just remember when you donate money to what ever the cause only half of your money goes to where it should go and the other half ??????????????????????

I actually agree. I always say that instead of finding money for food, give them condoms! Give the kids they already have a chance, instead of bringing more kids in to suffer.

africa will always be a mess as long as the religious nuts and war lords remain in control

Africa will allways be a mess while the rest of the world makes a mis-use of the people and its mineral wealth and yes the continued fighting between different clans and so called war lords that are backed by other world coutries that also sell the waring factions arms and ammunition where and when will this violents ever end. maybe if some high powered coutries could keep there nose out of other peoples affairs and future

I was solicited on the phone the other day to donate money to help feed hungry children in Africa and other parts of the world. So I asked a few questions (Remember... question EVERYTHING).
I said “It seems like we’ve been feeding hungry children for a long time now. Is anybody doing anyhting to try and stop this cycle of having children you can’t feed.... like.. oh, I don’t know.... maybe giving them BIRTH CONTROL!” And his answer was... “That would be against our religious teachings.”
I said “You fuckin MORON!” and hung up. ANYONE who can’t afford to care for a child should not have the privelege (yes, I said privelege) of having one.
If you take money from the state or a charity to support your family, then birth control should be MANDATORY.
I seriously dont give money to charity for the sole perpose that it doesnt go to were it is needed most of the time.
For ex...Redcross went out and wanted people to donate money for the 9-11 victims....many millions was donated....when it was time toi pay up...they said that they are keeping the money for future catostrafies.....and people got furious.....so red cross said...those who have donated can have their money back.
To donate money like for ex.sweden (dont know about other countries) but around 17 000 million swedish krona a year to charity.

Than of that ,Africa gets 2410 million krona and they cant feed the country? Think about all the other countries that also gives money......
Now...those charity people and churches just want money they can pocket themselfs....and it doesnt go to the real problem.
Building a church in africa???what the hell...they are going to eat the walls?????
Instead of donations the goverment SHOULD INSTEAD OF SENDING MONEY ...go down there with a delegation and drill waterholes build school and educate the people ....
So what do the president ore whoever gets the charity do with the money????HUH???????
This really gets on my nerve ....
