[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I own sending my kids to an economically diverse school, where my contributions make a difference. I also own not being a pathetic parasite working for the world Bank, an organization predicated on the idea that it can "end" poverty, while being afraid of poor people.

And I am so glad your poison is not something my children have to deal with

I'm new to this thread, and I'm sure I'll regret my presence shortly.

The poster commenting left and right about the World Bank's incompetence seems misguided, at best. The WBG is far from perfect, but it has achieved far more in terms of poverty alleviation that just about every other organization. Given that it and the rest of the UN are basically organizations designed to ameliorate rich country guilt without actually having the donors get their hands dirty directly, that's a remarkable achievement. The posters blanket generalizations, spoken as if from a point of authority are silly, again at best.

More to this point, the poster comments that a large multinational organization is "afraid of poor people." This comments is, presumably, made on the basis of an anonymous commenter saying he/she didn't want their child attempting to make friends based on manufactured proximity. I shutter to think of the poster's critical thinking skills given that he/she is so willing to malign a 8,000 person organization on the basis of one anonymous commenter. Comical, at best.

No, I do not and have never worked for the World Bank. I work for the federal government. [/quote]
