The starving of Africa.

You're not wrong about the contraception but I don't think it's the only reason for the poverty there. I think corrupt governments have a lot more to do with it.

Is it Africa alone that has starvation and unwanted babies. Why are you attacking this continent and not look at your own country. If you want to stop donating them that is your own personal problems but trying to placate others is wrong.

Right

There are many deep reasons that Africa is in poverty,even in starvation,for example,low education medicine,and scientific level,complex and disorder polity condition,race conflict,unfair trend with developed countries,many many other problems.I believe that if the governments of Africa works reasonablely,the starvation problem can be solved at least,but right now,they really need help.

Yes, we should find more efficient ways to solve this. Just giving money to them is not enough. Money can be easily spent. Then they go into the same situation again. Some policies need to be implemented. For example, the birth control. They also need to learn how to make good use of their resources.This is really an annoying problem for this.

right, & wrong, yes the poplulation of Africans seeems ridicoulsly numerous, however that does not mean we get helping them. What we need to do is educate them with my favirote technique "FEAR!"

Most of the people in Africa have been converted into Christianity and Islam by telling them that God will help them and protect them if they get converted.. But I don't know how there is still Malnutrition, poverty and other problems when most of he people have converted into Christianity or Islam.. !

You have hit the nail on the head...You are right! Someone seemed to think you were singling out Africa, but we all know it doesn't stop there. It is a pitiful mess! Day after day, the TV is alive with commercials wanting us to donate. I don't want to see ANYONE hungry, but you are right about the population problem and starvation will never go away till they do something about it. What is even sadder is the fact that IF you give money to these organizations, most of it never gets to the people... If we want to look for starving people we can find that right here in our so-called "Land of plenty"...meaning the UNEMPLOYED USA!

I am inbetween on this idea.. I think that if they wanted this then yes it would be good. Because I am not really sure if poor people can get contraceptives there in any of these places.. they are poor so I doubt it. Idk I guess im not so aginst what you say.. But I definatly think that it should be known what is in it and what is not... and I doubt it will work in food since every item would have to be open and the contraceptive be put in there. How will they close it back up? I guess if so many people DO help provide for these country's why can tthey put 2 or 3 xtra bucks to pay for a contraceptive for the mother of the fam or possibly even young girls..

I think that the large populations are a problem but at the same time I also think that it's wrong to "put some form of [contraception] in the food." I think that's a serious ethical issue, especially if these people are not aware of it because it's not right to do something that affects another person's body without their consent. I agree with the comment about some of the children being taught from religious people not to use contraception because it's "bad." That's harmful and opens up these people to many diseases in a country that already has a large percentage of AIDS. I learned that some people were telling them that contraception was bad from someone who went to teach the children about contraception. He learned the day before that someone had been to the school and told them not to use it so it's difficult for them to know what is right and wrong. There's also another issue for large families as well. It's important to remember when someone lives in poverty the more hands they have to help provide for the family, the better chance there is that they can survive and make a life for themselves. If it comes to farming then the more hands available, the more work will get done. Some families might have more children because they need the help. The suggestion of contraception in the food especially scares me though because I feel like it's a form of genocide. I would understand educating them on the use of contraception but not putting it in food. Is that even possible? It reminds me of the sterilization of Puerto Rican women that happened that stopped whole generations. They were used as guinea pigs. I'm really against the suggestion. I don't think that the poverty is caused only by overpopulation. It's a really complicated situation. There are also cultural practices and education that need to be addressed as well as many other contributing factors. I think that education is really important but it depends on where they get the education from as well. Conflicting lessons, such as what they are hearing from religious people and people who are trying to advocate for the use of contraception keep them from making the right decisions.

right and wrong. wRong bec the problem is already there. right so that we can correct the problem in the future.

I think there are no wrongs in what you've just said because it IS a valid suggestion after all. I guess people should think more about how to stop them from actually needing help so that they could get on their own two feet rather than providing help that they need which is also not wrong, just that too much help makes one lose the will to work towards improving his/her own quality of life. ^_^ Just an opinion though. Take care and happy mylotting.

Yeah,maybe using contraception is a good way,but it can just work in the future.If we reduce the amount of money or just stop feed them,then how about these new-borened baby and little child.As we all know,there are wars in Africa almost anytime anywhere,so how can contracept work in a orderless society? However,it's a new idea I think.
