The quote above demonstrates why it's extremely difficult to change unjust social conditions. For every one person who believes that all should be treated equally, we have 30 or 40 who are opposed to that POV. We have to change the mindset behind the problem of poverty first, before attempting to work towards a solution.

No it doesn't, by any means.

Equality, if we're being technical, is the chance to live. Which we're all given from birth.

There is no such thing as social equality...its stupid Bullshit....its an absolutely unatural state ......stupid Communist Ideas.......and you my friend, don't really care either ....the thing why you think you "care" is because you were taught that people "deserve" same rights, same standards of living...and it is not possible dfor you to decide against it...you do it because you want to...if you wouldn't you would feel bad...if you do you feel good...maybe even moral superior...I don't know.....but you don't do it for the people in Africa...the truth is no one cares aboot the people in africa except for the People in africa.....

There are all different types of equality, it just depends in what text its read. And in this one, equality is the basic essentials to live.

well then.
for some reason i dont think live8 would make a difference, Africa needs to sort itself out in time

If they are strong enough they will...I doubt they are though....if at all they will "borrow the strength" from other countries.....that's the idea of Live8......no an unselfish one of course..but still the idea

Oh by the way, the poll sucks, it should be edited.....it somehow gives the impression Poverty is something worth to be destroyed....
