Whilst one doesn't want to belittle such a devastating illness I was wondering if some of the funds raised could go towards sending out some red bio-hazard suits with fur cuffs and hoods and a few false white beards for the medical staff... might not cure any victims but could go some way to cheering them up during the festive period.

Hope it will sell shedloads to the 'youth' who didn't get it the firs and second time around. If it does, it's worth putting up with the caterwauling din for a few weeks.

I don't expect anyone in danger of or who has actually got this bloody terrible disease knows, much less cares how any help they are getting has been funded or if a corrupt official has skimmed off a percentage

For something that's less than the price of a pint, it really does seem to get everyone in here really vexed.

Hundreds, if not thousands.

And between them they knocked out thousands of children that were doomed to starvation, and maybe the spread of disease. And those children grew up and had more children, and so it will carry on.

It's an ongoing  problem that will probably never be solved by sending aid.

It may not be palatable to most, but to let them die off is doing them a long term favour.

Stop all aid and within 5 years there will be nobody left.

It was later revealed that he was paid A$100,000 for his speech, which included a luxury hotel room and first-class airfares."[50]

I wasn't born when the Third Reich were at the height of their popularity.

Hitler should have an upper case 'H' btw.

I have no idea why Hitler would want to conquer Africa, it's a bit like me being King of the field behind my house. Nothing there, been dug over by the farmer, and it stinks of fertiliser.   

Mind you, if Hitler did, there was plenty of slave labour available on site though, to dig the rail tunnel under the water.

Leaving aside the moral issue of starving an entire continent to death (not that you're racist, of course), there's a practical problem with your plan:

Lower standards of living = higher birth rates

The reason that the world would benefit from sorting out the giant mess that is Africa is that it is the best way of stopping its population from increasing so rapidly.

So the only reason you could have for wanting them to starve is simply that you enjoy watching them starve.
