it is a typical western view you share of "it's my money and due to my total lack of empathy and morality i don't want to help save a child every 3 seconds i want my half stick of gum a day" it is view totally void of morality and fueled by greed. it seems you cannot possibly comprehend the poverty we are talking about here. the huge difference between you and them. and the small amount of money it would take to ease that. to give these people a fighting chance in this world. to end half the world living in poverty. it's alright for you. you live on the other half. you've never felt poverty like what the other half experiences and so you lack an gkind of empathy regarding it and believe that aiding it would be theft not humanity. i'll give you a challenge. last a month on a dollar a day. the average wage on the african continent. just that single dollar. once you have experienced that month and say that it's totally cool to life like that and it's not an urgent act of humanity that is required to be done. then and only then can you hold your argument that it is theft not humanity to save these people.
