So we want to reduce poverty and disease and at the same time reduce the burden we put on earth's resources?
Unpossible.....

All while inducing a guilt trip though the people who watched the video, as if I can control the population of third world countries, prevent people from having unprotected sex, and stop alleged environmental damage...

I'm actually for HIV/AIDS and other diseases. I believe it's necessary in reducing the world's human population to a safer amount

Nice background music, but the material was crap. What can I do? Seems like the UN have decided for me, and they want to do it! I don't, and they do, so let them, and leave me out. I can't do anything, and the UN won't. "We're going to pass a resolution to resolve the resolution that resolved the problem. Wait, what was the problem?"

Here's the message. I'll make some billboards to be shipped to the third world (assuming they can read it):

A) Stop having it off with everyone. Less mouths to feed.
B) Diagram of how to fish. You know, give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach him how to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.
C) I won't help you, and the UN is incapable of helping you. Learn and it'll be fine.

To tell you all the truth, I am sick of being shown all these "facts" about the rest of the world. I have enough problems in my life without worrying about somewhere elses.

Troll my ass... the video shows a pipe pouring completely unknown contents into an unknown body of water, and simply says that there was about $4000 of environmental damage done in that 10 seconds.

What the hell defines environmental damage? What is the scale for putting a price tag on it? Is is the cost to cause that damage? Is it the cost to clean it up? Is it the cost of raw materials that are destroyed? The numbers and estimates they give make NO sense because they make no relation as to what they mean.

The video is nothing but a guilt trip because it gives me no aim.
-It doesn't tell me WHAT I can do about it.
-It doesn't tell me WHO is doing these things.
-It doesn't tell me WHERE these figures come from.
-It doesn't tell me HOW this data was collected.
-It doesn't tell me WHY many of these things are so bad, instead, expects you to assume that if it's not a baby being born, it's gotta be bad.


So while you are busy relishing in your forum cliches (i.e. "DIAF"), maybe you can indulge in understanding the reason of questioning the media presented to you rather than assuming that everything you see and hear is not only valid and important, but has a clear message with no loose ends. Media will often use facts and figures that seem important but in reality are hard to follow and misleading to gain the support of the masses. This video is no exception.

I am glad I didn't really hold my breath. Now I know those people are all OK. If we all breath, the world will be a better place.

What would he learn exactly? That the world isn't all lollipops and rainbows? We know this.

If everyone on earth lived in a fvcking teepee, walked to work, ate only vegetables, had no electricity, took water from a community well, blah, blah, blah............there would still only barely enough resources to support everone to the point of having water, shelter and food.

Are you willing to live like that for the good of mankind?

Well, that threw me for a loop. I was afraid to click the link, 'cause I KNOW what happens in 10 seconds. Now I find you've all gone P&N.
