that comment does not make any sense
Belly,
Well, it does to the people I speak with & they all agree that the major component of the left is Labor/socialist/Democrat/Academic affiliated.

indy are you aware some here are very close to being right of reality haters
Without other opinions being seen and heard the extreme right may take over these pages
I refuse to believe you truly think Labor is that far left
If I did believe it would force me to think you are from that right of reality group

CM,

Africa is as big as four Australias. Much of it is lush, and could be highly productive. Its population is half as dense (i.e. people/sq. km) as Europe's. But while many of its productive capacity is limited by inefficient technology and a shortfall in utility provision (water management, electricity, etc.) of course it will remain poor. Corruption throughout their political systems doesn't help either. A multitude of languages also impedes communication and administration.

In other words, there are many factors affecting Africa (and other 'developing countries') besides the rather pissy one of 'over-population'. If African countries could address these issues and overcome some of the problems, it could be the boom continent of the 22nd century. Our great-grandchildren could be choosing to migrate to Africa by 2150 and inter-marrying there.

Loudmouth, there is a lot of positivity in your comment about Africa and it's possibilities.
I wonder though, given that you have outlined some of the pitfalls keeping Africa back, why is it, that they did not progress and rise to some higher form of self sufficiency?
If I were in a position of hunger and poverty as many are, I have seen ways of reducing these factors, with the simple resources available in their immediate surroundings.
I do not understand with such a large country and water must be available or they would be dead by now, then why have they not picked up a stick and made some furrows in the sand, drop in some seeds, which would have been saved from some previous food/vegetables, and tried to grow their own food.
The weather is amiable in most of Africa, and if it is not, in that particular location, then at least use the lands that would make it possible to grow food .
But surely a country so big as to cover ALL the climate zones has enough fertile land to choose from, that it can grow enough food to feed themselves and more.
I would like to know what political forces are holding these people back, and why?

Dear Belly,

Yes, I understand your views. I may not always agree, but I do understand them.

«Think we share a basic, every human should be fed housed have health care and education, and equality»

This noble thought comes from the heart.
In Yogic terms this is the fourth (anahata) chakra.

This is good because most commonly, people's thoughts are lower, motivated from inside their pants, so to speak: fear-for-survival from the first chakra in the rectal area; desire for pleasure from the second chakra in the genital area; and desire for control/power from the third chakra near the navel.

However, the fourth chakra is not the highest, there are three chakras above it: the fifth chakra around the throat area adds creativity and ingenuity to the often-naive pink energy of the fourth chakra, then the sixth chakra between the eyes (the "third eye") adds insight and wisdom. The seventh chakra in the top of our head then adds transcendence.

On the transcendent level we are indeed all equal, absolutely so, but on that level we also have no need for food, shelter, health or education.

On the level of the third eye we come to see people's previous incarnations, thus understand why they suffer unequally in this lifetime.

So let us for now attempt to raise our thoughts from the fourth to the fifth level, trying to find creative and ingenious solutions to help reduce human suffering. To do this it may actually help to mentally shift your attention from your heart area to your throat area.

It seems cruel to refuse help, but sometimes it is the more compassionate option. When those who operate from their second chakra and think from their genitals, learn that their offspring will be guaranteed not to go hungry or homeless and receive free health-care and education, they say "come to bed, Uncle Kangaroo will foot the bill". When most people do so, Uncle Kangaroo becomes very lean and starts eating the minority who think above their genitals. How fair is that?

[...continued]

So to make it fair and compassionate, government should announce: anyone born after 9 months from today (with exceptions for longer pregnancies for those already conceived) will not receive any benefits. No maternity leave, no housing help, no free health or education. Those conceived earlier will continue to receive the above.

«Now are we humans being hood winked?»

Yes.

«Why can world powers and the UN end wars? why not fed house and educate all
Is there a dark reason for the very real mess this world is in?»

Yes, while ordinary people are not discouraged from operating from their second chakra, the leadership operate from their third chakra, seeking power.

No compassion from their fourth (heart) chakra.
No ingenuity from their fifth chakra.
No wisdom from their sixth chakra.
Without transcendence from their seventh chakra, they remain selfish.

«One day eitherby war or contructed long term plans ,someone will offer one world government
People as the old slogan tellsus,will call it freedom»

False hopes, Belly, because world government would still operate from their third chakras.

«The divisions God and fear of difference brings may be a toy we are given to ensure we do not demand better from our leaders while they plan something evil»

People who operate from their first and second chakras are afraid to make demands on such leaders that operate from their third chakras, lest they be asked to raise their own level, and those who operate from their fourth chakra are too few in between.

«We without change are nolonger in chargeof our destiny»

Indeed, and change is not easy, it takes sacrifices, we need to conquer our lower nature.
