Oct 13, 2008 - MANILA, Philippines - About 1 billion people are absolutely poor, living on less than US$1 a day, said International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) - including 11 million Filipinos (13.5% of the country's population) live on less than $1 a day; 9.1 percent or 7.4 million are subjacent poor (living on 75c to 1$) and 4.4% or 3.6 million are medial poor (living on 50 - 75c). There is no figure for the ultra poor (living on less than 50 cents).

Oct 13, 2008 - I think everyone is missing the silver lining here... when all these people over there die off, we wont have to worry about feeding them... now will we?..... something to ponder!

Oct 13, 2008 - Nelson Mandela was a black nigga who got stuck in jail for the right reasons.

vivaxlaxche Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - The only reason you don't care is because you're probably some rich spoiled brat looking at others down your nose.However, I bet if you were in the position of a child in Zimbabwe, where a tootsie roll would be looked upon with such gratitude, you wouldn't be saying 'who gives a fuck?'

anscfoster Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - You can be this distant, this far from humanity so that you see starving infants, dying children in their mother's arms, and ask with resiliant humility, who cares? Truth of the matter is, not enough people do. People are dying, and people refuse to care. That will never stop amasing me.

anscfoster Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - he said LEADERS>

Dundada26 Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - there are very few "right" reasons to have your freedom taken

umrazi Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - those who say who cares when they see people dying must have had someone close to them die. or perhaps inside they are hurting. because every day they die a litle too...

ohyestheunknown Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - we should think how to real world leaders should be?

FukTheKwaItz Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - It's not our responsibility to help this loser race. Life allocates a certain length of time in which you must evolve to a sufficient degree. Niggers have hardly surpassed the monkey in evolution which is why they bear such a close resemblance to them and why they are only a little more intelligent. These creatures that are neither monkey nor human should be left to die. We should not prolong the limbo they're in where they belong to neither the African jungle vines nor civilized human society

Oct 13, 2008 - The answer is simple just tell mandela to buy less rockets, guns, battleships, tanks, rifles and fighter jets and bullets. africa has no money for food but everyone their can buy a loaded gun to take your food.

nexusconnexus Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - ANC/zanu-pf admit it you did not have a macro economic plan for south africa your greedy eyes could only see what you could get out of the deals to come and personally position yourselves to take advantage of them. It's a big RIP OFF!

nexusconnexus Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - you know what? 'UNCLE TOM' ain't dead yet. freedom without finnancial freedom means there is no freedom durr

nexusconnexus Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - I was always taught never give money to a begger, 'never a borrower or a lender be', so what is the master plan ans when do we see results. south africa - mauritiaus banking meeting 1985. who agreed to borrow more when the existing white market was not big enough? south africa was never about freedom ....

dojothecat Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - if for years and in fact centuries european economies grew from the forcible taking of natural resources from colonialized countries, how exactly does "aid" and "cancelling of debt" qualify as borrowing from as you put it the "white market?"

Tearcraftproducts Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - In a world of faceless, high-speed mass production, our range of beautifully handcrafted home, gift and jewellery items stands apart.Each item reflects the creativity and skill of the craft worker who made it. Tearcraft exists to benefit skilled craftspeople from some of the world's poorest communities.Join us in bringing transformation and fresh hope to people living in poverty.

ourearthhome Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - Any time humanity wants to have this planet work for all with no one left out it can be done. Certainly just trade, debt cancellation and high quality aid are part of the how. The monopoly of land and natural resources is where colonialism started and whether denial of access to land continues to this day by foreign corporations or indigenous elites it must finally be dealt with. A simple economic fact is that land value is created by society as a whole. It therefore belongs 100% to all of us.

redCode526 Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - Poverty is the lagest crime.Yeah,make poverty history.

Oct 13, 2008 - One man's ripple in the ocean can build into a wave as the love he sends forth touches others and they in turn touch someone else. 'Happy Birthday' Nelson Mandela. :o) You started the wave that carries the tune of a World United in peace, love, compassion, and knowledge...that wave is now a tsunami and growing every day until finally we will all be smiling together for each other. :o) My sincerest gratitude and deepest respects to you on your 90th Birthday Sir.

Oct 13, 2008 - Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. It is time for us to act now to overcome poverty. I love what Nelson Mandela says in this video. The goal is achievable. We have to stop looking the other way.peace,vicki
