Yes as a matter of fact, I have been to the continent of Africa. It is a big continent with many different countries. There are usually only two economic classes of people in most of the countries. Those that have and those that do not. There is very little middle class. I have found that the poorest of the lot (people, not governments) have been the most charitable. Go figure. [/quote]

You are correct. I found the same. However they don't use the public's money to be irresponsible with and they appreciate the smallest gestures. They also don't have the," I'm poor so it's your job to take care of my every needs" mentality. They also value their children a whole lot more than those who get public assistance and find it more important to purchase a coach bag or buy alcohol, than  to make sure there is food in the fridge for the children. In Africa parents will go without meals but make sure their children always eat first if there is food.

You are making. Sweeping generalization about an continent full of people with many different countries, tribes, religions, cultures, languages, resources. There is no one standard that fits AFRICA. We aRe not taping about Ghana, Liberia, Congo, Ethiopia, senegal etc,    In many African countries there are drug problems. Have you heard of kat (sic) in Ethiopia and Eritrea. How about the cocaine addiction they are now having in the Gambia.

As far as receiving assistance from individual governments, no such assistance exist. NGO's are there to help because most of the governments do not or will not. The governments are for the financially well-off.  They don't value their children any more than any other mother value their children. Your statement is a bullshit statement. Btw. The poor don't have refrigerators. In regards to making sure the children eat first, again it depends on the culture and/or the country. Usually the father is fed first, then the eldest male child down to the youngest. [/quote]
