It's a tricky one, the trouble is we do like to interfere with nature. It might sound horrible but if there's not enough food and water to support x amount of people why add an artificial dimension to the problem giving hope and allowing the population to grow.

Back in the 80's I remember my dad saying "just drop a load of condoms on them, why do they have 5 kids if they're watching people starve around them"

What has really changed? It does make me wonder who is the real winner in all this. But it sure as hell isn't people living in a sort of third world benefit support system.

It's one thing stepping in to help with medical care for children 30 years ago, but creating a situation of ongoing support which effectively perpetuates the problem?

They'd still need water and even playing field for food markets if they produced a child each or 35, ffs

As stated, there's no nhs / dole handouts for all, you've got to provide it yourself - Which requires somebody younger And fitter to provide

With regards to your Hitler jibe: it makes you look like a fool.
So sorry I must have got my history wrong. There was me believing that Hitler wanted to exterminate some races and ethnic groups such as gypsies and blacks along with the Jews. So your statement "Itd be no bad thing is swathes of the third worlds population were oblitered without trace" seemed to me one that Hitler would have been proud of. Please explain why you called me a fool for stating the f,ucking obvious.

But there is a LOT of difference between someone setting out to exterminate a people and us allowing nature to take it's course, instead of interfering, encouraging the people to breed faster, and so the problem shifts a few years along the line? Isn't there?

Your posts are getting more and more random.

By your logic, when someone gets ill, instead of trying to make them well again, we should just 'let nature take its course'!!

That duck egg Cameron is that intent on throwing our money at lost causes abroad he can't even be bothered to help the needy in the UK. Instead he attends the scene to gloat and to do nothing.

She chose to live somewhere close to the edge, as it were....and now we're expected to feel sorry for her. She clearly made no provision for the inevitable .

More power to Daves elbow i say.

You obviously never saw my other post, I do give to charities one of them is unicef. Now I know unicef do work all over the world but much of the info I've received images of black children which I presume rightly or wrongly are African, My personal experiences with the increasing African community in my area are not good.
I have found them lazy, rude and unwilling or unable to participate in anything. Now I know that is prejudiced and I normally give people the benefit of the doubt but Ive had enough bad experiences. I no longer want to support Africa, the culture wont change therefore its a waste of money. Africa is a bottomless pit and a lost cause IMO

I give money to cancer research, UNICEF and several animal charities. I also do volunteer work and received a nice recognition award last year for services given. The little money I give to UNICEF is going to go to the Sally army, they look after our own.

You can call me Saint Edsel or Adolf Edsel either way I aint no hypocrite.

What are you on Wtf? A few years ago I worked in utilities and was regularly called out on Christmas day. Just shows how the UK has declined, but we can still afford to throw money at lost causes.

Yup, that's right. David Cameron is to blame for floods and Christmas holidays.

Now that really is silly.

Occasionally we have to do that anyway, but yes, one of the UK's and other developed countries' problems is an aging population, brought about by...yes...NOT letting nature take it's course.

We have seen the problem with a population which only averages 2.2 children.

Yet you want us to ignore it and keep alive all those who insist on ten to fifteen children? Or ANY children with no resources?

THEY have the children, why is it our fault? why our responsibility?

Do you believe that the people in the UK who breed as a way of "earning" a living are in the right too?

Now who's random?

Good job it's only a flood with old people trapped in their homes with no heating or hot food rather than something a lot more serious and you council workers tucked up at home stuffing Christmas pudding down your neck.

Main problem is the pope and his policies of non conception
I have relatives in phillipnes and have sent a lot of time studying them
They have a theory that because they are poor they should have lots of children so they can share the costs of looking after them when they get old ,but then they get the handouts from their 2 or three wealthy offsprings ,who normally work overseas the parents then hand half the money back to their poor nieces ,nephews and distant cousins !them they want more money for emergencies as they cant save and live for today amd not tomorrow
Their belief in sex is 'no glove no love ' and its 'gods way' if they get pregnant
The catholic church just can't get a grip on this simple fact that more kids cause poverty and the schools can't teach it neither
Most of Asia have got it so wrong

Yet china is now a very wealthy race and their one child per couple rule has helped get the country back on its feet and make it a strong world power .
Not sure about Africa and conception wherever it is religion or just boredom as there is no TV

The same one child rule that China is getting rid of now you mean?

Poor people have always had as many kids as possible, it has very little to do with the Catholic Church.

It's the preserve of fat wimmins with flabby arms, few teeth, 100 Park Drive a day habit and an aroma of 10 day old ammonia.
