Why should I send cash and food to starving 3rd world children? I would rather send CONDOMS!?

Question

I don't want OUR children to keep paying for THEIR children. Stop giving money and food, switch to condoms. Those governments that oppose the use of birth control, should be off the "send help" list. Am I wrong?

Answer 1

You might as well send condoms to rabbits the thought patterns are similarly .

Answer 2

cause the poor and starving can eat latex

Answer 3

not at all...but also they need to quit giving out welfare here and give condoms instead!

Answer 4

IMHO there are plenty of people in the US who haven't mastered the idea of birth control.

I overheard a lady at the casino a few weeks ago about how her sister is having her 18th child.

Enough problems in the US to deal with.

I'll never understand why everyone is so concerened with things going on overseas.

Answer 5

Not if you're a Republican

They'll have to send preachy books about the virtues of abstinence instead

Answer 6

Condoms don't taste very good...

Answer 7

and no bibles

Answer 8

what?  seriously...when have you EVER sent ANY money or food to 3rd world children.  I bet never.

Answer 9

I agree they should be educated on how to use birth control.

Answer 10

This is a very provocative question that's subject to a variety of answers, some of them have already been advanced.

While, at first glance, it seems like the decent and humanitarian thing to do, especially when we can afford to do so, sending aid to help the starving children has been going on for many years to little or no avail.  Instead, there is so much graft and conversion of these funds to other purposes that it's hard to know what's actually getting through.  The use of condoms is an absolute waste of latex, their men won't use them.  

Put the crying towel aside for the moment and consider that all of our "feel good" efforts, the Jolie, Winfrey & Bono deeds are not gaining ground, these only operate to the perpetuation of an ever increasing protracted agony which is so out of control that the only practical solution is to stop the cycle of exponential social mayhem.  

There's ample history to show that all of the efforts have only resulted in keeping more people alive who, in turn, continue to produce an even larger problem.  And it's hardly humanitarian to do the kinds of things which are actually and factually making matters much worse.

World population statistics bear out the fact that the populations of these areas of concern are increasing at faster rates than elsewhere.  Is this madness?  

What might the solutions be, by what means can the direction of growth be turned?  The options are horrible but the continuation of what we have been doing are far worse.  These create more poverty, more illness and more diversion of funds.

The only option is a "no child" policy by whatever means.  The least invasive means is through a mandatory sterility program introduced via food & water, notwithstanding religious and human rights concerns.  The next option which seems alturistically unacceptable is to let Nature solve the problem, stand by and render no assistance.  

Before telling me how terrible this sounds, tell me how increasing the problem by staying the course is better.

Answer 11

That was a good one to read.  I think that everyone is right.  Funny thing is I never even thought about it.  I always wondered why they were asking us and if they were giving.  Another question condoms are good, birth control too but what about for the children that are already here, both here and in those other places?

Answer 12

haha

I agree completely. If you can't feed the *******, STOP HAVING THEM.

Answer 13

Well the money is being spent on others things other than food. Money is being spent on educating the people. The more education, fewer babies and fewer AIDS cases. Besides no one is forcing you to give anything.

Answer 14

thank you!!  Nuff said

Answer 15

Giving condoms to those people is like giving silverware to a pig... probably not gonna be that effective. I firmly believe those people would appreciate a couple of boxes of flyswatters.... maybe some Off insect repellent.

Answer 16

You are a horrible, horrible person.

I cannot believe that the majority of the answers in this question agree with you. Get your heads out of your asses and have a heart!

PS: I'm not religious at all, you selfish prick ;)

Answer 17

I agree with you.

I'd also send money for vasectomies and tubal ligations.

Answer 19

I'm with you for the most part. But the children who currently exist need food, the adults need the condoms, them and eventually the children who you sent food to.......................d**n it. Yeah, send condoms.

Answer 20

You know, I thought this too at one point. But, then I read a very interesting article about the fact that most men in those places refuse to wear condoms, regardless that they are available. There are far too many rapes and other sexual crimes against women to warrent the full switch from food and necessities to condoms only.

Answer 21

Doesn't matter what you send, the Islamists will take all of it and the world will blame us for trying to help.  Black Hawk Down anyone?

Answer 22

They can't eat condoms lol and there are people over here who work hard to take of her kids(me) and need some helps right now wish I could get free money!!!!!!!!!!
