[neftalireyes8]

What, cannibalism would relieve the strain on the economy of that forsaken country. Anyhow, they should be sterilized.

[jasmine218]

who let these bitches loose? now they are going nuts on youtube.

[cradle2light]

why on earth does the staple food doin in the menu of the stock market??? the future market is a main culprit driving food prices too high too fast for PROFIT!!!

its life and death in the starving Third world!!!! we must do something!!!!

[Flirmy]

Theres too many people!

[silentfades]

Why are they not teachihng and enforcing birth control for these poor people. I do sincerely feel for them however some personal accountability (as well as government investigation) must be taken into serious consideration.

Marc in NYC

[onik2005]

Why are they not teaching and enforcing birth control for these poor people.

-----------

There is very good Population control program Now. Birth Date is lowest in South East Asia (<2%). The burst happened in sixties & Seventies, Growth rate was ~2.5%. The problem now is that 49% people are of age 20-30 Years, who are contributing to the growth. The food crisis in Bangladesh is because of price NOT supply. The current harvest (Boro) will be 10% more than last year. Inflation is the killer.

[Ayeere]

Are you taking into account the population lost from immigration? Or is that lumped in with the "having less baby" statistics?

the US corn harvest was 1.4 Bushels in surplus this year. Yet prices went up!

[Muslims4RonPaul]

All census in Bangladesh take account of immigrants. 3-4 million Bangaladeshis live abroad. Most of them are NONimmigrant... Most families in Bangladesh have 2 children. There are several incentives of having few children--- cash, free cloths, free tution for baby girl etc. Google 'birth control in Bangladesh.' Visit Bangladesh.

[BooBooLane]

M-4, can you prove the 2-child allegation, etc.? It does not make any sense, based on known Bangi overpop.

[PauloGVieira]

Idiot - your response is offensive.

We have plenty of food in the world - there is an obvious distribution problem.

[Ayeere]

I never said we had a good, just pointing out what u did but with more class, we have plenty of food. Mostly due to US GM.

[kevsmit00]

No need for anyone in the world to starve. The earth produces more than enough for everyone
