You've see commercials...
"Just a dollar a day can provide water,education,clothing for a poor Ethopian kid!"
etc etc...
Well technically..is it not OUR fault that world hunger is still here.
Yes, I know, it could be simply the geographical area which is crap, soil erosion , etc but..
The more food we give, the increased chances of reproduction right?
So the next generation keeps suffering, thus more people...then the land can hold..
AND ALREADY ITS barely supporting any life..
In analogy..its kinda like adding more gasoline to a fire..
So we need to either help the country get on it's feet, not just keep it on life support. Meawhile, we need to lower birthrates there.
I don't think it can stop unless we make regulations to lower reproduction in those areas...
Although, we should still give food/clothing to people, and yes I know childeren build the future. Although in this case, we cannot just let them have unlimited kids.The population there is a gross amount for the fact that the only reason in such "waste lands" live is because of such organizations.

Hunger and stuff is caused by greed.... I bet you if you follow the theory that a meteor gonna hit us in 2017 (WHICH MOST LIKELY ISN"T TRUE!!!) people wouldn't even work unless they were paid even if they knew how to stop the meteor they wouldn't built whatever device that is required to save us.... they wouldn't even bother unless they were paid even though their lives were at stake... its human greed.... (THE EXAMPLE ABOVE MOST LIKELY ISN'T TRUE, IF YOU STILL DON"T FEEL CONFORTABLE PLEASE CONSULT AN ADULT OR GUARDIAN, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING!!!!)

Wow, you have come up with a lot of insane theories and terrible proposals for the future. So what your saying there is that we should limit the number of children they can have because they have pratically no economy? Although I do agree with you, free food is causing problems (not related to number of children though).
Really what we should be doing is stopping exporting food to sell in those countries. There are many countries which grow their own produce but they end up not being able to sell it in their own country because we export products cheaper then they can sell.

So many people in third world countries don't even know where they'll find their next meal.
So many people in America need fitness trainers to keep off the wieght.

I'm not sure if you mean specifically your fault or the fault of whatever country you live in (I'm assuming US) but countries are making it worse by only giving a little. The only way to make things better is to give a lot or none at all. Countries that export their exess products at low prices to 3rd world countries are actually doing a lot of harm. The local growers of those products arn't able to compete with these prices and there ends up being no return for the people in pratically giving the food away.

Not giving more is not the same as stealing. We aren't hurting them, we just aren't giving them as much money as you want us too.

I never said stealing, where do you see that? All I said is by giving them free food or almost free food is hurting their economy.

Woah, I thought you were arguing something else. My fault.
Well, the consumers there choose cheaper products over more expensive ones. I don't think that forcing them to pay more actually helps their economy.

The problem is that hardly any of the money we send ends up feeding them. It gets taked by the wealthy people. Greed.

The only way to save the human race is to find another planet to live on (starcraft LIVE) or kill off half the population.
Giving out food is bad.
Sure those people out there are being practically tortured, death is everywhere, etc etc.
If we do something about it, it ends the human race.
At least if we do a lot about it.
Sacrifice 5 candies for 10 candies..

You made no sense there at all. People who are educated leads to a greater economy and less population. Education is always the answer. Giving them less help won't help to educate them.

Lower birthrates, eh? So like, only one child per family? They do that in China. Do you know how many baby girls die a year? 
I think part of the problem with this and other disasters (Katrina cough cough) is that people are trying to find other people to blame the problems on, when it could be something else that has absolutely nothing to do with people. In my opinion it doesn't matter who started it, but it matters how we're going to end it. Once its done, and the damage has been cleaned up, then we can go back and go, 'okay. Now, who did it?"
