I don't really donate to these things since there are like, 7 billion people in the world atm, every person I save is going to potentially fuck me over in the long run when it comes to food resources in the future. Now's not really the right time to be saving lives, my own included. I'd totally donate if the world population is about 1/50th of the current size, though even that number is questionable tbh.

Our world is not overpopulated in any way...We have technologies and conditions to give water and food to more than 15billion EASILY, TODAY.
The problem is our society.
If USA invested 1/10 of what spends in war on technologies to increase food productivity, and if poor countries instead of exporting all their food, at least give their population a little, there would not be hungry.
with the development of technology, I believe that our world would support more than 50 billion people.

back on topic:
One thing that i will never do in my life is donate to japan. No matter what country you are, if you want to find people to help that much, just walk to the corner on the street.

be whichever problem it might be, the end results won't differ much, I'm looking to the future, and 15 billion is not a hard number with how many people we have in the world atm. it's not the right time to be saving, all that does is fueling people's egos. Also keep in mind how much more we need to take down in order to increase food production, the more people we have, the worse off we are in the future as it stands right now for humans and for nature. If anything, we need more disasters in more populated areas, I'm counting on you Earth!

I'm not sure if you would feel the same way if the disater affected you or your family. Or if you were from Japan and this happened when you were out of the country and then were to read this kind of comment.

You obviously didn't read the part where I said "my own included" then.
