Why developing country want to aid other country when they they same problem within, why they don't aid their own citizen then look for others instead they try to ignore them and seek for them at last. What does it mean do they have enough money to help others, then why don't they try to build up their economy with such huge sum, why wasting it, why don't build good roads for its citizen where they are waling in mud they are providing good roads to other country, why they are hungry they are supplying good food to others for free, when they need education they are teaching good education at lowest price than their own.

I guess it is their way of creating a good relationship with other countries where in turn can be beneficial to their own country in the future...

It is my belief that we should take care of our own people first. I live in the United States, and I am not opposed to feeding the hungry and healing the sick and all that stuff, but I think we need to feed our own hungry and heal our own sick, and fix our own economy, and get our own people out of poverty before we start sending our money, food, medicine, and other resources all over the world...

Even the US government give up all his money they won't go bankrupt What's the major problem is that rich people are richer and poor people are poorer and that there nothing can be done.

You have a point. I also believe that before you help others, you must help yourself first. I mean, how can you help with others' problems when you have them and you can't do anything about them as well? But I don't think it would be cool if you know you could do something about others' problems and you don't do anything. I also don't think it's cool that you're being apathetic to other country's problems just because you're thinking that you have the same problem and you deal with it and they should deal with theirs. For me, although it's good to improve yourself, I think it's better that countries help each other so that they would rise and improve their economies together. Plus, it would have a good impact on the countries' bonds and connections.

Now that's a good answer, and i was looking for such kind. That's what was i thinking of while i was writing this post here at my lot and too believe that sacrifice and friendship is the best part of human nature no matter where he lives or what he does.
