So... if you assume 25,000 people will starve today, you have to make the connection that this is a daily occurence. The math is ludicrous, at best, and catastrophic if followed to its logical end.

God bless you. There is a saying that I'm sure you are familiar with about teaching people to fish, rather than just giving them fish. When you just stop the negative, you create a vacuum that can be filled with other negative behavior. By working with the locals to create an infrastructure, you are creating a local "pond" where all can learn to fish (work, teach, parent, etc.).I encourage action and prayer for God's will, however you understand God in your own faith.

Gads. Got it. Changed. And thank you.

Ahhhh, I see. However, usually a misplaced comma doesn't change the meaning of a sentence, but in this case, it DOES. "Don't fight aids, hunger and obesity increase healthy behavior."As it's written, everything after the comma can be taken as an independent statement that hunger and obesity increase healthy beahviour, which is dumb. To make the sentence mean what you wrote in your reply, the comma needs to be in between "obesity" and "increase".:)

No worries. It means you cannot "end poverty" instead you have to "increase economic opportunity". Fighting the negative side of a problem is not near as effective/useful as working on the positive solution side of the same problem/issue. Focus on increasing in healthy actions and behaviors, not the stopping the negative.

Could someone explain the line from the video description that reads:"Don't fight aids, hunger and obesity increase healthy behavior."Was this a typo, a nonsensical statement, or do I just not get it. Any responders please explain yourself, rather than just saying "You're a retard" or something. :)

yes, but what about NGO/NPO logistical configurations combined with transparent "tier 6" elements? can threaded platforms restore effectively with other collaborative sources? transparent feedback and successful failures are the mantra of open source partnerships. all controls need grassroot problem techniques, along with solutions, so tactical/practical loops will have more "orgs" they can report in their networks.

25,000 people will starve to death today. So why not feed just 12 more people a day and end starvation in 5.7 years? That's what acclaimed creative thinker Jonathan Crabtree asks world leaders. Experience his inner-most feelings and thoughts as he tackles the greatest problem of all time. You can help change global opinion so the world ends starvation.Goto waronstarvation dot blogspot dot com for the video

The Global Elite already have the answer to the Davos question: They want to construct a one-world govt., regulate the internet, chip 20% of the people and kill the rest.Sounds reasonable, if your name is Javier Solana and you are the son of Satan.Laugh now, pray to Jesus later.

There's no way in Hell they would want a unified Africa either.

Also face this fact: The do-gooders who lobby on behalf of the world's poor really don't want to live a life of lower expectations (materially speaking) that would occure if the poor nations were actually democratic and charged the West the real value of the minerals and other resources that are presently given away for next to nothing. It's nice to be a radicl in ones youth, but as we grow old, we want the more of the 'good things in life'.

> uel786 said on 01-26-2008 at 14:02:
Face the fact: The ONE GREAT POWER (aka USA) and the puppets that rule their respective countries don't really want peace and properity throughout the world. Democracy to Uncle Sam is "have your sham elections and do as you're told". It is in the best interests of the elite in the US and aboad to keep the bulk of the world's population ingnorant and hungry. That way it is very easy to take the resources needed to run an empire at a very low cost.
