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 ?

Bobbi; it's what happens when people love each other but have no contraception.

[Bobbisox1]

You mean the man ( because his word is law) knows that those children could starve?

[Stickybottle]

Not sure love comes into the equation every time

More like base needs and urges combined with a lack of contraception

[Bobbisox1]

Sadly education has no place for the women in that society to learn of such things

More down to the religion
Education is worthless when Sharia makes the female subservient
Allah akbar !

Unfortunately the women have no say in what the men want to do and when they want to do it ; let alone object to the lack of contraception

Sticky... I think that referring to sex as 'base needs and urges' is a bit harsh. It's a real need for most humans, a bit like the need for food.

They are so desperate that some are even selling their children.

[Bobbisox1]

So sad seeing those little kids starving and picking off dumps, the lady was asked where her husband was , her reply was “He’s disabled”

[andres]

All the more heartbreaking bobbi, is when asked what they wanted to do when older. The answers were----footballers, pilots, doctors, engineers. At this moment in time they don't stand a chance. Poor little beggars.

[Bobbisox1]

It really upset me Andres , such high hopes yet such a desperate situation

So when there are 12-13 children to be fed they are still risking it out of love ?
Righto !

[Stickybottle]

Maybe if the menfolk spent more time trying to stave off the Taliban last year instead of continually fornicating like ferrets they might have found themselves in a better position ?

Yet again the western world will pay for the pending humanitarian disaster whilst oil rich nations of the same faith stand by and laugh

Sticky, we evolved to reproduce, and that involves certain primary urges such as eating and having sex. It's a basic fact of human existence and not something that can be simply stopped for lack of money. Most western 'advanced' countries are full of overweight people who can't turn off the eating urge, even though they are costing themselves and society a fortune and much misery by their behaviour.
Thanks to science, people can enjoy lots of sex without the inconvenience of reproduction.
They also often have state benefits which mean they don't need to reproduce to provide help in their old age.
Poorer countries don't have those luxuries.

[Stickybottle]

But you said it was about love not sex ?
How irresponsible to have multiple children with no chance of feeding them ?
Afghanistan is only just beyond stone age anyway
The west tried to help drag them into the 21st century but those in charge chose corruption instead
That is why Biden decided it was not worth one more American life
It is not worth one more Brit squaddies life either
Better off out of it

nope they had education for 20y - paid for mainly by the Americans - and were clearly told that if the Taliban came back, they would starve
and.....
they chose the Taliban....their bad

[Bobbisox1]

And the children are left to suffer , in a ideal world take as many as we can from birth to 09 and look after them but I know that’s not at all practical , it’s a dream

[Bazile]

Bobbisox1
Do you give to any of those charities on the box ;regularly requesting donations ?

[Peter Pedant]

The taliban apparently thought if they took power,
the money taps would NOT be turned off

and it would be THEIR turn to feed at the trough

[otherwise they sell opium see]

The children didn’t chose !
