The official poverty thread

"The UK promised $1.3bn, and Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates said he would give $1bn to the campaign."

Do you believe that??
 
Awesome idea, that's 4 million kids' lives saved!

Now we just need to convince people in poor countries to only have 1 child, like in China.
We don't want to have 7 billion people walking on this earth in a few years.
We don't want to have 9 billion people by 2050 either, things will go terribly wrong in the near future with such a big world population!
 
Just re-reading it, this is all very nice but someone is making money out of this.
$1000 a person! how much are vacinations these days, no wonder the drug companies are happy to sell at cost.
 
I'm not saying China is a good example.
I'm just saying that if most people in 3rd world countries would only have 0, 1 or even 2 kids, the world population will stop growing and that is only beneficial in the long term!

Was saying if we could convince them, not 'policy' them as in China!
