In countries where the geography won't support the population already there, the Pope likes to travel there and teach them how birth control is evil. So babies are made, AIDS spreads, and everyone suffers. The Pope is somehow a decent person for encouraging this stupidty and suffering.
And we in America send TONS of food aid to countries like these - which just encourages them to have a population that can't be supported.
But be damned, if you even think about not neutering your dogs and cats or if you leave out food scraps for feral animals - you are a horrible person.
We can make the hard choices that have to be made for animal welfare, but we don't have the balls to do the same for ourselves.

oh my god don't even get me started on these topics. Far too many people on this planet. And as for giving to any charity, I would rather my hard earned cash didn't go to corrupt governments syphoning aid as it arrives in their country. And why not add something inflammatory... who would I be if I didn't... Religion is responsible for most of the world's woes.
