The beginning of civilization looks in some parts like the end in the world's second largest continent. This continent is so large that a full population census has never been made.

And to think if all the money spent on war was used to feed and give health care to the poor of the world what a nice world it would be. There would no longer be poverty. Imagine.

More often we fight about global warming,environment,animals rights,endangered species,wars,economy,green living,politics...But we forget our precious value: the children,our future! Let's give a chance for children to make a better place on Earth!!!!

This is indeed sad and i note it. But this is where my republican side comes out. A family of 10? That can not be fed? I am a member of the self extintion group here. I chose not to breed, then the choice was taked away from me. But here's where my ANTI republican side comes in, a family of 10???? That can't be fed? Birth control or aid? Do the math. And I am so sorry, if I couldn't feed a child, I would close my legs. And if I were raped, as so many are in Ethiopia, I would do everything possible to miscarry, not give birth to another soul to starve. This is sad indeed. So sad.

It really bothers me that there are some people out there that believe that people should die so that the population of the world will go down "naturally." That is so sick!!! As some have earlier stated, if less money was spent on war and killing we would have more money to feed starving people. If so much money wasn't spent on acquiring "oil" then maybe we would have money to feed people!!!!! It is sad that so many people have to die, when there is so much wealth in the world!!!!!

Awful. What can these poor people do. If they have no food, how in the h*****, are they supposed to afford birth control. Besides starving, these people have largest global HIV epidemic which they call the 'skinny disease'--- children and adults are dying. the gates foundation is trying to help with Africa at the top of their list. We white people have been bleeding these people since colonization giving them almost nothing in return. I heard the Chinese are going in with roads and community planning for areas with resources to trade for actual help. i hope it's true. Our u.s. government is only interest in wars and deriative financing.
