Actually Doesnt play well...id suggest you pay your taxes as you have no choice in the matter,very much like the rest of us.
The uk tax payer pays into a pot...they take the help when needed (have you claimed...it aint easy),unlike others in the world who expect millions if not billions yet the situation never gets better.

Oh and im well aware of big families....my wife is filipino after all.

I have no intention of claiming for anything, especially not children, as I won't consider having any until I can afford to do so

The people who receive aid don't expect or demand it... unlike those who claim for every last penny here.

But that's my point...why do these poor countries insist on doing so...id love 10 kids,i know that we couldn't afford it,so we have stopped with just the twins.

Ebola will effect us soon enough...and we should be looking out for ourselves,do we really need to support places like India and the African countries,seeing as they have money to send rockets into space and the latter has had billions donated and the situation hasn't changed has it.

We need to be selfish and look after our own and then once were all on a level with each other,only then we should be looking at helping others with what we have spare.

Without education and birth control(s) it is human nature to reproduce. Apart from what else "fun" is there to do when you are dirt poor, it actually makes sense to have a large family. With mortality rates being high compared to Western countries( with healthcare so good we are all going to live forever) you need to keep reproducing to make sure some get to adulthood and can then look after you if you make older age. The trick is the transition from one to the other. This is one area that "aid" works on. The Chinese managed it. In fact they managed it rather too well making Europe look profilate.

Yes agree with you about education...but would you not agree 20/30/yrs of education and millions of £££ being thrown at them has made no difference and that's merely in my life time and im only 41yrs old.

As for birth control..thats why God gave us Bottoms or the withdraw method (works for porn stars  ).

Appreciate how a large family works...but these people simply don't have the resources to keep having kids,yes its not fair,but life isn't fair.

I don't know why they have to starve in African countries when half of Eastern Europe is empty...maybe the Aid we send could simply buy plane tickets and world starvation sorted...Christ im a genius.

Breeding like rabbits is a defence mechanism, not for the hell of it...
As sanitation improves, infant life mortality rates improve which in turn needs a change of behaviour...

This is why your grand parents and their parents were from large families, and why now most people only have one or two kids instead of seven or eight.

Sorry but don't agree...its child abuse pure and simple.

These people are dying due to lack of food and water...yet they knowingly bring children into this world who they know will either die very young or at very best suffer.

So how much have you sent....me ive sent nothing as i dont see them as a worthy cause,blunt but just honest

Why try and help those you dont help themselves...same as this ebola business,look after no.1.

Using that argument why should I/we/us pay taxes which are used to pay child support prop up the NHS/Welfare State?

For example, if I said to you that I thought that everyone north of Watford was a sub species of creature and therefore not worthy of water, electricity, food or medical aid, let alone cash, then I suspect you would all kick off.

I don't agree with the welfare state (at least the way that it is abused by those with an air of entitlement), but that doesn't stop me from paying my tax and national insurance. This is simply being socially responsible. As a responsible, civilised nation we have a duty of care, not only for ourselves, but to everyone/thing else on the planet... Foreign aid is a small price to pay for being a wealthy, developed country, and without charities, foreign aid spending would be far, far higher.

And before I get accused of being a wishy washy peace loving liberal vegetablist, I sniff petrol, eat raw meat and drink beer as often as any other redneck male.

Apologies for going off on one, but it does grate somewhat.

I bet you wear socks with your sandals don't you................

No Jesus creepers here Vamps...

But if there were, they would contain Bart Simpson socks

Another case in America today.

[The Sheriff]

Which is a bad thing.....for the patient, but maybe a good thing with regards to making people take note and get on top of it (Spend money).

[Stuart30]

Another case in America today.

Its returned home then...and I thought pigeons were clever.

SHOCK  !  HORROR  !  OH NO  !

There's a possibility that the ebola thing will cause a chocolate shortage !  !

[Sir Tigger KC]

I've seen a few conspiracy theories about ebola starting to do the rounds suggesting that it's all a massive con and ebola dosn't exist. 

Now I don't believe that for a moment, but one thing that has struck me a little strange is that it hasn't spread beyond Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea in the neighbouring countries or other African countries.    There is a lot of trade and travel going on across the continent as believe it or not they're not all living in mud huts and you'd think that the odd case might have cropped up in places like South Africa or Kenya. 

Think of all the Indians and Chinese travelling around yet we havn't heard of a case of ebola cropping up in Mumbai or Shanghai?  The only cases outside of West Africa have been in Europe and the US.    Strange?
