    No i said that we should fix problems in our own country before doing so in others.
    So, when is our country fixed enough to help others?

    When everyone agrees we should go out of our way to prevent things like starvation and poverty...

    So we shouldn't do anything because some people don't do anything?

    I'm not ashamed to say that I'm more concerened about issues that affect me directly. Doesn't mean I ignore other issues just that I don't pay as much attention to them.

    It's very easy to forget about all the millions of Africans slowly starving to death or living in abject poverty, tbh.

    They're more important than some old bloke's pension.

    how does that imply it isnt everyones responsibility?

    Either we should be responsible for everyone and act that way or we shouldn't. Which is it?

    Thats fair enough. However, poverty in other countries does affect us.

    Just cause we are responsible for it doesnt mean people do anything about it.

    The way this country is, is many ways. All the little things. How it is run, all the social divides n all that. It all countributes to this "i dont give a shit about poeple starving to death".

    To me it's not.
    And that's exactly why 50+ deaths at the hands of terrorists in this country makes more news than 10 times that many deaths in Iraq.

    Out of sight, out of mind - it's just human nature.

    People who don't give a shit about starvation by saying, for example, "sort our problems out first", you mean?
