I understand the bit about teaching a man to fish, you feed him for life. The problem with that becomes OVERfishing. You decimate the fish population to the point where it will take centuries to get the populations back to where they were. With the amount of people living in China and India there arent enough fish in their territorial waters to feed everyone in their nations. So they fish outside of the territorial waters and now effect a much larger ecosphere. Japan is having porblems like this right now.

In China they have laws saying that families may only have ONE kid. Clothes hanger abortions are not uncommon. And neither is dumping the newborn in a gutter. They have actual prison terms for people that have more than one child. I believe its 20 years.

In India and many other nations birth control is against their religion. Ethiopia is a prime example of where birth control would help curb the severity of the problems if not alleviate them altogether.

No its not my fault the kids and parents in Ethiopia are starving. And no I dont feel sorry for them. I refuse to make donations to people who refuse to help themselves. Want to help these people out??? Buy them a box of condoms. Then go through the difficult task of actually getting them to use them. Again, Its against their religion.

Give em the Pill, condoms, vasectomies, tie the tubes or remove them altogether. Other than that starvation is natures way of thinning out the population so that it fits the food supply.

Do not ship these people to Canada or Russia. That would be unfair to the people of Canada and Russia. They shouldnt have to deal with someone elses problems. Then theres the fact that Canada and Russia would be faced with the exact same problems in a few years time.

Ever heard the expressions "You made your bed now lie in it, and You dug yourself into a hole now dig yourself out of it"???
