Subject: let them eat cake

ha if i had the money i would do it. But i tell you this, more is spent on aid for the San to compensate for taking away their lives than those farms would cost or ever make

I'd settle for some restaurants or takeaways giving a normal size portion. Some are either ridiculously small, while others fill the plate with enough for two people.

Takeaways give enough chips in one portion to feed a family of 4.

Is that anything to do with the fact that chips are very cheap? Exactly as cheap as chips, in fact...

my philosophy is that too much is better than not enough.

Want to be my wingman?

what does it involve?

taking the quantity while jim gets the quality, i suspect.

i will do it.

"...give them, or at least their descendants some more civilised life."

What type of civilisation do you intend to impart on these people exactly? Yours?
Do you consider your civilisation better for them, their values, culture or geography?
This is condescending elitism disguised as charity.

dylanos was correct, let them have their own 'land' to run their life according to their own civilisation.

The question is whether they want to live their lives the old way. I saw some street questionning in Nigeria or Kenya, about Obama winning elections. Most of the asked were saying "now we can go to America! Obama will give us money! We will live in America!". Now, I know that's rubbish thinking, but my point is that now when they tasted the modern life, they might no more want to make a step, or a lot of steps, back. And if so, then we should try to improve the level of civilisation in their countries. Actually no one makes them use a PC, they can still live outside of our kind of civilisation, right? :)
