Feb 11, 2012 - I run a gaming community and I wish I could round up the little pricks are show them documentaries likes this for hours till they realize how well off they are. My kids watched this and felt ashamed even at their young age. Most kids in the modern world should be round up and send to labour camps.

Feb 17, 2012 - trust me it will make very little difference, most would just laugh only a few would help and they would be ostracized as bleeding heart liberals.

Feb 18, 2012 - So you are not simple-minded in generalising about European and American people's intellects, based simply on a few people's comments under a youtube video? To be perfectly honest my friend it seems that most people are just trying to voice their concern and outrage after seeing people living in terrible conditions. What is wrong with that? No one is claiming they can sort out these peoples' lives or truly understand these peoples' suffering.

Feb 21, 2012 - How is it that such a rich, large country has such high levels of poverty? One of the explanations without doubt is endemic, historic corruption.

Feb 24, 2012 - its so sad what they go through, we have it easy! and yet we still complain

leanmv Says:

Feb 25, 2012 - Easy answer for someone who is still connected to the matrix... If those families had a proper education and basic human needs, nothing of this will happen... but this is a daily reality because is part of the current system.ZEITGEIST NOW!!!

leanmv Says:

Feb 25, 2012 - PRECISELY!!! It's all about money, and everybody seems to be ok with it...ZEITGEIST NOW!!!

Feb 25, 2012 - How about if they start to think about ther over reproduction and have 2 kids instead of 12?

Mar 7, 2012 - @jackuppercutThis is an incredibly ignorant statement. Considering the great lengths they have to go to attend school even now, I highly doubt this mother had family planning taught to her.You have machines to greatly lighten the labor of your everyday activities that you seem to completely take for granted. There's a reason why birth rates decline as countries industrialize. Try washing your clothing and sheets by hand, scavenging and hunting for food, harvesting wood for a fire, etc.

jackuppercut Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - "But what do I know" " 'I' would say...". Notice how I made it clear this was my own perspective. I understand these people are facing a completely reality. I didn't condemn them, I just gave my opinion. How can you judge what I seem to take for granted based on three sentences? Only an ignorant fool would pretend to know. You know from my comment what I've experienced? If you judge what you know nothing about do as I did: make it about your own opinion. Don't make assumptions.

floresebu Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - It is good that the influence of the Roman Catholic Church is greatly diminished in Brazil..A bunch of men wearing dresses telling women not to use birth control but to just have kids till they die.. Of course the priests want access to the children

floresebu Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - How do they all have such good teeth...Seriously their teeth look a hell of a lot better than most of my neighbors here in Mississippi...
