Just because someone is poor does that give anyone that it's right to tell them how to live their lives? It will start with stop drinking toddy, then someone would suggest poor people shouldn't have too many kids, then poor ppl should have kids, then poor ppl should even be alive since they are a burden on society. The risk for abuse is too great for any society to start policing each other on topics like this. We all know policing doesn't work in any society as the moment when the cats away the mice will play. Sure i do agree that with poor ppl, any money that they would be better suited in using it for something more worth while. But everyone has different priority. For instance i feel girls spending money on makeup and facials is a total waste of time and money but should we ban girls from dolling up? Problem is we all have the best intentions but we're not God and we can never know when too much of a good thing turns bad. Should we regulate toddy shops and stop poor people from drinking and getting drunk? No! Do we start educating them and give them guidance to stop, support, jobs and hope that this changes them? And hope a small percentage does change for the better? Yes, perhaps i'm too much of an optimistic. I'm always amused at how ppl with money view how the world should be. And you sure seem really angry with my comment. Relax! In the end of the day you'd have ur views and i'd have mine. Doesn't mean i'm right or you're right, it's my human right to express my view so it is urs.

Hey, I agree with that as in everyone chooses his own path and is responsible at the end of the day. But I too agree that some ppl should stop using "human rights" as a shield when they dun practice human rights in real life. “now people claim it is human rights to self-destruct.”
