Hunger
« on: November 07, 2012, 09:55:53 am »
How many people believe that we should take care of the hunger in the US before we go abroad and help the hungry all over the world?

I am not saying that our nation should not help, but look at all the hunger in the US. I worked at a Head start program and the meals we served there were the only real meal some of our children got to eat. That is why we would let them have as much as they wanted.

[Sarcasm] The government or anyone else shouldn't be helping anyone, that's communist talk and you're un-american for thinking any of that socialist BS.  This is American and we can all pull ourselves up by the bootstraps without anyone's help! [/Sarcasm]

Basically put, I agree that pulling out of other countries to fix our own problems is a necessary idea atm. It goes with the individual parallel that one cannot help others unless they're in decent shape themselves.

You're a good person for doing that. I tip my hat to you, stranger.

I agree, we should fix our own problems first.  Like they say on the airlines, put the oxygen mask on yourself first then on your child.  As many parents know if you don't take care of yourself you have less to give your children.   :peace:

Giving the hungry food will not fix hunger. It ignores the root cause of their situation.

Please read 2nd Tim chaptor 3 and you can see how it reveals the times we live in are this.

And in Mathew it says of many food shortages too.

I see people panicing just from this hurricane...this is nothing compared to the great tribulation that will start as soon as governments shut down religeons.Jesus said no flesh would be saved if those days werent cut short.

I do believe that it is difficult to help someone else when you cannot help yourself.

Also, the main reason why other countries are starving is not because they are not getting enough help. Its because their corrupt governments are bleeding the country dry (thus the reason why they are poor to begin with.) and any amount of donating to them will not solve their problem since these donations just go to feed the beast. If we are to end the worlds problems, we must end all forms of tyranny. The only form of government that works is a republic which allows for an almost completely free economy that is allowed to grow naturally on its own is the most effective means by which to increase the standard living of a countries citizens. This must start at home.

As long as the free economy watches for fraudulent behavior, I completely agree.

Religion will be it's own demise. It's already happening! Gov't won't have very much to do with it unless you're going to blame the gov't for people having free access to information.

Which is why I said almost. Of course we need a court system that will allow people to fight against not only fraud in a criminal sense, but injustice in a civil sense.
