sports releife - will it ever solve the problem in Africa ?

[waterhog]

shame on you sports relief

this is going to finish me,
well that's my belief,
do you want to no how,
i am going to condemn sports relief.
i fully respect the BBC,
but i condone there participation,
this is going to enhance the problem,
it will rise quicker then inflation.
when i was little,
Band Aid was created for Africa to feed,
and every few years,
food shortage is a predictable read.
we have in the past invaded Iraqi,
regime change was the mission,
dose Africa not need this,
to give the African people a good vision.
the well off in this country,
never not eat and live respectably,
we have our own crisis in the UK,
i want to deal with and solve our own vulnerability.
my message is simple,
no dancing, no running for sports relief,
because if we don't end this,
we are feeding Africa more grief.


(i am very sorry if i am being ignorant but this problem happens all the time and untill we change the root of the problem it is going to keep happening.)

I honestly thought Sport Relief was some kind of fitness event... with the charities benefitting being like local sports centres and community projects

No it has to many wars all over the place

Oh no your not getting me again like the india thread...nooo siree bob!

Of course it's not. There's not enough resources for the entire population of the earth, especially with first world countries being so greedy.

Africa suffers because it's governments are so corrupt, charity money usually funds the warlords rather than the villages

Don't see us stepping in on their governments unless there's a massive oil find either

Yes, exactly. I think that won't change until the citizens rebel and demand a fair government, it has to come from themselves imo, but at the same time I do think it's important to help out the poorest of those people until that happens

[King Gizzard]

Cause the places are so poor alot of them aren't armed so they don't have the means to rebel

They'll have to find a way though, there's no chance of any other country helping them out at this stage.

I think thats why it's more important to send food and the like, money will just get used for the wrong reasons.

[waterhog]

that is a real good point and i have no objection to that - but that will never happen - as it would solve the problem or part of it -
