If I didn't have a trailer to tow behind me in order to get drinkable water, then I'd actually have no water to drink at all.

I guess the vehicle and the trailer knocks off some priviledge points for me.

But then again if I didn't have those I'd actually be dead due to dehydration.

I'm not them. I live in a developed world with different sets of issues and problems.

You also have to take into account their own perspective as well.

Granted, the struggle up there obviously isn't a picnic. But has anybody ever considered that africans have a little bit of a loose dress code?

And, that maybe some people are happy with what they have? To our eyes from a "civilized" standpoint we place pity on them because of their conditions. But from their own eyes their life might not be so shitty to them in comparison.

You're implying that Africans are human and worth caring about.

Spoiler alert: They're not.

I hate being dehydrated...
They have those cheap water filter straws, but I don't recommend filtering from a lake with the straws...

Seriously, though. It's like with the pilgrims and the "savages". Like, just cuz you think the only people who are are people are the people who look and think like you, doesn't make you right.

Those children have no idea how hard it is to live in the first world, with the tyranny of 3DPD around every corner.

This is called a fallacy of relative privation.

Honestly this whole thread was just sarcasm. I despise when people do this sort of thing, like what I posted in the OP.

What you call issues are probably just inconveniences. If you don't know death, poverty, working for nearly nothing, and wondering where your meal comes from (if any), then you need to sit down.

Why do they still fuck if they know they are breeding kids destined for suffering (although you can say that for any part of the world - Earth is fucked up) but c'mon third world - use condoms. Kill yourself.

A lot of their children die fairly early, and they need kids to help them work.

Bringing other people's attention to it doesn't really help solve the problem. I mean, I personally feel people take advantage of social injustices such as poverty, just to get on their high horse, and have a rant at everybody, and not have somebody call them out without looking like a jerk. It's literally just a like/upvote magnet.

Doing Volunteer work, and inviting other people to help out too, on the other hand, I have no issue with.
