    G-8 Leaders Agree on $50B in African Aid

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/g8;_ylt=A...IyBHNlYwMxNjk2

    Great news to see the world also spending money on the reverse of terrorism.

    Sadly, Bush still has a thorn up his ass about Kyoto, which even if all countries agree to we'll end up dead within 200 years anyway; or wearing gas masks to go outside.

    Anyone know what you'd take in school to be educated on all of these things? I can't imagine politics... when I had a politics course in university it had nothing to do with this.. I want to learn the structure of the G-8 and of other organizations and how they're currently setup, etc.. Anyone know what 'specialty' that would be?

      great news?

      we've given them over 500 billion.

      50 years of aid hasnt helped africa.

      a concert wont, nor will another 50 billion.

      side stepping the issues and playiong the "i donated now i dont have to feel guilty" shit doesntr work.

      address the issues not donate

          also US gives africa over 3 billion PER YEAR. just like we do israel.

          the difference is, theres a lot more people in africa.

          we donate over $400 buck per israeli to israel, just in "economic" funding, not counting military.

              And you know what, 20 years from now nothing will be changed.

              African mothers with aids still will get 10 babies of which 9 die.

              The father will still buy guns with the little money he has.

              And they still will walk 10 miles a day for some water.

              50 billion my ass.

              I wonder how much of that will actually end up somewhere good. Other than in big companies and wrong hands.

                      Money has to be combined with education and the literal flushing of the corrupt leaders out of power.

                      I liken this to giving money to a junkie on the street to "set themselves straight". You know where that money would go.

                                  of course, spending nearly 400 billion a year on military is a better cause.
                                  any help to africa is a good deed. consider yourself fortunate you're not in their shoes, but looking like you're above it all is plain wrong.

                                                                                          side stepping the issues and playiong the "i donated now i dont have to feel guilty" shit doesntr work.

                                                                                          address the issues not donate
                                                                                          And yes, I fully FULLY agree with you Fletch.

                                                                                          Sadly, at the moment, there's not really any FULL world unity to focus and create agencies and structures to address the issues fully; much more 'money' / resources / people's time / services are required to figure out everything.

                                                                                          And the greedy (comparitively % wise, not money figures wise because the size of your economy could be so big because the country is so greedy) need to be stepped infront of by the rest of the world to smarten up; though perhaps a party who's sympathetic, even empathetic will come into power in those greedy economies and simply change and make things work.

                                                                                          That would be a happy day.

There are just some extremists who are totally mental and some people like the Palestinians who have been reduced to take deperate measures.

They don't produce/manufacture anything (that I'm aware of), companies don't outsource labor there except to export natural resources like diamonds, there is no trade between Africa and other nations, a heavily illiterate population (?), the Governments are corrupt.

                                                                                                                                  This may all change and maybe this is the first step but I don't think we'll see anything change in our lifetime. I hope I'm wrong.

They breed and breed and thats all they do. For instance Nigeria a little sand trap with a whole bunch of oil would be a rich country if they had 2-5 million people but they have 72 million people WTF and 95% of those only get 1 shitting meal a day.

                                                                                                                                          Giving them 50 billion or 5000 billion won't change shit they will keep breeding until they are poor again.
