Stop drinking , stop gambling, don't do drugs, don't smoke cigarettes.
Spend most of you're time being productive. Get a job, get a second job,
find ways to make extra money. Be professional, be honest, follow the laws.

Why is that impossible for so many?

if they are eating mud cakes there probably are no lights or electricity and little to no clean water either

what is your point Petros because it sounds a lot like the following...others in other countries have it way worse...these Canadian kids are lucky so we don't need to help them...god damned poor here should be happy

if that is not your point please explain what you keep hammering on and on about

There are no poorin Canada. Lotto winners aren't poor. One child tax credit cheque is 6 months of hard labour in Central America if you can find work.

My daughter talked me and the Mrs into going Guatemala to build a school. Do you think they harass staff at that school?

Do 16 year old kids at your school tear up because they can learn to read and write?

I think we need a definition of poor to further this discussion and to keep it worth talking about.

no, you don't. You like to make up your own understanding of what people post and then attack that. I've not ever claimed that I believe the world to be as black and white as what you say I'm saying.

Our standard of living is so high our poor are far far far ahead of the $2 a day somebody earns where there are truly poor.

No , they rather be homeless irresponsible fun having alcoholic, that gamble while smoking crack and break the law living on welfare. it's so much fun

Its so much more fun then being responsible and professional, with a house two cars, and trips to the Caribbean every couple of years.

Be a good little sheeple and you won't starve but step out of line and "the man come and take you away". The problem is not whether a person plays the game, it is that the game is rigged. If less than 1% own 80% resources what is left for those who play the game? We need a new game, one where everybody can be a winner. And don't give me the communist BS. That is the answer of those who don't have two brain cells to rub together. There are other alternatives and they have been well thought out by minds much greater than ours.
One example: New Earth Nation

I'm proud of being a good little sheeple, most of the population can't even do it, even if they wanted too.

It's no fun, they rather let their children starve.

Our society has gone down hill ever since women gained the right to vote.

With views like that it amazes me that you have reproduced.

The whole Muslim world shares that view and they reproduce at much faster rate then we.

With very few exceptions, what is regarded as poverty in Canada doesn't hold a candle to that in foreign countries.

Ya , you know showing up every day at work with my 45 000$ vehicle with 15 000 $ worth of top notch cutting edge tool technology is so much worse, then living like a animal.
