At times like these you realize how deluded the person you're debating is. I must say for someone who was practically having an orgasm on the Fourth of July, you don't seem that eager to support people who support the Constitution which doesn't permit the federal government to give any aid to anyone.

You obviously havn't read the Constitution then, cause the ENTIRE POINT of the Constitution is to award DIGNITY to HUMAN BEINGS, that's the whole POINT of it, and the idea that you would put MONEY over PEOPLE is repulsive, and totally AGAINST the ideals of the Constitution.

I'm not DEBATING you, i'm just answering your question.

You call eating bread crumbs out of Uncle Sam's hands "dignity"? Dignity would be where you allow these poor countries to earn their wealth by trading with them and eliminating the farm subsidies. Living a life of dependency on other people from other countries is the opposite of dignity.

umm, if bread crumbs are keeping you alive, then YES, the Constitution does have SOMETHING to say about the RIGHT to LIFE. you obviously havn't read it i guess?? The Bill of Rights, LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, in THAT order.

I've got to say arista, for someone who seems to strive to sound intelligent in your replies you are very simplistic in your views.

Whilst I think cutting aid completely would not be a good idea I find it hard to see why third world countries are still in the state they are in.

Comic Relief for instance, raises millions of pounds every year yet the problems in Africa don't improve.

It's confusing.

And those millions of pounds raised does a HUGE amount of good. I don't understand this idea some people seem to have that that money is just flushed down the drain. It DOES do good and every pound given does good.

I think there needs to be a system put in place to ensure the money is getting to where its needed. The amount of aid sent out doesn't always get there.

IU'm pretty sure such systems already exist and the people behind them are doing their best. If you can do better, well call yur local senator or minister or whatever is applicable and tell them YUR brilliant idea to make the system better.

Why are you spending yur time on a BB forum if you have this amazing new system to make sure AID money get's spent in a more effective way??

Go for it man!
