Wait till the Canadian dollar drops below all the other countries and then ask the same question.
;)
while they eat your lunch 'cause they can afford too.

LOL
look at why Canadians are so in personal debt, ask how much of that went on food last year, and pray for the future...

50 years ago almost everyone in Canada had a big garden.

Africa could easily feed themselves and the world if it weren't for conflict.

You might have noticed I never said any countries were overpopulated, so I don't know which countries you're asking me about. Which countries do you think are overpopulated?

Personally I don't think any country is over populated that can manage food supplies for their citizens, the ones that can't are either incompetent or not providing enough education/resources to feed themselves even if that includes over population

Sudan was a huge player in beef until Muzzies killed the herds and torched the grasslands.

Isn't it Zimbabwe that killed, burnt or kicked out all the white farmers, and now asking them to return because they can't manage the farms properly

It was always figured to be cholera. Now they're saying typhoid. So what?

You're saying that the problem isn't the population but food management and education.

Yup. Bob Mugabe is a class act. They should make him a UN goodwill ambassador for being multiculturally driven.

Is that how you interpreted it? I'm pretty sure I said it was a combination of things

There was a lot of logical nonsense in your comment and I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt so I didn't mention that you said overpopulated countries are overpopulated because they are overpopulated. Try rephrasing it.

Why am I being graded on my comment?

Grammar at least. Logic hopefully. I don't know what they taught in school when you were school. They had us doing debates in elementary school.

Analytical Methodology of Bullshit.

It's a 110 class, you can't understand bullshit without 3hrs a week of lab.

I get the strong feeling we agree with each but are being too cagey.

My whole point here is that the problem is not the population but the distribution of resources. Blame that on a number of things such as corruption, incompetence, war, neo-colonialism, discrimination, disaster etc., but it's not that there are too many people. When we say overpopulation is the problem, we suggest the solution should be fewer people, but that will only mean fewer people are being deprived. The problem is the deprivation.

Anyway Cord. my point is countries like India and China where there population is high they are able to manage there food stocks not to let there residents starve. Where as other countries that are crying for donations to feed there starving population are not doing everything in their power to feed their populace either through incompetence, corruption, or lack of commitment of resources, education to help the populace supply enough food for themselves and others.

Yep pretty much what I said in my own way
