My question is, 'why is it america's job to wipe the world's ass'?\nSeriously. How many more trillions are we supposed to spend fixing other countries' problems? What are YOU trying to sign the american taxpayer up for, exactly? LOL Screw that. Africa needs to discover 'birth control'. Sorry if that sounds cold-blooded, but \nquite frankly, at some point in time, other nations have got to get their acts together, and work to defend their own societies from these kinds of things. If they can't/won't, what exactly do you expect america to do about it? Maybe the bitter, correct answer is LESS foreign aid so there's less people able to live in countries that won't normally support their populations. Stop giving out money, and get people in the mind-set of not having more kids than they can support. Can't feed em? Don't breed em. Pretty straightforward, there...

wow good point. the worst part about it is that these people get paid to pop them out. there are 15 year old girls all over london who did it purely for the money. they take the 5 year old kids to mcdonalds every single damn day! can you believe that? worst, though, is that the parent is too young to care, so they just don't actually give a damn if the kid hurts itself, turns to drugs, orwhatever. how do you think these people are gonna see other humans? they've never known love. not ever. all they know is making sure everyone thinks they're hard, and lust. that's it.\n\nand there are entire communities of these people.\n\nthere is a solution, but no politician would ever have the gonads to persue it: no more aid for single mums. you dont have to starve them, just dont give them total control of the money.\n\ni also believe it would sort this planet out soo much if you  wanted to have a second kid you had to prove that you could feed and love and educate it, or were at lest a decent person, and take soome kind of course.\n\nin fact in africa, the mentality is that if u have 9 kids u got a higher chance of oneof them making it big. I'd love to impose a law that says that if you want more than 2 then you have to pay extra taxes, that will go toward that kid's education. sure it soundws a little like china in the old days, but it is soo necessary in some parts of africa, especially south africa, where i'm from.

If the wealthy and upper middle class people would donate money to Africa, that would be a start. I understand it's hard for us working folk, but the billionaires, millionaires, even thousandnaires should stop being so stingy and world hunger could totally be solved.

its not really the medias job. coz they never do a good job anyway. we here plenty about the starving kids in Africa, but we never hear about all the awesome things that are happening over there coz of the people who care. we never hear about the rich people who get some compassion and send enough money via world vision to pay for an entire community to have enough drinking water for a year, we never hear of the great churches who go over there and build orphanages, and dig wells and start schools and give clothing and stuff.\n\npeople dont care. and those that do care, are so discouraged by the enormity of the situation that they dont bother to help coz they dont think they can make a difference. if they only saw the awesome difference people are making already, they might be encouraged to at least sponsor one child or something.\n\nplus.... some of these poor countries? you go to one side of the country and there is NOTHING. absolutely 100% poverty, then the other side of the country is full, overflowing with riches and wealthy businesses and stuff. if one side of the country helped out the other side, it would be one awesome steady country. it would prosper. but people cant even look over there shoulder to the other side of the country. its ridiculous.\n\nthe media, suck at there job. but we cant talk. we dont bother to seek out who needs help ourselves. Education will help a little. but most still just say "oh how sad" and get a little down from it for a day or so, then move on with there financially stable eyes without batting an eyelid at ther wallets.\n\nwe need education alright. we need the bible. we need GOD. He shows us that we are to give give give give give to the poor.. and more! maybe we should put Jesus back into the classroom. He sure does the job right.

It would probably be better if the money ended up there first to buy livestock because it would be cheaper. \n\n$10.00 wouldn't buy much where you are but there it could buy several pigs and chickens and possibly alittle more. \n\nThere should be some organization that does just that for people in Africa because food is one of the main things they need.

Try doing something to benefit others, like teach english in africa or donate some of your money to a chariety you support

No, I wouldn't.  There are organizations out there that can help them.  What will your $1 do? Pay his rent?

Wouldn't it make more sense to pay our ghetto slugs and homosexuals $50,000 to move to Nigeria, or better yet France. Now I wouldn't complain for a minute about that!

Lots of money. \nTry living without money for few days. Nobody will give you food or water.

This is no small question.  :)\n\nIn your family, eluding poverty involves hard work.  Those who start poor will not have an easy time, but hard work is the key.  Nevertheless, life throws us sour apples at times and there is no way to perfectly prevent bankruptcy or financial ruin.  Things happen.  These are learning arenas where only by persisting can one make headway.\n\nAs far as country is concerned, I will speak for the sake of the USA (my country).  There really is no excuse for poverty in America; we have more than enough resources to meet the needs of every American and all those who would wish to immigrate.  ***Allocation*** is the problem, and I don't mean that in the Capitalism vs. Socialism frame -- I still believe in Capitalism.  Thing is, many items on our budget are frivolous or faulty; it is grand that our government is kind enough to fund socially-minded groups (which can be funded by charity), individuals who refuse to take care of themselves (remaining in poverty and pulling others down with them), and poor countries (don't get upset on this one yet; I'll handle it next), but meanwhile we have starving children of our own.  Nobody should be starving; there's enough food in America to feed the whole Western continent!!! \n\nAnd the world at large...  We have spent decades throwing money into third world countries, and no change has been made.  The reason:  most of these countries are ruled by selfish dictators who take our generous funds and use them craftily in self-serving ways.  You CANNOT pour money into a country with corrupted leadership!  \n\nGhana is an excellent example; thousands of Christians with good intentions send supplies and money to this country...apparently unaware that the military (and postal service itself) goes through these things before they ever reach their target.  When they do, if they do, guess what?  Yep.  Resources are gone.  I've been to Ghana and seen this with my own eyes.  The only way to get resources in successfully is by taking them in yourself or being there when they arrive...and since civil law is ruled militaristically, this still does not mean you will keep them.\n\nUnfortunately, I don't have a sound answer to eradicating poverty in third world countries.  We could make sure resources entered in massive quantities, but that would not necessarily change the economy or government...and we've recently experienced how costly and grueling changing the government can be (if you're responsible afterwards).
