cnn, didn't read

not my problem.

cool

not my trouble

ye i was gonna type that.. but then didnt!!1

video games about hungry people are not very fun. unless they die and turn into zombies and you get to shoot them.

not too hungry to breed tons of offspring

should have less kids in africa then less people going hungry = np
1 child policy for africa kthx

that policy is already in place and it's called AIDS

slow effect though

Thats harsh,most poor people have very few recreational activities available besides fucking, and even less know about birth control.

they can chase antelopes or something

Which would also provide food!

winnar

why do you think kenia wins 5000 gold medals in marathon disciplines @ the olympics?

because they have to run a lot in order to get laid?

Harsh? Then they should be educated. What more, evil faggots like the catholic church with their 'contraception is evil' regimes should be banned from speaking to them.

tough luck

I'm hungry :(

To show my respect, I'm going to fast until the time it takes me to finish typing this sente--om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom


Couldn't make it, fuck.

a toast to your curse, well done =(

i wonder what all these 1 billion people have in common? besides being very poor obviously..

Too many people on earth, not enough resources. Even if there is enough resources and we feed those people, then they will continue to fuck and have 15 babies, soon there won't be any resources. The earth can only handle a certain amount. We are pretty close to it. Soon wars will be fought just for space to grow food.

(if we can even grow food by then, with global climate changes. who knows whats going to happen.)

When resources are plentiful, reproduction slows.

soon enough there won't be. The world can only hold a certain amount.

Actually, there is enough resources. It's not the lack of resources, but the distribution. Why would anyone try to sell stuff in for example africa, when they can sell it to a rich country that will pay more?

What's even more lol is that most of the african countries even have enough food to feed their population, but sell it to richer countries rather.

you don't understand. there is enough resources now, but in the future there won't be. Since our population is pretty much doubling tripling in shorter amounts of time, so again soon there won't be any space and wars will be fought over it.

look it up. 2030 there will be 8-12 billion people on earth I bet.

There is plenty of space, it would take much longer than 20 years in order for there to be a space problem. I'm quite surprised that you are from the US and you think you're going to run out of space. Out of everywhere, the americas have vast amounts of free land. In South African if I drive from Cape Town to Johannesburg there's practically 1500km of nothing.

I think we will find cheap synthetic ways to make food long before there would be any wars fought over it.

nah. are you fucking stupid? how much space is fertile? how much space is there for growing food? The earth isn't that big with 7 billion people. Most of the earth is not habitable and shit can't be grown.

LOL! LOL! Stop wasting my time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_footprint

LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!

Actually there aren't enough resources, we're already consuming more than what the Earth can offer in a sustainable way. This has been going on since the mid-70s when our ecological footprint went over one planet Earth.

Well sustainability is another thing, but I think we should cope for the next 50 years at least. What I meant is that right now, there is enough food for everyone on earth, but the distribution prevents this from happening.

food is just one thing, overall consumption is exploding seeing as countries like china grow with 8% rates and have huge increases in life expectancy. we're already using up more than the earth can deal with in the long run, and the real resource needs are only about to kick in. if everybody was living on western standards we'd use up like 4 times more than the earth can reproduce (rough number), don't have to be a genius to figure out that there will be some kind of shortage sooner or later. also growing a shitload of rice or wheat and providing water for humans is one thing, spending shitloads of all these things for cows and swines so you get nomnom tasty meat is on a whole different scale of resource needs. as long as markets do not work the way that sustainable development and protection of essential goods are promoted, this planet is going to be fucked within decades, be it people just starving or getting the shit bombed out of them/slavery.
you mentioned distribution, fixing that won't be that easy without major and fundamental changes on global scales seeing as 20% of the population use up 80% of resources right now, and these 20% sure as hell have no fucking interest in lowering their standards. ever.

you must been talking about indians

10% rule, in nature every level up the food chain gives 10% of the organism it consumes. So if we were to eat things high up in the food chain (any meat really) then we waste so many plants. In America we would have enough crops to feed ourselves and another continent if it were not given to cows.

I'm a veggie myself but that cow argument doesn't hold up too well... maddox did a pretty good writeup on it: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=grill

The 10% rule is true, but I guess what I forgot to say was that the world hasn't come to that, and that if we were to become overpopulated we would still be able to sufficiently feed ourselves.

you must eat A LOT of vegetables.

WTF i misread it as "More than 1 billion going to Hungary".

How it comes that after 3000 years of natural selection they are still hungry and they still live in Africa?

Actually most of the starving people are in Asia. Well done for reading the article.

Actually it doesnt affect my statement, does it?

So you mean why after 3000 years everyone in Africa didn't die out because of hunger? Well there never was too many people. Oddly, it is because of modern health care there has been a population explosion in the 20th century.

That, and European colonists completely fucking up the continent.

i just ate. and probably twice too much.

The problem is people without morals. Humans have to evolve further, we have to think more and feel less.

well aren't morals a matter of how you FEEL about a particular situation. And who's set of morals are we supposed to evolve to?

Some moral values are universal, like don't kill, help the weak, don't be greedy.

Ok not 'feelings' that vocable is way too vague. I wanted to say the old parts of our brain seem to be so much outdated in their function they don't work in modern society, as we are on a path to self destruction

you could say the same thing with culture too, our brains are too outdated to handle the advancement of culture. Just look how shit human society/cultures are.

Its nature, you can't have a billion of the poorest people living a long life, that would be a disaster. Best they die now.

Theyre hungry im not WIN

Every generation says the same thing. Aren't we lucky!

less people - more oxygen :)))))))))))

Sell the vatican, feed the world

lol'd

Sadly enough poverty is an entertainment for rich world and these problems will never be solved. Look at this crap for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2_-G8V9avg
These fucked up presenters are like hey whats up hehe whats crackin hmmm, imagine this bombing happened in the States.

Just because Jamerio doesn't get his daily dose of 10 big macs it doesn't mean he's hungry.

You're just bitter because I have the choice.

I hope you enjoy sardine sandwiches.

I've never eaten at McDonalds because I'm not a fat slob who gets off on eating shit.

something surprisingly high end :)

been more interested in things like overpopulation or depletion of natural resources, but it probably won't affect me in my lifetime.
let those starving fucks die.
