I mean, we see all of this stuff on TV and online like 'Awesome faceonate now only £5.00 a month and save a family' and whilst watching i think, well i don't need to donate because someone else will, - instead of me. At my school we look into charity events at great detail as we are very privilaged, and i havent been interested in helping people until recently.

It's not as it seems, more money needs to sent - is it fair if we are born into a world where we are spoonfed everything? We go to school, we are fed, we raise a family and then you look at a child in Africa who has work an hour before getting fed - these children are aged between 4-6, they have a huge change of getting illness'.

I don't want to come across as someone who is 'weird' or trying to push you out of your money, put it is worth it in the long run.

I agree, but I think a reason a lot of people don't donate is suspicion of the TV ads, a lot of times I don't donate just because if it is being advertised on TV, chances are they are trying to make a profit. And I know that not all people want to make a profit out of it, but that could be a big reason why some people don't donate to causes like this.

That's life I was born here in the western world and they were born there in a 3rd World country, this is going to sound very arrogant but, why should I have to do anything it's not my fault there starving it's there corrupt governments that do this to them.

But from another view I suppose you could say it's our duty like Winston Churchill said its the "White Man's Burden" to govern these countries that cannot govern themselves but the way charity organisations ask for our support and our money to help them makes it sound like were guilty of causing them to be poor starving in the first place.

What I really have to say is one day there is going to be a point where enough is enough and us westerner's will take over there land and use it as our own because we keep building bigger and taller buildings and one day we are going to run out of space and all these 3rd world countries will be colonised have an infrastructure built in and then new city's will gradually emerge, that will then be the end of that kind of poverty but there is still poverty in city's as I'm sure you probably know.

Also to make this clear if I offended anyone I'm sorry but needles to say subjects like this are important in today's society and this is just my opinion, feel free to hate me for never donating to charity.

I don't want to sound like a dick... But do they send money to us? No...

Why should i give my money to people i don't know, and will probably never meet. I mean, they didn't choose that life, but we didn't give them that type of life either, it isn't our responsibility.

They should stop having children they can't support, or when they get sick. I bet that will ease a few of the problems they have.
