"@dialupinternetuser How about TEACHING them how to get get water for themselves? Remember the quote about teaching a man to fish instead of giving him one (he will eat for life, instead of a day)? The internet is the world's biggest library, teach them how to use it, and they will find a way to improve their lives on their own, at a minimum of expense (they are more motivated, as well).@Amanie Are you retarded? Do you know how impoverished most people in Africa are? Beyond Kenya, and a few other pockets, it's worse than any continent on earth, politically, socially, economically, AIDS_wise, and in their every day standard of life. Do you know why most women die in Africa, statistically? Because they have to fetch water. Either of disease, eventual physical problems, or being raped and beaten on the way there and back, in any event they die in horrenous numbers, I've been there, I know a little. @artsyninja"""As for the children in Africa thing, i agree with dialupinternetuser, instead of trying to educate the children by giving them computers, why don't we start with trying to keep them alive, then we could possibly teach them to "READ and WRITE", THEN maybe they could actually USE the laptops. and why don't we build more schools and safe places for the kids to go instead of just trying to "improve" the few they already have. also, i think people should be more...""" WHAT?? You can't even use punctuation or grammar, how do you even dare tell other people how to "READ and WRITE"? That is so stupid, it's beyond comprehension (that means "understanding"). Get a life, write a check, go eat your bon-bons, but quit trying to show your ignorance, you stupid, spoiled, racist girls. These computers will open up the world to these people - and they are people, just like us, except most are better and more intelligent - and quite possibly take over the earth.This is the most compelling and truly humanitarian project I've seen in 30 years, and to me, it shows the goodness of man. And I will drag anyone who disagrees to my next trip over AND pay for it. Please support this effort, as I've already seen many benefits, and too many tragedies to count, and it just might possibly change the world."
