C) Actually contributed to growth of poverty my artificially increasing the food supply in these nations. After the "charity fad" is over people who have grown defendant on the shipments start to starve. Very little is spent on actually improving the land or building agricultural schools so people can use the land better. No most of it is to toss a bit of grain or rice at someone and make someone at home feel good as they drop a single kid off to soccer practice in a massive SUV.

As for this? Its another cart before the horse thing. Have at it if you wish but doing things like saying "Ive been arrested bail me out by donating" Is a sick way to convince people to donate. Guess they have to give more of a damn for your ass then the baby eh?

Yes I guess I am heartless saying such stuff. Maybe its because I am sick of these thousands of charities having zip of a global impact while meaningful tech and health advancements stagnate because they arent directly "Feel good" enough.

You should start your own thread about how you feel about charities. Don't post any further in this one. Consider that official advice.
