. In fact we are in a globalisation process... Quote from callmeput:
" it's to see your neighboring countries catching up to you and overtaking you that is, from a human perspective, hard to swallow."
I agree that it´s hard if only Usa or a single country would be the only one to initiate a more human economy. It would be like saying - "come and eat our food and steal our cars".
But what if globaly?
Thanks for the library link Harry. Wise words

Quote from Chairman:
It has been said that if funding was shifted from military operations in just the USA alone, there would be more than enough money to feed the entire nation. Military funding world wide is in the trillions. If each nation agreed to provide a certain percentage of their military funding, I strongly feel that ending world hunger would also reduce the number of wars.
It has also been said that the amount of food that goes to waste in the USA alone could feed every hungry being.
But when will we actually decide to make any changes?
Quote from trade4succes:
Do you think shifting military funds to free food would end world hunger?
One of the other left wing misconceptions. (same as the offshoring is bad for our economy fable).
If the western world would provide more free food to every third world nation, the end result would be an even faster growth in breeding, so MORE wars, because there isn't enough land to live on for everyone, not to speak of all the ruination of nature and natural resources, capacity of our mother earth.
To end hunger, we should treat the developing world as even partners in business, not giving free food and subsidies for changing them into a copy of our own world.
Please, think logically before you come with these naive left wing propagandas.
ps. i am not entirely anti-left, but definitely concerning these issues.
Quote from harrytrader:
Oh and the huge AMOUNT OF DEBTS created by US is not LEFT WING POLITICS ??? What is funny is that it has been hugeley applied by the supposedly "republicans" party ! They are as republican as my donkey !

If we add economical growth to worlds misery today we end up with a much less attracting result.
