Probably one of the best ways to reduce world hunger is to reduce the number of births. But I guess convincing all those people over there to do that is harder than jumping over the Moon. Maybe there's a way but I don't know it. |

Maybe there's a way but I don't know it. That's called Communisum and it's failed in every country every time with the exception of China and that's because they are no longer pure communist. Any other signs of your political "intelligence" you care to share with the class today? |

Whilst I agree with you on the sharing of resources, you shouldn't forget the human capacity to make developments in technology to improve agriculture and improve food yields.

More empty rhetoric. An endless parade of slogans, ideology, and bromides without clarity, depth of thought, or basic understanding of the fundamentals of economics or reality.

Walls are visible and invisibale, but all are wrong, and created by ignorance and hatred. Do we have the answers? Obviously, not. Do we have a problem with the way things are? Obviously, yes. Are there people who can't see this? Yes. . "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

best way to reduce world hunger is to share all resources with everyone. There is enough on Earth to feed twice the actual population, it only has to be alloted to everyone instead of a few. I have heard this too. So what part don't you agree with? 1. Is there actually enough or the capacity to have enough food for the entire population (or twice)? 2. That equally sharing it is wrong (not arguing about whether it would work or not, I know it would be next to impossible for it to happen/work successfully)? 3. Something else? This is not a go at anyone, but rather an attempt to better understand your view. Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope. |

I brains were dynamite, you couldn't blow your nose. and if you were half as smart as you seem to think you are, you'd proofread your work. |

I'm not smart. Smart enough to go back and change your post after the fact... ...but we've already discussed the difference between leftism and honesty. |

best way to reduce world hunger is to share all resources with everyone. There is enough on Earth to feed twice the actual population, it only has to be alloted to everyone instead of a few. Easily. There already is both the capacity and the quantity. 2. That equally sharing it is wrong (not arguing about whether it would work or not, I know it would be next to impossible for it to happen/work successfully)? Define "equally sharing," and then tell me if you go to work for free, or if you go to work because they pay you? Cordially, Rush elrushbo2@theobviousgmail.com Remove the obvious... |

best way to reduce world hunger is to share all resources with everyone. There is enough on Earth to feed twice the actual population, it only has to be alloted to everyone instead of a few. Thanks for that, but the last part wasn't needed. I was asking for which part you disagreed with. I did not ask you to justify your view and I was not trying to force my view on you, so I don't need to justify anything. It would be difficult to define equal sharing since what you define as equal might and most likely be different to others. But I guess you are more against the idea of giving something to someone who has done nothing to earn it (not necessarily in terms of money, but often is) or is perhaps undeserving of it. Which I can understand and agree to in nearly all the way. I would further assume that you would have no problem with help during emergencies (such as natural disaster, unless perhaps the person put themselves deliberately in danger and into the situation) which are one-off and not ongoing over a 'long' time period. Especially if the people affected earned their living but now have had a storm flatten their town and need help to get back 'on their feet' as it were. If my assumptions are wrong feel free to correct them. But you do not have to attack. Yes or no is enough as I am not asking for justification or explanations. Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope. |

I did not ask you to justify your view and I was not trying to force my view on you, so I don't need to justify anything. Duly noted. It would be difficult to define equal sharing since what you define as equal might and most likely be different to others.... Hence the rub. ...But I guess you are more against the idea of giving something to someone who has done nothing to earn it (not necessarily in terms of money, but often is) or is perhaps undeserving of it. Which I can understand and agree to in nearly all the way. All I have a problem with is initiating force against others to make them do things that they otherwise would not.

Especially if the people affected earned their living but now have had a storm flatten their town and need help to get back 'on their feet' as it were. In principle, no.

I did not ask you to justify your view and I was not trying to force my view on you, so I don't need to justify anything. All good. Forcing people to share or forcing people to accept something (though most might be grateful) is of course wrong and would only make the situation worse as the resentment would build until something gave. Giving support to the implementation of help systems/charities etc is always more difficult due to human nature and the stories/reports etc you hear about charities that are frauds, misplaced money in relief efforts, misused etc. Makes it hard to have faith (hence why a gave up on religion when I was younger, but that's another story)... Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope. |
