why are we as humans so lazy and judgmental?
we are money hungry, we are selfish, we are rude and we are judgmental and lazy as human beings, we create technology to make uor own clothing and to have our food given to us. do we not know how to farm? do we not know how to knit? crochet? weave? macrame? lace? why is it that we as human have loads of talents, but we settle for the 9-5 desk jobs because it makes more money? why do we need thousands of dollars to live off of when as a human being we do not need any more than 800 for one person to live comfortably? people are starving in south africa but we spend tens of thousands of dollars to remodel our house so it look like a magazine. do we even care about others anymore? tell me as a civilized human being with a heart why? "our"? we have the richest people in the world that cannot even get off their buts and skip one glass of wine a day to donate it to a charity! do not say "our". your logic is flawed, we need very little clothing to live off of, ten outfits total, 5 shirts 5 pants/skirts/dresses. and mabie two hats and two pairs of shoes. with 5 pairs of socks and underwear. just to overcharge.

don't include me as we I'm not one of them I know how to knit and crochet but it's time consuming buying the yarns cost as much as buying the whole sweater might as well buy it from the stores. we have to work to make money to pay bills. we do care for others but our economy is in crisis we barely survive ourselves

you're generalizing humans here. There ARE people who do help others, especially those who can afford to such as the wealthier people, celebrities and people who make more money than a person needs in life. Giving is a priviledge. Not everyone can afford to give. There ARE a lot of hardworking people out there who often work their butts off most often for minimum wage only.There's NOTHING wrong with spending our money in whichever way we want if it makes us happy. We're the ones working for it. We're not all money hungry. Some of us know how to live life well and decently. But just so you know, everything equals money in this world even for survival. There's not much you can do without it. FYI: Giving does not make you a good person. Charity starts at home. Seems to me you're the one being judgemental here.

humans started being like that when people said being civilized was wearing clothing, speaking like a rich prick and using a fork and knife when eating being civilized imo is caring about the person next to you, not killing other people and caring about the environment, living in perfect harmony with it thats y we are efd up PS: "Jay" ppl like u don't understand the real problem, u cannot end poverty by just throwing money, thats always the problem and it will forever be a problem, giving and not giving someone money doesn't change a thing, thats been the problem with our govt in Australia with the Aborigines, people need to invest into something, give them an education, build hospitals, teach people some of the skills you have, that's why Chinese investment in 3rd countries is rising at a fast rate, the Chinese are doing what us first-world countries have failed to do, and thats building infrastructure for the poor, to let them grow. Its better to give someone a fishing rod and teach them to fish than to give them fish everyday and complain about how you've given them 365 fish for the past yr....

Giving the Africans money will not cause them to be prosperous or to get by even. Currently, there are nearly a billion people worldwide who are suffering from malnutrition and lack of food. The cost of feeding all of these people is staggering obviously. The problem is the governments of these countries plus there are environmental problems going on such as lower crop yields due to the warmer climates of today. If you want to blame someone blame the governments of these nations for not reaching out to others or for being greedy and screwing their people over. If there is a means to live larger and better then people should do it if they can. Sending money and food overseas isn't going to help things in the long run though.

Some people look for the jobs that give more money to help their family and friends. After all, they only want what's best for them. And I don't think it's wrong to buy expensive gifts to someone if it will make them happy. If you're looking for someone to blame for the millions of people in poverty, then the average worker should be the last on your list. Many of them, in this current financial crisis, only earn enough money to barely support themselves. You should be looking at the rich people who buy $100 million dollar houses and live excessively lavish lifestyles. The governments of the poor countries, as someone mentioned here earlier, are also to blame for being corrupt and incompetent.
