I didn't mean literally "eat like kings" but just that there is enough food for them to do so if enough people donated. Almost 1/2 the US is overweight, if everyone took the extra food they eat that makes them overweight and sent it overseas to a place like Africa rather than eating it, children like those could be fed a few times over. If rich people donated some money and maybe bought a normal car rather than a $100,000+ car these kids could eat as well. Not saying that rich people should be the only ones donating either, they just have the most resources to help others and therefore should definetly be the ones involved.

Of course there is enough food to feed them, but is getting everything they need donated to them really what's best for them?

I've been to Africa several times including working for a charitable organization there, and I really don't think that giving things out like that works. It only encourages them to grow more dependent on foreign resources, while their populations continue to grow and their ability to sustain themselves does not improve. We provide food and medicine that greatly decreases the mortality rate - especially the infant mortality rate, but this causes the population to grow out of proportion to the infrastructure that exists to support it. The end result is that it only exacerbates their inability to be self-sustaining.

What I find amusing, is that despite the supposedly "miserable" circumstances in which these people live, they are generally more well-adjusted and have more positive attitudes on a day-to-day basis than people in western countries. I think that is something we should consider carefully before we try to make their circumstances more like ours.

god really needs to show he exists and suck my dick

...known from a videotape the two made when they met in March... in Dresdens home, Dresden amputated Gabriels penis and Dresden and Gabriel ate the penis together...Gabriel had insisted that Dresden bite his penis off; this did not work.. Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.

I have stopped thinking about it. I had many questions like this and I've stopped asking until people started calling me psychic. I did read some books from osho and it helped me answer a few of my questions.


Quote from him:
Man has lost one quality, the quality of zestfulness. And without zest, what is life? Just waiting for death? It can't be anything else. Only with zest do you live; otherwise you vegetate.

To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

There is no evil and there are no evil forces in the world. There are only people of awareness, and there are people who are fast asleep -- and sleep has no force. The whole energy is in the hands of the awakened people. And one awakened person can awaken the whole world. One lighted candle can make millions of candles lighted without losing it's light.

and yeah i for one twutally agree that religion does more harm than good ...

Sucks that your perspective sucks cock. Go off yourself, I'll be sipping on some whole milk.
