I'm an asshole, and I'm proud of it.

People in war ravaged countries aren't starving because they continue to have children in spite of their present conditions, they're starving because the children ALREADY EXISTED before the latest war/famine started. It is the biggest bunch of BS when people say that the problem comes from having too many kids.
Sure. Even without wars, Somalia is overpopulated. The famine exists because the land isn't arable with their prehistoric techniques and arguable not even with the modern techniques like field rotation which they have judiciously decided to ignore despite it being common knowledge in the civilized world.
Ergo, you have famine. The famine exists because the population is too great for the land to support it. This problem didn't appear overnight.
If _you_ have a time machine and see that your job is going to be destroyed in a civil war in 7 years you can choose not to have a child, but people without the time machine can't retroactivly not have kids once the unforseen political/economic disaster happens.
Okay. So, Somalia has been starving for at least 15 years that I can remember. How about the three year olds?
No one ever said that Darwin was pretty.
To summarize: you are being an asshole, and don't understand what you're talking about.
Must be nice to be 16 years old. The World Is A Special And Wonderful Place. My Parents Are Wrong For Telling Me The I Need To Do My Calculus Homework, Because I'm Going To Be An NBA-Champion Basketball Player, Home-Boy Rap "Artist" And Anime Cartoonist And I'll Fix All The Broken People In Somalia By Hosting Infomercials About The Problem!
Next you're gonna tell me to feel sorry for the people of Bangladesh... yuppers, there's a good place for your future charity to rebuild. The whole country is no more than about 30 feet about sea level, built on the mouth of the mighty and oh-so-beautiful Ganges River. (What's the Ganges River? Two words: India's Sewer.) Why don't you see too many anthills on the beach? Well, the tide comes in every so often...
Nature is ugly. This is just nature taking its course. Grow up.
