I personally think helping Africa with it's medical and food problems makes the problems worse. The reason they are starving in the first place is because we are helping to keep them alive longer and they haven't changed breeding habits at all. So the population continues to grows immensely and the death rate also slowed allot. They lose the ability more and more to help themselves, do to dwindling food supplies. I'd be all for feeding them and taking care of them if they erected some sort of population control system as China does.
Of course a more harsh way to do so would be to stop helping altogether and let the problem solve itself natural selection and all that.
How do you feel?
Like feeding a stray cat.
Never let a black cat cross your path

ITT condescension to the XXXTREME
No they actually thrive on starvation

Yes Africans are like stray animals.
What we should do is grind up all the africans into food to feed the africans and there will be food for all the africans and no one will be hungry or sad :)
Like putting a Band-Aid on a tumor.
We should turn Africa into one massive human farm.

Africa needs less warlords wasting all their money and stealing from the underclass, and a more sustainable food and water supply.
As opposed to what, feeding fat americans?
You also can't discount the warlords and bandits who seize said supplies and use them as tools to increase their own power. If people want to send food that's all fine and dandy, but when I get the urge to donate to charity, it'll go to the organizations that build schools, wells, and other such things that have lasting benefits.
Yeah let's just let them starve that'll show em
You have a point, the way you put it forward is terrible but I agree we should give them the tools and knowledge of how to help themselves. It's not always going to be possible to irrigate a section of land to grow cops, it's just not possible in some parts of Africa. Then you have the crime lords, they are the ones taking all the supplies and ensuring the villagers don't come to any power to ensure they keep their power, they are loads of factors stopping Africa from becoming a newly developed continent and we have to tackle those issues one by one before we can expect them to turn it around.
Alot of woman over there get raped...
They do in some sort of way help me, I get most of my peanuts from West Africa. Too bad they need it more than me.
OP is an asshole and I wish he died
I'm kind of mixed on this one, at some point countries need to develop on their own so they can be self sufficient at least. Like the ol' "Star Trek Prime Directive" thing. With that said they're humans and its a asshole thing to do so but they certainly don't help them selves out.
But as a descendant of a Brit and German I think I owe them something for my forefathers fucking their Continent up in the first place
But the sad truth of the world is that it Revolves around the concept that the "Strong survive and the weak die" Strength being a defined characteristic you excel at. Leaving these countries to fend for them selves in the long run could make them stronger
Nope, half the time the corrupt governments of the the 3rd world countries make sure that the starving people of their nation don't see any of the money. Not only that but the birth rate of 3rd world countries is much higher than that of places like the US or the UK.
So why help them, when we cant even fix the problem of people living on the streets and starving in our own countries?
I heard human flesh is a common food object in some parts of africa.
I propose an experiment.
Let's nuke Africa from orbit, and see what happens.

this.
Or just get russia to drop a couple of those nukes they need to get rid of, so the 1000's that america and russia said they will get rid they can drop over in africa, wait a while for all the radioactiveness to stop and create a New Africa

Kinda of what i'm thinking it does sound harsh and assholeish but it might help them survive in the long run.
Is it me or does America really look at things on just the short term quite often?

Also I think if the population continues to grow and the crime lords continue to do what they do you might get a revolution out of it.

This is more on the lines of keeping in office I think. A good portion of the general public won't approve of it and next thing you know a candidate running for president says he will help them and then his ratings sky rocket so the other one has to comply with it as well even though they could both care less. The world in general thinks short term despite what foreigners will tell you.
Nope, it does not help in the long term.
Africa needs to be left well alone to work out the solution to it's own problems. That is how a country develops. It overcomes problems and evolves continually. The problem with all the aid is that a lot of the people think they can just rely on it rather than learn to do things themselves.
Sure, if Africa was left alone, people would die. But that is the price of the development of a country.
Some aid could continue but it must be cut down and the entire African debt needs to be forgotten and written off or paid for by the countries which gave it in the first place.
Instead of dropping made food, give them animals to breed and feed from.
Yes it helps them...
Africa needs a unified government.
I donate.

But then it would be larger than America... and that wouldn't be too popular
Fuck me this is to racist and shit.
