WE FEED THE WORLD (we could feed 12 billion people with no problem)

[GNRreunioneventually]

actually for one i don't know where the US's fruit comes from because i don't eat a lot of it, but i do know we get most from California, Florida, and Hawaii. I don't know for sure my statment up there was based on things that i've heard, but now that i think about it we get bananas from South America and takes a long time to get here i'm sure so really i don't know

"It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."

He does. Which is why it's a little more than 'no problem'.

no problem means we could do it, i didnt say no *consequences* - if we really see them wanting broadband connections as a problematic *consequence*

That's not exactly what I meant.

Point is you can't just hand out free stuff to entire populations/regions as it will ultimately lead to even more deaths and problems. Humans have to take care of themselves or else we witter away. The thing that should be done is help build their infrastructure so their economy can grow. The problem there is that the intricate beurocratic systems are designed to benefit the big companies and the rich countries. This is why it's a little more problematic than just throwing money their way.

i'm sorry but, wrong.
It's not about giving free stuff. It's about balancing an unfair situations.
See it's like a math problem, if one side of the equation is at -X (minus x), adding N here, it pretty much blocing the perpetual -X that comes from the unfair so called free trade system.

How the hell can you look at the situation and cynically see that as "giving free stuff"? this is very cynical.
On a daily basis, secured by our locked up world wide economical policies, we smother them. We are maintaining the inequality. So this is not "handing out free stuff".

We are drowning their agriculture by over producing. In result they have to buy our food.

Either we continue making billions there, and give a lot back - as of right now, we don't give any, and even tho it would work -
or we stop making billions there.

Feeding everyone in the world would be a bad idea. I don't see how people don't get this. If you feed the world, the population skyrockets, and then we DO have a problem. Pollution will double, further sparking desertification and starvation, and thousands of species will vanish.

Economically, the world is capitalist. The countries that matter, anyway. And in capitalism you have to have a loser. People hate to admit it but the majority of the western world will always choose their standard of living over the lives of others.

Feeding the world isn't Nike, you can't 'just do it.'

so.... in countries such as France, Germany and Japan the population is skyrocketing .... ? stoopid.


fo' god sake, what's crazy is that i read these kind of arguments so many times from many kids.
go read.

[Nightfall]

so.... in countries such as France the population is skyrocketing.

well it will get there...if the government is keeping on paying ppl extra money to sit at home and have babies all the time.

Coudl you explain how my argument is wrong? Just because it's a little cold it doesn't make me wrong.

To WAT-EVER: Fuck you. My age doesn't make a difference. If you judge me by it you're a dick. The world isn't so evil that if it could push a button or make a phone call to fix the world, it wouldn't. The economical, environmental, and social effects are too drastic and harsh to attempt to feed the whole world.

i didnt say anything about your age .... oh you mean the *kid* ? sorry. could have used man, or dude.

you were wrong because, many countries that dont have hunger issues are ageing.

in that case..i should make a real post regarding this subject.
I have to agree with communist china in this. Human beings are a plague to this world, we destroy it. It sounds hard and cold but we just can't feed/rescue everyone, will we do so the plague will only spread, and then what...billions of more ppl to feed, thousands of acres of forests destroyed for housing and agriculture purposes, it's a timebomb we're creating by trying to save every human being.
This world is fighting it's own battles against the growing human plague and we are fighting back even harder to overrule the world/nature...we should stop that and try to find a good balance for all live on this planet, and rescueing all human beings isn't part of the right balance.
