I suppose Jacques never eats French food.
Welecome to Obama’s world.
“Typical socialist crap - everything is a zero sum game, there is only limited good, complete ignorance of economics, and the facile and false notion that its simply a matter of forcing a transfer from one party to another.”
You got that right!
The three biggest causes of famine are drought Marxism and revolution (war).
All revolutions that I am aware of these days are lead by Marxist, so you could in reality simplify that down to Marxism and drought.
And if I had to guess which was the leading cause of famine I would choose Marxism.
UN-Useless Nations.
I heard that one too growing up. I always countered with “But it will spoil by the time the postman gets it there.”
Even when I was a little kid I realized that this was a stupid argument.
mmmmm cotton candy....
We’ve given poor countries enough food to feed everybody, but it doesn’t get to them because of corruption in their governments. The same kind of corruption practiced by the UN.
Diuof should try to get back a billion dollars or so from Kofi and see if he can feed anybody with that.
From the strain indicated on the button of his suitcoat, it looks like Dioufe isn't exactly leading by example.
I get a little ticked when I read reports of “the UN provided food to....” or “the UN provided medicine to....” The UN doesn’t grow, produce, manufacture SWAT!
Most of those items come from the US.
The UN is evil and the evil will grow....I can’t help but think the AntiChrist will come from the UN....or be closely tied to it.
The UN clowns are clueless about how markets work — and they are overtly hostile to the very existence of liberty.
The solution is to spread capitalism and freedom to the impoverished lands, but the U.N. clowns will never voice that.
Commies, commies, everywhere, and not an honest man in sight.
If I buy something, it’s mine and I can throw it in the trash if I want.
If he wants it, he can buy it... Oh, that’s right, he’s a commie thief and wants someone else to pay for it. And he’s not particular if that someone else feels bad about it.
In other words, he wants to steal it. And we’re the bad guys?
If Doof were starving to death, I wouldn’t give him a bite of mouldy of bread out of my garbage can. He’d pay my asking price or go without.
Couldn’t find a picture of a fat black kid or a fat Hispanic kid, noooooo.... gotta be a fat white kid. Ah yes.
Didn't South Park do this first?
My post sounds rather like an echo of yours. ;-)
The bastards in the UN will never acknowledge the truth, that world hunger is not due to availability of food or logistics, it’s due to corrupt governments using starvation as a weapon. The very corrupt governments the UN props up.
Meh, whatever, Africa had a 3 million year head start... And when they were very productive, i.e. Rhodesia... the people that didn’t know a a spade from a rock were given control of the land... and now they all starve.. sucks to be them... tribal mentality.
Of course if one travels the ME, China, India, Japan, Thailand, Turkey, Egypt, they will no ever see a fat native citizen in those countries.
WTF?
