Have YOU ever wondered?

If the people in Etheopia and countries like it are soooo bad off...which you can't deny that they are.....the adults are starving, the children are practically dead......where in the heck do they find the energy or even the will to have sex to produce MORE children that will suffer?? How is it the children are actually born alive if the parent carrying it is sick and starving to death?? I was curious...........if anyone else wondered!

    I mean it is kinda crazy all these shows show child dying and everything but why they keep having sex .. why cant we send condoms along with food or birthcontrol?? It makes me think that maybe,, just maybe they want money and their showing the sickness kids on there were families can feel sorry for them and send in money.. i dont know but its horrible!

    Their food supply is not steady, and when famines happen millions of people can die. You are right, though, that there is some food keeping people alive or there would be nobody left. War is one factor in Africa that keeps the food supply unsteady...

    Human sex drive is like thirst or hunger, so it should be no shock that people can't just stop. Not many people are thinking about producing children when they do it. Plus, women and children in Africa are raped much more than here in the US (this is a fact) because they are not protected by the law.

    Mrs Lilian Carter, mother of Prez Jimmy, did work in Ethiopia as a Christian missionary. she said, "they need some kind of release..." so even starving people are horny...and need some good feelings now and then. the more developed the country, the lower the birth rate.

    Need for sex is a basic animal response and one of the last things to die. Not only that but it becomes stronger when faced with death.

    Because the ones they show you bleeding hearts on T.V. make up about 1/2% of what is actually going on.

    Yes, it's something of a puzzler.

    I guess they have sex to keep warm in the chill of the night.
