Well I mean with the million you could use some on yourself, but also use the money for more than just families. Like you could build some schools or hospitals with it and donate to other places as well.
That's because the money isn't getting to the people who need it. The money is given to governments who just keep it for themselves. In this case, the money will be given to those who need it. That's the difference.
Hey guest, that's a fairly good point in theory , but I don't recall a ton of people turning on the warlords in Somalia. I most definitely have bias. I wish the world was a perfect place and the last shot was fired in violence , but if they will take food when their starving and set you up to die , they can starve. I value the men and women's lives that went there to feed them more than their lives. Sounds cold, but it's far from a perfect world. I edited this because it souds dicky when I read it. I didnt mean to sound sarcastic if it came across that way.
My dumb ass would probably go back tomorrow and try again ,just because of the kids. They get abused in some really messed up ways at a very young age. I ain't heartless to the plight, but damn.
@popsy they turned into warlords and pirates due to proverty. Same reason you have gangs in low income areas. It is a survival tactic. They have poverty because colonialism has done a number on the continent. Many civil wars are due to western countries messing with original political structures of the countries.
The Somali government dissolved . I don't think that was due to either NATO or Soviet influence. A lot of other African countries got screwed over during the cold war.Plus, they do have a pretty messed up past, with slavery,murdering other tribes, war ect. That's all on their own without any outside help.
That must be a pretty sparsely populated area where 2000 people gaining wealth would cause inflation so massive that it would render the money donated useless.
Soo... I'd take the money too
Idc what the rest of you think of me
Especially when I'm fucking rich!
Sooooo, million is mine.
