artist are the one who ignite the desire to consume more ,we take loan from bank to full fill our desires and poor don't get chance to full fill their basic need, understand the system and find solution, you wont find real solution here.

[saadabdulaziz]

come on the system is destined to kill poor not remove poverty.

it's so sad that people just don't even pretend to care. with a little more compassion, the world could be hugely different. till then, we're stuck.

its so pathetic.. all people care about these days is getting that car or that whatever... common sense is the least common of all senses..

i feel stupid and ignorant being human.. but then all these people get together to do such great things.. it gives me hope for our race.. we also have a lot of time to evolve...

we could spend 1 trillion in a continent like Africa. and grow like 2 trillion worth of food. they have the land, ripe soil, and the workers. a portion of our profits could be used for education of these people, and advancing the whole of all civilization. we are so behind as human beings we lost about 10,000 years of progress thru war over 100,000 years. we rape our planet to kill each other instead of taking care of each other. with resources so abundant we fight over them

There are jobs in developing countries. Check the labels of all your clothes and see where they're made. In countries where workers are physically tied to their machines to make one thirtieth of what the average American factory worker makes. If you don't understand something don't bother commenting.

[MrsMe16]

People in developing countries have jobs. They're working 16 hour days getting paid 30cents an hour to make your clothes and pick the food that you eat.

most impoverished people have jobs. they might not be very good jobs, but at least they're trying. dont tell them to get off their asses when its just unfortunate they cant become a ceo of a major company and make lots of money. im not saying poor people cant strive to excellence, im just saying you cant blame them for laziness. godammit, show some compassion.
