| Richer Countries Should Aid Poorer Countries |
| We should start helping other countries who are in need and who are less fortunate. Canada, USA, and parts of Europe should help the developing countries around the world. How do you feel about this??? |

I agree with this, an economic and material help can be useful to the poor countries which are
victims of the famine and sickness but It's a short-term solution. In fact, the rich countries
should help the poorer countries but it's an utopian idea to imagine our money never will be
affected by political corruptions. Moreover, It's a paradoxical action to help them because the
economic and political system impoverish these nations. I think the best solution is to change the
exchange beetwen wealthy and needy countries, we can't continue to live in this system when so many
people die because we have created inequalities. Actually, a lot of people answer yes to this poll
but they will never do anything especially to solve the problems except listening to Bono speeches
and music. It's simply to have a clear conscience. |

It's usually in our best interest to aid less fortunate countries. Form ties, make allies, gain
resources. We are taking when we give. |

We are for helping poor countries.
First of all, it's unfair that rich people should live in decent conditions whereas poorer ones are
needy. Indeed, they didn't choose to be given birth in a poor country and they can't go away.
A further reason is that we can't live as if nothing bad happened in the world. It's our duty to
help them. Don't the government's feel guilty to exploit resources and populations of poor countries
?
Then, rich countries should stop sending money to governments as they send cards : Send it to poor
families instead because in most cases governments keep money to buy weapons.
Moreover, if there were fewer weapons and fewer needy people, there would be fewer wars and
conflicts.
Now we will let you think about it ! |

We are for it !
First because rich countries, like the USA, can give money to poor countries, and it's more
intelligent than spend it for receptions. In fact this money can be used to build shools or
hospitals: That way fewer people will be ill or illiterate, and the building of schools will lead to
the development of countries and thanks to the children's education, jobs will be created.
Furthermore, by helping poor countries, rich countries show solidarity and they make needy
people's dreams come true because their living conditions improve . All these consequences will
make the world a better place, full of equality and fraternity.
Finally, we should not forget that we are really lucky to be born in the good side of the world.
In fact, if we were Africans, we would like people to help us.
In conclusion, we think that rich countries should help poorer countries. |

We are for it : We think rich countries should help poorer countries.
First of all, we can help them for humanitarian reasons. In Fact, the harsh realities of some
countries affected us and our duty is to help those who are not as lucky as we are. For instance,
one out of seven people do not have access to clean water for drinking, cooking or washing...
Whereas we, we tend to waste the water. What’s more, we have the chance to live in a rich country
where we can be treated fairly.
Secondly, we can help poorer countries for political reasons because it’s a way to control and
influence these countries. In Fact, in this way, they depend on us. So, our country stretches its
influence in the world, as is the case of the USA. And it makes our country worthwhile.
Finally, we can help the poorer countries for economic reasons. It’s a good way to import or
export goods more easily. For example they can import products which are rare in our country. This
facilitates the exchanges between countries and above all this consolidates our economy.
Ultimately, helping poorer countries consolidates rich countries, like France, by helping to develop
poorer nations. |

I agree with this! Some people think that we should just look out for ourselves but isn't that a
bit selfish? There are people who are worse off then ourselves .. Yes as a country we have our own
problems to deal with... But we should also Aid the poorer countries.. The problems wouldn't be
solved but we can say that we helped in some way or another! |

I am for it but look at the world around you but they already do. |

I'm for it........ BUT we need to make sure that the money doesn't go on missiles, limo's, whores
and into corrupt people offshore accounts as is generally the case most of the time. |

Of course wealthy countries should offer aid to poorer ones. In most cases, the countries that are
now wealthy, through their colonial empires, played a part in messing up developing countries in the
first place, drawing artificial border lines, for example, which did not correspond with the natural
contours of areas controlled by different groups within the countries. This often means that the
countries are now plagued interminably by civil wars as various factions vie for control of the
unnatural nation state.
Ultimately, it's in our own self-interest to help poorer countries. If we can help kick-start their
economies, they will in the end provide markets for our products and their people will stop trying
to illegally emigrate to the West in search of a better life. |

I believe that the richer countries should help the poorer countries. However, the richer countries
have to be able to help themselves before they can help others. There are people who suffer in the
richer countries and they should be taken care of first. Once richer countries are able to
successfully help themselves, then they can go help the poorer countries. However, I believe that it
is wrong for the poorer countries to fully depend on the richer countries. Because one helps the
other does not mean that they are obligated to support them forever. Richer countries need to help
poorer countries to help themselves. |

So long as helping the developing countries helps us in return, I have no problem with it. Where I
do have a problem with it is when these countries expect us to bail them out of their problems and
get mad when we don't pony up cash for whatever they want.
The United States got to be a rich country by watching out for it's own self-interest, we're not
going to remain one by being the world's ATM. |

It is a philanthropic right to help others. It is not required by anything. We as people, I think,
should do this as a means to our own happiness. I am glad when I give and know that a young kid or
even adult will be somehow better off by my gift. That is what we as humans should do, but are not
required to do.
Governments should never 'aid' foreign countries. This has never worked in the past and it will
never work. (You never said governments in the title and that is why I was for providing aid.
Sorry if I misinterpreted.) Countries that provide aid only do so by taking from its citizens.
There is not always justice in equality; there is always justice in treating people equally. Aid to
other countries from 'rich' countries is just another form of socialism. |

NO! We should only look out for ourselves! America's economy is in crisis right now because we give
too much money away. We should be as selfish as possible and keep all our money!
And what do you mean by "countries"? Are you saying the gov't should give them money? Individual
citizens are free to give their money to whoever they want, but the gov't shouldn't take our tax
money and give it to other countries that might not use it properly. That's like a forced donation
to foreign corruption. |

While that might help some, it would create to many problems. What is defined as a "Rich country"?
And how much help should one country give to another? Should America help a place like Kenya or
Ireland? People would complain about it |
