African Aid.

[TWR]

Yes I have sent money not only to Africa but many other appeals but enough is enough, each night as you watch the TV there are ads for Africa, Dogs homes, & many many more & before someone comes on & say it, I am not tight but I get muffed why the Government of them Country's are not doing enough to help their own instead of relying on the rest of the world to dig in their pockets to help. to me Africa would benefit more with birth control, can you remember 20+years back, there was a mass appeal headed by B.Geldof etc for Ethiopia1 & where are we, back to square one with children dying. Is birth control the answer? we cannot control the weather but we can control the children that are dying.

This definitely deserved to be repeated boo.

Boo
its amazing that all the words that have been thrown around on the other thread and you come up with a basic truth.

[ethandron]

i will never again give to african aid and i do not feel guilty about it.
those who want to will, i'm sure, continue to do so.
does this make me a bad person? no.
we all choose where we put our money and i feel it is nothing to do with anyone where i choose to put mine. and nothing to do with me where anyone else puts theirs.

Well said TWR.

[notasyoungasiwas]

TWR on the other thread about Africa that AOG started, I have just posted similar to what you say about the elderly in our country. Great minds think alike !

[emmie]

as i did, but it seems the doddery amongst us, are mean and the young are all givers, that is how it comes across, which of course is nonsense.

[notasyoungasiwas]

I'm sort of in between doddery and young !

[emmie]

I don't know what i am, but hungry comes to mind.

[TWR]

EM10, I will help anyone with anything that is asked of me, that includes if the elderly in my area are in need I will help, if there are problems with families, I will help, there is a lot I can help with but I cannot help the weather, only the person upstairs can do that, to give birth you, as you know need two eggs, the mail & female, if the male in the country that is over populated & part of it caused by the male using his D---K instead of his brain that is not the UK fault, how is it this country cannot find money for our own problem but can find millions to help Africa AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN, Winter is not that far off & heating. food prices are going up, would Africa help the pensioners here that are dying of the cold while they are still SH-----G their @rses off to over populate their nation so they can then again ask the west for help?
