    Default Causes of world poverty

    http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Poverty.asp

    Some facts from the link:

    * Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.
    * The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world’s countries) is less than the wealth of the world’s three 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).

    Zigzaggery.
    It is not the responsibility of a defender to leave the objective unguarded just so his opponent sucks less.

    The main cause is certain peoples having children when they cant support them. Even animals slow down their reproductive rate if things are dire.

    The thing with slaves is they need a good whipping once in a while to keep them on the straight and narrow.

    Pffft ... well .. tell her to pick up her blerry underwear and wash the freaking dishes.
    P.S. You should perhaps stop wearing her underwear ... you're gonna stretch them.
