As I said you don’t get to decide who is or isn’t charitable according to where others would rather see aid money go. We have plenty in need here and plenty of other good causes. We keep throwing money at countries in Africa Year after year, decade after decade, but nothing ever changes. People keep having too many children who suffer and die - and yes that is depressing to watch - but the help we give makes just a small dent in the problem which is forever ongoing.

More needs to be done about educating these people or perhaps offering financial incentives to people to have no more than a couple of children. I don’t understand how people can keep bringing children into such suffering. It may be a different culture with different thinking but commonsense should dictate to anyone in such poverty that if they keep having child after child those poor children are going to suffer - you can’t keep conveniently ignoring that personal accountability.

Stop dictating to everyone how to think and act and then try to belittle them because they don’t think/act like you. You do your bit and I’ll do mine - without feeling the need to get on my soapbox all the time. I often feel that people who constantly try to shove such opinions down the throats of others do more harm than good as people tend not to respond well to such people. Good communication is the key - not political rhetoric and insinuations.
