Just been watching the news and saw yet again kids dying in Africa
Dying of malnutrition due to poverty and drought killing their crops!
Very upseting to see these children suffering in this way and when you have a child of similar age yourself it makes it all the more upsetting!
Not just poverty etc....thats killing these children but most of them have aids passed down from their parents
Somthing needs to be done to help these people and quick!!!!
One thing that angers me though and i hope this doesn't sound calouse but why are these people knowing they have no money, no food and aids bringing children into the word knowing they are going to suffer and die
Sorry to put a downer on things but it upsets me

Its all down to the Coruput Governments they have, spending what little money they have on guns etc.

Dunno why Africa can never seem to lift it self out of poverty like countries have. Aid money has show its not the answer to fix the long term problems. And throwing a bucket load of money at it today will only move the proble to X amount of years down the line agian

So what todo?

Animals get a disease they get piled up on a field and burnt to stop it spreading. We being humans and the 'greater' animal just get away with spreading it. HIV is slowly becoming like the plague Something drastic needs to be done...what tho i have no idea

lee for a moment then i thought ya was sugesting burning em in a field to solve it

would have made that "other" word seem harmless if ya did

spadge its down to corupt govenments ect, they just ignore nad dont educate enough

if ya got no food, tv ect then the only thing left it to screw


children dying is wrong BUT untill they invade africa to solve there corupy govenments then there wont be a hope ( is there oil in africa out of interest )

i know this sounds wrong but i find the emu way is best, i dont see the bad stuff then i dont think about it

hardly think its anything to laugh at myself Bal Dont twist me words into trying to make em funny too. Not having a go mate but theres certain posts that should remain on a serious note.

I strongly believe anyone with HIV/AIDS should be made to not be able to have children... by medical ways not just law...

Can't think of anything that warrants a smiley as in laughing myself Ginge
Its just not funny at all and comparing people to animals i'm not too sure about either
The main point i was trying to make was these adults know they have no food and no money and are unlikely to have any of these things. They also have aids and are bound to pass it on to any children they have! So why have children if they know they are going to suffer and die
I just can't understand how they can do it

Makes you think

its not that they donr believe innit, they cant get the right medical kit to do it. but there belief in family growth for harvest and tribal come land ownership is stronger. more now as aids and hiv is killing off there children so more babies to cope with the deaths that did not used to go on. apart from famine and disaster, now they have this new kileer to cope with or there family generations disappear.

Spadge my thing about animals is just referal to what we really are. As said above having Babies is what they 'do' and what they 'beleive in'. Well i just think all this needs to be overlooked, no matter what they beleive and how long they been doing it, something needs to be done and one BIG FACTOR in helping stop the spread is to stop them having kids.....Sad, very sad but true

I know mate and your 2nd post made me realise this but was made befoe i finished mine!
About time these aids infected people who like a bonk and don't care if a child that is going to suffer comes as a result of their pleasure were 'forceably' given the 'snip' imo regardless of their race or creed

agree with u lee but from there point of view there whole way of life and generations of there families hangs in the balance of maybe one healthy child to keep it going, and keep what small amount of hope and respect they have. but as you say to stop the spread you have to contain the source.

Its something that i just cant see happening...because of thier beleifs. When the plague was here ANYTHING would and could have been done to stop/prevent the spread. Now the world we live in prevents drastic measures and we are just gonna be wiped out because if beliefs and traditions

lee i never ment it in a malicious way ( this site really can be hard work at time )

as for any children who are helpless,,,,,,,, trust me i hate that alot more than you may think

the fact is its all well and good talking about it, but in a place where you can not stop it due to political reasons more than anything makes it a hard subject

maybe aids screening should be something that all countries take as part of a passport situation, as someone sugested castrate who ever has it, may not stop the virus as we as far as i know are unsure what caused it but will help to maybe find the cause and then we can have a fighting chance to deal with it and help stop the spread

its not gonna be long before we all know 1 person whos died of aids, its soon gonna be as comon as cancer and thats not only cause of people in there own countrys but in other places helping it to spead

but this subject is a very big one and no offence but we wopnt be able to sort that out on here

Very upseting to see these children suffering in this way and when you have a child of similar age yourself it makes it all the more upsetting!
That gets to me too.
