I gotta agree aswell, the movie is one heart wrenching experience. Throughout the entire thing I caught myself on the verge of tears. Though the message discoursed through the documentary is just part of a bigger whole. True equality cannot be achieved, unless every person in this planet is given the same opportunity. Reminds me of the ambitions proposed by The Venus Project.In the words of Thomas Paine, " My country is the world, and my religion is to do good."www.thevenusproject.com   See 2 other replies

Your soul is very different from mine. Your ability to look at the extreme misfortune of others and disredard astonished me. We may not be able to remedy our poverty here but I assure you that if I had a loaf of bread and you were starving I would surely give you a slice. Help those in need there would lead to world citizenship. I wish i could understand how you think.   See 4 other replies

We can't even "remedy" the poverty in our country, but yeah we should JUMP right on over though and help them out. Give me a break.   See 4 other replies

It is much more difficult to muster up the will to "better your conditions" in a country where the children who grow up to be parents do so without the support of parents, and without education. It's not that they have no interest, they don't view "bettering" as attainable. It's easy to understand why someone could get bogged down with all of the problems surrounding them, and no example of how things could be.Chan, you seem to be using two small parts of the film to show that these people are inherently lazy and evil. But the reason these problems crop up in the first place is BECAUSE of poverty, not the other way around! Once the poverty is remedied, the other problems will follow suit.   See 4 other replies
