Rich countries should / shouldn't help Poor countries

What do you think ?? and WHY ??

Ofcourse they should help poor countries, its part of their responsibility to the world. why not help the less fortunate? why not aid the world in becoming a better place? why not try to end world hunger?

^^... exactly... why not?

Would that mean that poor countries never try to improve themselves and try to be more better and depend on the help of rich countries ??!!

i think that the rich countries should help the poor countries but depending on thier situation ..

for example some poor countries just don't work .. thats why they r poor but others work but can't gain much and the rich shouldn't ALWAYS help the poor when they come in need of them cause then they might take advantage they have to study the situation first :D

yeah they should help them then everyone will be the equal of the other though sometime some ocuntry dont want they just to grow by themself and without help.

Hundreds of billions are spent annually on military & war

That much money can save thousands of lives & shelter millions

Its a matter of I give now, & I will take later. This is how the rich countires look at the poor ones, in case if they want to help!

They should, but that's not the way the world works.

of course they should .. however as prophet mohammed said: if each person in this world gave ZAKKA there wont be any poverty ......

i think they definetly should !! poor kids are dieing of hunger in africa , it aint thier fault !

"Poor Countries should not exist, only a fool wants to be indepedent with weak economical resources" --[x]..

^^ What do u mean?

Countries should first help their own poor ppl, before helping out other countries.

Poor countries like poor ppl, should get help.

well, they poorer should get aid, but how much aid is the question, and when is just too much....it's like your helping a poor person, and you help and help and help, till they reach a certain point, but they are so dependent on you, that they just don't know how to move on to the next level without your help, am i making an sense here??

ofcourse they should!!

i mean..it's not their fault they have 1 billion mouths to feed with no enough land to use??

it's not their fault some powerful country drained their sources (IRAQ now) in the past and left them with a Famine to deal with?

just coz u were born with an oil spoon in your mouth (GCC)..

that doesn't mean it's not your Responsibility to help the poor!!

it's ur DUTY!! :cool:

I listened to the same thing on the radio the other day I think :P

anyway, ofcourse they should aid each other. we should be one country as a whole to begin with. if your brother was in need of help, you'ld help. but not that much that he'ld always depend on you. same thing goes here, if we don't help, who will help us in our time of need.

Rich countries should help poor countries.

You never know when the rich countries will need help as well ;)

Its a matter of I give now, & I will take later. This is how the rich countires look at the poor ones, in case if they want to help!

I think you are totally right, even more... some countries do help in a limit just to show an image of a kind helper country in fornt of the world and that it care about other which would give it a credit for other reasons :bored:

Countries should first help their own poor ppl, before helping out other countries.

They never do this , they just do it to other countries to show !

it's all about politics and appearance :os

Rich countries should / shouldn't help Poor countries

What do you think ?? and WHY ??

Charity begins at Home :)

it's all about politics and appearance :os

Sadlly it's for almost all !

should help the poor countries

I'm not so sure they should. Every country has certain resources it can use to better its economy, they should learn to use them. Richer countries can help them here and there, maybe out of really tough spots but they should not be having to give to them always. That just enables the poorer country to be dependent and never work on its own to boost itself.

What poorer countries need is strong minds that can work to regulate its resources.

I think debt interest should be eliminated definitely from poor countries. That's the way rich countries can really help poor countries. What's the point of loaning the poor countries money, when whenever they invest it into anything and turn a profit, all of it goes to paying off the interest? It just ends up making things worse.

Man oh man. Man...oh...man.

I dont know where to start :(

Give this a thought: could you say you're helping a poor country by NOT engaging in a particular activity?


:hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

OH and fatamo, thats something thats extremely relevant...good thing you brought it up!

This a way of helping them not only as a help, but also it might give them a space to improve themselves and develop their resource to be better and won't need to help in future .. unless of course in the desasteries which every country ( rich/poor ) would need help.

This debt interest never made sense to me. Eliminating it would be breaking the poverty cycle they're in now. They would be able to start all over again, and I think starting with zero money that's much better than being perpetually in debt.

I think it should be clear for all countries that it is all God's land and stays in place. Only people do change. Sure God created earth full of food for all creatures on its surface. The only thing that this food is distributed among different places so that the empty place should call for the extras of the full one. That is how people get to contact and interact to build this land.

Not all earth is forest or desert. The food for the desert should be available in the forest. There is a famous Hadeeth of Prophet Mohammad Peace Be Upon Him, that concludes that Allah did creat the enough money for everyone, it is only that the share of the poor is existing in the rich's custody…how far you find a poor man, sure that will be because of a rich man who doesn't want to give the poor man his share! [as the meaning of the Hadeeth not the exact words].

So that is the nature, even the reason that wind that we enjoy and use do happen only because the difference between high and low air pressure in different places, so the high pressure location disposes air to the low one, that is how wind is created.

Again if we look closely to every single detail in this life, we will find this very truth among its elements. That is why also water fills all empty vessels to the same level "Archimedes Theory".

IT is distributed in that way ..poor & rich so the test do occur and the quality of people do come to real test.

If someone thinks that he owns something then sure he should think again. No one who is owned by eath (grave) should claim a property. No one even can take anything with him to his wish. We leave it all to whom God do decide.

And if we look into history we will find that never was that rich or poor country all the way back to the end. Europe was dull in an era of time, so was Gulf Countries. Thought countries which are considered developing with big population and low resources were at an era of time the source of all the wealth *that is why it was filled with people who settled there for the availability of food and water*…etc. So was America before the British people did sttle there. It was considered wild and uncivilized. Just four hundred years ago (Nothing to be counted in the long history of humanity).

I hope I made my point clear! :)
