I've been avoiding this thread because I'm a realist. Eliminating poverty is a great dream..... but that's all it is, a dream.
yea, u keep telling yourself that-i know it helps u and many others get to sleep at night-but i'm here to tell u it's rude because it's dismissive and patronizing. most poverty is unnecessary and the sore of an indifferent society to human suffering-sometimes even when it's right in front of their faces!
oh, they're dirty-so they deserve their poverty, or oh, they're stupid and so deserve their poverty, they drink, they do drugs, they deserve it, etc. it is their own fault -not your concern-all better now-go to bed.
