I Have No Idea What Section This Should Be In

But watching ITV News from Kabul and seeing children queuing for a bowl,of rice from an Afghan charity ,breaks my heart and yet……
The interviewer was taken to a dirty shack where one of the children lived, in there was two younger sister around 3&5 + a 10 week old baby , why oh why carry on having babies in such atrocious conditions ?

Naomi I seem to recall you writing on here some time ago that MSF were the best charity to support for this type of aid needed.

LB , on the clip last night it said the children were lining up once a day for a small bowl of rice which was provided by a charity

Haven't the poor always produced as many children as possible?...whether in war torn countries or in more settled but economically impoverished communities...if only to ensure they had care and possibly shelter in old age? It was not for governments to supply such things, but family. And if half of the offspring produced didn't survive, there would still be a few that did. I'm sure this still exists and is why so many women and children still suffer.

LB, that and the Red Cross I would say are the best.

Bobbi, something one of my Jewish friends said might give you an idea (bearing in mind that the tenets of Islam in this regard closely resemble those of Judaism). Having been married for 30 plus years she told me that in all that time, regardless of how she was feeling, she had never once refused her husband. That's the mindset you're dealing with.

[ladybirder]

Oh Yes, the Red Cross of course. Thank you.

I agree Naomi , I’ve watched and read many things on Judaism and is quite akin to that of the Muslim teachings especially in the Orthodox communities which we have a very large one here so seeing the girls in their wigs when they marry is quite commonplace here, and the man is regarded as the lawmaker , it’s not uncommon for these people to have 10-12 children , although even in Israel they don’t appear to be so impoverished as these poor Afghanis

My friend, descended from Dutch Jews, was born here, bobbi. Highly educated, very fashionable, a great hostess, but nevertheless she adheres to those values. What hope the rest?

[Bobbisox1]

Yes indeed Naomi

Because of evolution.
Humans (and all other specious on earth) will risk even death to have sex (Black widow spider....)
