I think most people with access to information and the media would say that taking urgent steps to ease the extreme and obscene poverty that exists in this world is important.
But it seems that quite a few people don’t agree.
and it’s not just the big boys who say ‘fuck em’
a BBC news page showed that plenty of jo public felt that the fact that they were simply lucky enough to have been born into a life so rich with opportunity meant that they were excused from taking part in wider society.

If people want to help the Third World, good luck to them – donate to the relevant charities and feel good about yourselves. Personally, I have other priorities and choose not to donate to Third World causes. I resent my government taking my tax and distributing it overseas. This is not what I pay tax for.
Well done to the USA for not supporting the government’s ideas on Africa. Everyone who earns their money should be able to spend it how they see fit. I agree with Ed in Texas.
now, I work fucking hard, live in a modest home, drive an ancient car, have a little money for luxuries like clothes, books, music, a computer…
but although i certainly ain’t rich… I am one of the richest people in the world and i don’t mind who has a bite of my cake, as long they appreciate it TBH
does anyone else feel like getting hold of these people and parachuting them right into the middle of Mogadishu?
