Sugar,spice, and everything nice. And a whole lot of evil every 28 days. With this recipe, you get a creature that has the ability to get me to kick my own ass across the room, while she sits on the couch and cackles.( I am not counting sugar and spice as food, because you could not survive on on those alone.)

If I recall my sociology professor, we do have enough food for the entire population, in fact we have more than enough. It just the means of distribution that fail to provide it.

Right, new plan. Stop giving food to Africa, and unleash a very large pack of hungry, ill tempered man eating tigers in South Africa. We'll then go there in a few Jeeps, herd them into all the townships and put out a highlights show on ESPN.
Any takers?

Tigers (& other carnivores) don't eat people unless they absolutely have to. We're not among the top food choices.

"Obviously these impoverished peoples are getting food. They must, or they simply would not exist."
Yes. The people who are alive, during the time when they are alive, technically have a sufficient level of edible substances to temporarily not die.
The point is that anyone who thinks that's good enough is an ass.

I'm sorry, Shik, but that just doesn't make sense. We have more food in the USA than we need, we're *not giving it to Bangladesh,* yet our birth rate declines and theirs goes up because somehow our surplus affects their birth rate even though we're eating it?

The food has to be available. The population continues to increase.

Isn't that rather tautological? I mean, trying to prove that more food available means more people by saying there are more people so there must be food available? I understand it works with mice, but that only proves it works with *mice.*

What, no one likes my idea of killing an maiming for population control?
Shik, you are focusing on a narrow part of what is going on. "Those" people do not have anything else to do, but eat and fuck, so they need to have other activities to keep them too tired to fuck. Have them push a heavy iron hoop with a flimsy stick 40 miles (~64.4km) everyday, they can eat and sleep when they get back. Have men go one direction and women go another, so no breaks can be spent fucking.

I throughly enjoy Ritten's anti-fucking plan, give those starving Africans some elbow grease dammit!
But letting them die is far too inhumane to even be an option. Its in our nature to help those in need.
I also suspect that a slight racist undertone plays a critical role also (I'm not implying that you're a racist though Shik, so everyone put away your pitchforks and torches please ). Because honestly people, you can't say that if they were white that the Western world wouldn't react quicker?
Take for example the whole Bosnia incident; we reacted fairly quickly to the "ethnic cleansings" there but Rwanda was almost all but ignored. I think food supplies might work in the same fashion but I'm probably getting ahead of myself.

It is better than Ritten's Population Control Ver. 1.0, less expensive than a war in Iraq even.
Isn't B.J. a racist? He races those derby cars.
Bosnia is on the doorstep of our NATO interests, there for we had to do something to keep it from spilling over.
