Im not an American idol fan, on a daily basis i see people make an ass out of themselves in real life, so i dont really see the need to watch it on tv. However this morning while i was heading to work i heard some guy on the radio say the American Idol fundraiser has raised 70 million dollars. I thought damn 70 million, its about time American Idol did something useful, he went on to mention this fund raiser was for. Starving kids in Africa was the only one that jumped out at me and i think its a conditioned response since we've heard it for years. This got me to thinking "just how many damn starving kids are there in Africa?" and does'nt that add on tv say i can feed one for 20 bucks a month! I did a google search and i still can't quite come up with a number to do the math but roughly at 80 cents a day they could feed 239,726 kids for a year.
Im not trying to be mean but why the hell would you send money to feed the children? Send money to transport them to some place that isnt an arid wasteland instead. Then build a fence so no one can ever go back to squating there! Ive listened to so much of the "stop world hunger" bullshit i can take, its gone on for years and as long as people live in a wasteland they will starve, its common sense. I watched a show on the discovery channel this weekend and you know what the animals did when they ran out of food in their area? They moved to where the food was.
For years organizations have existed to feed the starving kids in Africa lets just take the Christians children fund. They say you can feed, cloth, and provide medical care for a kid for 80 cents a day, seems like a pretty good organization and they have been around since 1938. But wait lets just look at this from a reality side, they have been around since 1938 thats almost 70 years! How many generations of kids have been born in 70 years? Im just spitballin here but why not slip some birth control in with the food rations?
Personally i cant picture myself getting a ragging boner over a starving sickly native but obviously someone is. Im not saying lets stop reproduction all together or even say who can reproduce and who cant but if you dont have enough food for yourself to eat, then poppin a little one out probably isnt a good idea. Its pretty simple, if a fundraiser has to happen for you to get something to eat then you need not make another mouth. What the hell is so hard to understand? If we send money for food then all we are doing is giving them enough energy to produce the next generation that will starve. The worlds a cruel place and reality sucks but using a little common sense might slow this problem down a bit. Even better send condoms and that might slow down the aids spread.
Theres some chinese proverb that says "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" . In this case it would be " give a man some food and he will make more mouths to feed, give a man a condom and there might be enough food in the long run".
