- If anyone has any more material like this, I would be very interested in seeing it.

- It is a disgrace that so many people go hungry, and it just makes it all seem worse when billions are spent on weapons. African leaders have got much to answer for when so many people in their country is starving. Take Grace Mugabe, for instance, shopping 'till she drops' in France and back home there is no food. I hope the Chinese ship with weapons falls off the earth, they should rather have brought food to Zimbabwe.

- "-Half the world -- nearly three billion people -- live on less than two dollars a day.
-The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the world's 7 richest people combined.
-Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
-Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen.
-1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day)."
painfully accepted and ignored. think one person could make a difference? wanna join me? that would make two, ..maybe then something could be done. - "-Half the world -- nearly three billion people -- live on less than two dollars a day.

- i believe that these plain facts really open up peoples eyes. I do not understand though why the majority of people refuse to take action?

- From the page: "Poverty is the state for the majority of the world's people and nations. Why is this?"

- This is an excellent site. It is well researched. Each bullet points makes its case. Especially the one in which if we only spent 1 percent of the amount we spend on weapons on children instead, we would be able to send them all to school

- "We often hear leaders from rich countries telling poor countries that aid and loans will only be given when they show they are stamping out corruption. While that definitely needs to happen, the rich countries themselves are often active in the largest forms of corruption in those poor countries, and many economic policies they prescribe have exacerbated the problem. Corruption in developing countries definitely must be high on the priority lists, but so too must it be on the priority lists of rich countries."

- doubleas2380: " Causes of poverty: Lazy slobs who wont go get a job and choose to live on welfare. Fuck this site." What? I can't even believe I just read that! The vast majorities of countries in this world don't have any kind of welfare system. But thanks for flaunting your ignorance; I needed that laugh.
