No profit...why does everyone not see that money is invested where a profit is perceived to be had?

Looks like the Senate bill is passing tonight.

Lack of basic nutrition worldwide, potable water, roads, rail, communications, electricity are all signs of global depression

If that's the sign of a global depression then we've been in one throughout human history.

This is the crap that I just don't understand. I love how they weren't expelled.

Thrid world countries have ibeen in the shape they are in going back to when England, France and Spain were the global powers, and one of the reasons is these powers dominated the areas, and sucked as mucg natural resources and wealth from the areas as they could manage.

Building these things in areas wehere 72 ships have been attacked in a year not yet done, people routinely are dragged out fo their huts and have their extremeties hacked off in the village for all to see, and such tend to discourage investment capital.

Countries where children are perceived as a means of generating income and thus the population goes through the roof, discourage any increase in the quality of life. Incidently it also increases child mortality immensely.

More education, primarily to the women of the "world" has proven to decrease population problems. It's been proven that ecucation, smaller families and income are all tied together.

A nice side effect of better education is hopefully women are treated more equally, which has a long way to go in the third world.

I don't see how this is all the U.S's fault. It's all been in place before the U.S. officially existed. But I'm guessing it's our responsibility to fix it all, while at the same time not offending anyone globally by butting into their business and not minding our own.

I'm the first to concede we've made some really stupid blunders abroad, but I refuse to take responsibilty for the entire planet. Hell, I'm all for starting right here in my own county. Fix your own backyards first.

Edit: Just reread this and there's too many typos to fix, apologies.

Heard about the Dark Ages Chris?

Yes. It refers to Europe in the centuries following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It wasn't global.
