Would you rather cure all world hunger or be given $100 million dollars? Be honest

Fix the hunger.

This achievement will trigger world change to a moneyless society...

...which is better that anything.

Without being educated those people from 3rd world countries will rob and destroy your farms in the matter of days. Check out South Africa as an example of how uneducated people treat first class infrastructure.


I would use 100 millions for educating people, this seems to be the only way to end this madness.

$$$. I'm in it for my family tree. Not yours.

In order to ensure our existence on this planet we sure do. It may not be an immediate issue now however it is an issue that will need to be addressed and those who disagree might aswell off themselves because that type of thinking will volunteer yourself for termination due to being a threat to human perseverance. Using very dangerously flawed logic as you have is a character flaw in not being able to balance issues of importance properly.
Look at it this way... There are 6 people on a life raft waiting to be rescued and food and water has become very limited. You can continue to ration out the very little supply you all have which will result in half a meal for all for 1 day or you could draw straws to see who sacrifices themselves as food. 1 of the 6 does not agree and refuses to draw straws. Guess who is killed and eaten first?

same as the 2nd guy i would rather the money but my conscience wouldn't let me god dammit!

Paid in Gold ONLY

I'll take the money.

It's tough, because in a way every single hunger related death from then on could(in some people's minds and maybe even your own)be all on your shoulders. Every child that starved could have hypothetically been saved from the suffering they eventually had to endure but you personally chose not to save them.

^THIS

I would feed all the hungry people, no question.

You got it!

Your trying to justify genocide. wt the fuck is wrong with you.

kill me then.

100 MILLION dollars


because i could use the money to help others and well as myself if someone tryed to cure world hunger with just 100 million they would fail .....

I would take the money and fight Monsanto.

Your not getting my point... Here is where you and many others are flawed.
If world hunger was resolved indefinitely we would hav a growth in population that would not only devalue everyone's life everywhere on th planet but it would result in the extinction of humans aswell as all other animals and plant life too. So your answer to saving necassary loses would not only be counterproductive to your goals but it would be counterproductive to all life indefinitely. Do you understand now? Stop taking things so personal and do us all a favor and use your brain.

Cure world hunger..where in fact, there is no reason for anyone in this world to be starving today.

Give me the $$$$$$

Take the $100 million.

I would invest this money on water desalination research, you cant cure world hunger without first solving the water problem, if a genie thinks different then unfortunately said genie is going to decimate the planet for all of us and create even more problems than it solves.

Having discovered the key to cheap desalination, I would then licence the tech and take a small percentage of the profits which Im sure over time would be worth much more than the original $100 million .

World hunger would be 100% solved without all of the inherent disadvantages of the genies quick fix.

The next question is should we then have a war to depopulate the planet, overpopulation generally leads to bad karma.

Look up definition of the word "genocide" before throwing this word.
It's called the survival of the fittest or the natural selection. If you cannot feed your own child then you should not have one, it's that simple. If you can't feed yourself it means there is something wrong with you. There is no law saying everyone should be happy. There are countless opportunities and countless people who are too weak to use them.
We have been living under this principle for thousands of years and look where it led us! This very moment a machine built by men is drilling surface of a planet millions miles from us! We can turn rivers, blow up mountains, create islands! We are true kings of the Earth illuminated with knowledge and power over things around us! These advancements didn't come because we were trying to wipe every ass out there so I don't really see a reason why should we change our attitude.

I would rather give bill gates 10,000 vaccinations.

cure for sure

If the cure was permanent, then of course cure hunger. I do a lot of charity work already feeding the hungry and providing clean water to villages without safe water. Water's more important than food btw. Wealth aint all it's cracked up to be and you can't take it with you when your time is up. You won't see a hearse going down the street with a U-Haul attached....

I'll take the money because I've seen what happens when you GIVE people food.

Oh yes there is.

10,000 people own over one half of this poor world. This would be fine EXCEPT the reason they own so much is because they have BOUGHT most "governments". The bought "governments" do not give a crap for the people they are supposed to be governing and split the countries wealth with the 10,000 leaving over one half of this sorry world, soon to include the USSA with two bucks a day to live on.

I would take the money and then feed the world with it

Cure world hunger, that is an easy one.

Exactly not because they worked hard, but from corruption and crime, they do not deserve the wealth they have stolen.
Some of them a small amount did get the wealth from hard work, they should keep it.
But the others should go to jail and their money given back to the people they stole it from.

You can't just cure world hunger, you'd need to teach agricultural practices and get the people the tools they need to grow their own food. Stop supplying aid so that local farmers can sell their goods at a reasonable price.

I'd just take the $100 million, buy a few thins for myself and then try to solve some of the hunger problems.

I'd take the 100 million easily

$ 100 million will not cure all of the worlds hunger, but if you are honest about it, I rather see that hunger problem is some what taken care off. At least I will not feel the pain for them.
