Aid

So lets have serious-faceness for once. That's right, put down all those bongs and alcopops and syringes filled with speedecstasymarijuannacocaineheroineLSDalcoholtobaccomorphine that all them teenagers are using these days. Lets talk about aid. Not AIDs - the pleasantries of that topic will have to be saved for a rainy day- but aid, and how we as the more developed country give aid to those who are less privileged. This shit has to stop. You can call me a heartless arsehole if you want, but giving aid to thsoe in need really needs to stop happening. Sure, to those who were affected by natural disasters, where there are really no other alternatives, aid is alright- not the perfect solution, but at least it gives some help. On the other hand, giving aid to countries who have been in a rut for who knows how long really needs to stop.

"but james," exclaims a random person on the street who I imagine to have a bogan accent, wearing thongs and board shorts and a dirty singlet "THINK OF THE CHILDREN IN AFRICA."

Well my strangely stalkerish but good-at-chiming bogan friend, when I think of African children I tend to laugh because I have a bowl of rice and they don't. Well...not really, but that's the real kind of attitude that we as a developed country are adopting. Oh we'll spare the African children a grain of rice or two from our giant bowl of rice, but we'll never teach them how to grow the rice so that they too can have a bowl of rice like us...we'll just laugh at them when they try to learn. It really is a slap to the face to those African kids. If I were an African kid, I probably would hate the fuck out of the U.S., the U.K. all those European superpowers and even good old Australia. I mean, we (Africans) have perfectly good resources...our continent alone has a plethora of natural resources, and we are all able to be trained to perform the same tasks that our counterparts living in privileged countries can perform. But instead of teaching us...you're just randomly throwing bundles of green paper/plastic at us. FUCK I DONT EVEN LIKE THE COLOUR GREEN. BITCH I PREFER BLUE OR YELLOW. 

What charities should be doing isn't going around with some stalkerpic of a child in Africa who is starving. Leave the poor kid alone, stop exploiting his image to try and extort money out of people feeling guilty. They should be trying to form companies in Africa to create trade partnerships between companies in the developing countries with companies in developed countries. That way, the developed country benefits by getting more resources, and the developign countries benefit because for once they'll actually have a leg to stand on to try and raise themselves upwards. 

If we really are the 'compassionate humans' that we constantly call ourselves, we really need to stop all this 'yeah just peddle off some five cent coins to them, then they'll be happy' business. Unfortunatley this won't happen.

1. Rich people like to stay rich. Simple as that. Therefore rich countries also like to stay rich.

2. The idea of giving 'aid' is a more marketable idea. Giving aid is nice and easy. As soon as you've donated, it's out of your mind. If someone came up to you, you being some CEO of a bigtime company, and was all like 'hey man we should like form a partnership with a poorer company based in a country no one's ever heard of. we could be like the dynamic duo man, just us and them. we could change the wooooorllld.', you'd first of all tell them that the hippies era ended 30 years ago or something, and that second if its not gonna make our company money then u might as well be trying to tell me to eat donkey shit cause its not going to happen.

3.Corruption in the developing countries. If a company does actually manage to start up a business - then the paranoid Robert Mugarbes out there are gonna start being paranoid, and cripple that company.

Hahaha holy shit if it was this easy to write an English essay, then i'd probably be pulling drafts out of my asshole every single day - sadly i really dont give a shit about the English modules....If you did manage to read ALL of this then you deserve a prize. In your shoes, I'd probably have switched off a long time ago, so bravo. 

NOW STOP FUCKEN PROCRASTINATING. YOU MIGHT THINK I'M JOKING. BUT IM NOT.
