Title: Help solve world hunger
Post by: miki77miki on June 17, 2015, 10:52:03 PM
Well, this wont fully solve world hunger but this will defiantly help, i've been using freerice on and off for years now and I really like the concept of the site and that I can improve my vocabulary with it. Also, be sure to earn with the bitcoin group that I found on the site to help promote bitcoin at the same time!

About Freerice.com
Freerice is a non-profit website that is owned by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme.
Freerice has two goals:
1. Provide education to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.

Make sure you disable adblock so the the UN's world food programme actually gets revenue!

Wow, its a good initiative. This gives a feel of donating through learning. However I don't understand how bitcoins are involved here.

why should we want to end world hunger? there are already too many africans and asians breeding uncontrollably and they are destroying the environment and beautiful wildlife.

if the whole world were to burn up resources at the per capita american/western european rate we would require between 3 and 5 planets and as a westerner who enjoys his life i'm not willing to tolerate a lower standard of living so that more africans and asians can exist on this planet with farming and electricity

the more of these third worlders to whom we provide aid, help them set up mechanised agriculture and industry, the more we are setting ourselves up for a future filled with hardship, these people are our enemies competing for the same resources, we hold all the advantages but we are giving them up in the name of the worthless hollywood humanitarian compassion that fills your eyes with tears and makes you open your cheque book whenever you see a starving negro kid

Since they're fewer of them, wouldn't euthanizing the rich be a much easier task, then dispensing their wealth among the poor?

Yes, but money is power. The fewer rich have huge leverage over the poor.

Distribution of wealth.

It sickens me when I read/hear about government thievery, kickbacks, politician/CEO wages, billionaires, and cost overruns in mega projects. Did I mention our thievin politicians? There is no reason why every child cannot have food in this world.
 
You cannot even give money to big charities. They are just businesses with those in the drivers seat pulling in big wages and perks. Not much filters down to the needy. 
How to help the needy without making the middle man rich is the question.

Nothing will change unless evolution changes human nature down the road.

I disagree. Some people are poor because they were put in their situation by external forces, and they try to live within their means.

However, most of the poorest people in the world deserve their fate. They procreate even though they don't have food. I cannot accept that this is normal.
And although people "have the right to procreate" (a communist nonsense to me) I cannot approve that an african or an arab with not enough food for 1 person has 4 wives and 25 children that "must be helped urgently!" by people with education and jobs. This is irresponsible, and quite frankly - monkey like behavior.
Sooner or later wars are going to be lead for food and water. And those times are coming much faster than expected. Soon people are going to be 10 billion. Not long after 15 billion. And let say in 50 years - 20 billion with today's rates of procreation. The worst part is that the developed economies produce much less people than those, expecting to be taken care of during their whole lifetime.

What will happen when the parasites become more 10 times more than the feeders? I will watch and laugh to your left-wing propaganda then.
