Anyway to the insensitive morons who suggested killing the poor people off- STFU you are racists. Hitler and Stalin and other evil dictators carried out barbaric measures of genocide. A lot of measures need to be taken to fully eradicate worldwide poverty. Theoretically it could be done through redistribution of wealth but the political leaders and religious leaders being so corrupt would never let it happen. Donations to charities only a small amount of money ends up going to help the poor people in need. |
I hope you don't mean me in that statement.
I haven't suggested killing anyone, my argument was that the population is/has been artificially increased through giving large amounts of aid. Subsequently it will add to the problems in the future as populations continue to grow in an environment which is not capable of supporting it. To stop the problem in the future, the population needs to become dependent on what the environment can provide, instead of what others can provide them. Otherwise, the problem will only grow and will result in more and more aid needing to be sent.
The population should be left to become more natural over time. It is not like dictators who orchestrated genocides, like Stalin purposely withholding food, or Mugabe giving away farmland to soldiers and not farmers. It's leaving things to be as they would in a more natural way.
If you reduce the aid supplied then the population will gradually self adjust to a self-sustainable level. I know it's not a nice solution, but there is no nice solution in reality.
Bottom line of the argument: Increasing dependence on external aid results in more dependence in the future. Decreasing dependence on external aid results in no/little dependence in the future.
(I'm not saying that I agree with my argument, I condemn it morally. But I can see the logic)
