singer's solution to world poverty response

so, singer's solution to world poverty is very relevent and sweet, because it is a big issue in this world, only it's ALWAYS going to be a big issue in this world, because there is no way to completely get rid of it, is there?

when you look at all the people hurting from poverty, you can realize that the fact is they're not as well endowed as punahou studets are. they aren't all homeless and living in the streets...some of them have stuff.

so, the truth is, poverty is going to follow us no matter how hard we try because the people suffering from poverty are just the poorest ones in the world. so, they may have huge mansions on the island of kaua`i and twenty-seven beautiful cars, but if the rest of the world has their own private islands and, let's say, twenty-eight cars, the people with mansions are going to still suffer from poverty.

it's true that we should all give something, and it doesn't even need to be money. it can be old or used clothes, toys, dishes, anything. the thing is, it doesn't even have to be new, and the person you're sending it to will probably love it more than you ever could.

so, singer's point is quite relevent, because everyone should make an effort to donate somethings at least once a year. but, for him to think this is the solution to world poverty is absurd. it just doesn't make sense, seeing that thre will always be poverty in this world. it's something that keeps the world spinning.

i agree with you...there is no way we can totally eliminate poverty. you made a good point with suggesting to donate used clothes and things because we have no use for them and they will.also, money is a hard this for your average american to part with so if we were to attempt to get more people into helping out overseas, donating used items would probably attract more followers...
