Why should I care about Somalians, since their own countrymen don't?

The Road to Hell: The Ravaging Effects of Foreign Aid and International Charity ???

I read it awhile back. He admits there are well run charitable organization that truly do help those they intend too. However, he makes a compelling case for, as he put it, “Where you see Western Charity organizations, you see western employees sending western food and western equipment to accomplish western objectives.” the goal is not to help, the goal is to use the people that need to help to fund an organisation’s self interests.

I recall Oxfam and the IMF particularly getting raked over the coals.

How does Somalia manage? The place looks like a desert-dry as a bone. As far as sending “aid” to them, what is the point? The place is run by warlords, who steal the food and sell it…so they can by weapons. Check out “Blackhawk Down”-any attempt to help these people usually ends disastrously.
In any case, I’m all for having the “red Crescent” handle relief efforts.

If death is more humane than living, then is it more humane to end their suffering quickly? Isn’t a quick and painless death more humane than letting women and children agonize with starving to death over periods of weeks?

Perhaps we should be giving them nooses, not food. Could you see your way to contibuting a few bucks to send some nylon rope over there?

Sorry, there was “The Nutty Professor” on another channel.

Gee, what do these two groups have in common?

:dubious:

They’re both shorter in real life than they appear on television?

Melanin.

According to Google, there are at least two albino rappers.

Has this ever happened? A rapper killing another rapper?

Come now, they’re both just negros killing negros, what’s there to get worked up about? It’s not like white people are dying.

You shouldn’t. Generally speaking the growth rate of sub-saharan africa is unsustainable. From 100 million people in 1900 to 770 million in 2005 and projected to hit 2 billion by 2050! Not sustainable and needs to be stablised.

And as someone who regards people of dark skin as genetically inferior naturally you think that the proper solution - a Final Solution, one might say - for their problems is mass death.

Because we are supposed to have already evolved from being animals to being humans. apparently some still haven’t.

Keep stirring up that moral outrage Der Trihs! That is your one means of argument and you’re sticking with it :slight_smile:

Certainly if the population keeps expanding to the point of 2 billion by 2050 you are likely to see mass death as you put it, through starvation and war.

Don’t feed the animals.

Oh, your racist nonsense has done an excellent job of stirring up moral outrage with no help from me.

And there’s a classic; naturally, nothing will change between now and then, they’ll grow without limit and the brown hordes will overwhelm the world and the pure Aryan Race will be destroyed.

Wrong. Humans are animals.

You know quite well that The Sheikh was speaking in the moral sense of “not an animal”, not the biological one.

True, although as I suggest above - the moral approach would be to supply free contraceptive injections to stabilize those populations to prevent further starvation.

No, your suggestion was to cut off aid. You didn’t say a word about supplying anything whatsoever.
