Helping "your own" isnt grim (the term our own is a little grim but thats not the point that youve missed) the point that you missed it that it is grim to cease help of those that you dont consider "your own", simply because they are not "your own".
The point you missed it that its grim to let those who you dont consider "your own" to die because you want those that you do consider "your own" to be slightly more comfortable.
Its grim That some people would rather limit funding to one group of people to maximise funding to "their own" effectively and indirectly killing literally thousands, instead of keeping a rational compromise of killing close to 0, Its completely grim.

And to be fair, there was only one in the thread that repeated that this is their wish after their initial post - everyone else has either said that they would research more into it or have avoided the question completely after their initial grim rant. so to give credit, most arent as bad as Ive made out, but many posts in here are completely grim and indirectly murderous.

Even if we didn't have enough of 'our own' to help, as mentioned in a previous post, whatever we do it never stops. No lessons are ever learned.

If like more developed countries ipeople stopped having so many children they can't possibly afford and dooming them to a life of pain and suffering instead of expecting other countries to foot the bill, there would be a lot less suffering. Does being poor stop people from caring about the poverty they bring their children into.

I dont even believe you understand what you're going on about anymore.

Having child after child with not enough food to feed them is cruel. You don't have to be educated to realise that.
