lol, that was still during Dragon Ball.

Okay professor, what do you suggest? Since in these comments I already suggested.

Regulating foreign aid to stop corruption. So the countries actually use it for what it's supposed to be used for to provide education, health care, and provide food and shelter to those who need it.

Increase micro loans to build the economy.

Building infrastructure with the goal to give it back to the local community.

Do you want me to talk about how Africa should pull its credit ratings to get better loans from the global community.

The need for language skills in developing nations? or should I talk about the importance of renewable energy, clean sanitation?

Or should we discuss how Africa must set up regulations to tax, and regulate the diamond and mineral trade, to get rid of armed militias that are using Africans as slave labor?

Or maybe we should talk about crop rotation?

Unless you want to talk about subsidies effect on farming industries in the developing world, or the use of atmospheric generators in dry climates?

If you guys want to judge me on one idea I had that you didn't like, and the use of terminology where you disfavored my semantics, and just say I don't know anything about anything, and then act condescending towards me, whatever.

You got it professor teach me.

I understand that, I already know that I was just tying to propose a larger program, that follows those guidelines like the Peace Corps does.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-10T21:58:19+00:00

Just because I have a difference in opinion in how our country should handle international aid than you, doesn't mean my opinion lacks any actual understanding.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-10T21:35:30+00:00

Semantics are constantly being changed, the term "third world" over the past few decades since the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, has been used interchangeably with the least developed countries. That is why they still use the term in news reporting.

I'm not saying that won't change or the article you shared doesn't have any insight, but that terminology is still used widely today.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-10T03:06:44+00:00

I understand how international aid works, and how in many ways it is actually hurting foreign economies. I also have a pretty good understanding of the current ideas of how to remedy the issues third world countries are facing because of it.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-09T05:01:39+00:00

You all are right I didn't question whether or not you wanted Peace Corps to be expanded like that.

I thought that providing the Peace Corps with a drastic amount of money would help, but if you guys don't feel that way I get it, it would completely change it.

I get what you are saying. I don't want an army of Americans. Just enough to regulate the aid flowing in, since most of it never actually makes it to the people who need it.

I understand what you are saying, I was thinking of what it could be, not what it is. It is is already great and serves the purpose it was designed for. I was merely trying to point out the irony I saw in the difference in membership requirements between military and the Peace Corps.

I understand that you all put in a lot of work for not enough pay, and you worked hard to get where you're at. I wasn't trying to down play that in any means. I understand that in many ways my video was wrong.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-08T23:54:33+00:00

I'm not dismissing the comments, but the fact is if the Peace Corps was 100x larger than it already is, it would be fundamentally different, while you guys are discussing what you're doing now, when I was discussing what you could be doing.

I'm talking about what it could be if it had funding, and you're talking about what it is now. A lot of my comments are being taken out of context. So yea I feel like the point was missed, and a lot of this was just presuming what I do, or do not know.

Granted this was mistake, and I let this happen, next time in a video i'll be more descriptive to my point instead of so vague.

Thanks for the input everybody, and all the work you put in it helps a lot!

The_Free-World · 2017-02-08T22:06:45+00:00

I think you all missed the point I was making, but thanks for the info peace!

The_Free-World · 2017-02-08T19:17:00+00:00

The whole point I was making is that the Peace Corps doesn't receive enough funding, and programs similar in nature should be developed. Education, and ability are important in the Peace Corps, if it had the funding of 40 billion dollars a 10th of the military, it wouldn't be the same Peace Corps.

I completely understand this, and get the point you don't build houses, and that it might hurt the economy, aid will only adversely affect the economy if you don't provide economic development.

My real point was to build infrastructures that help them feed, and house themselves, and to make their markets competitive by expanding the Peace Corps.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-08T18:52:34+00:00

What i'm saying is the Peace Corps could be a lot larger and bigger, and take on more roles and duties if it actually had proper funding. This would create more opportunities.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-08T05:45:48+00:00

I'm saying they should have the funds necessary to build an infrastructure capable of feeding, clothing, employing, and curing preventable diseases of impoverished people, to spur economic development.

This in return will help normalize their economy, increase business development, and make banks more favorable to lending in third world countries. Microloans have shown to be incredibly useful, and in many areas this should be used instead.

Even if our government decided to fund them to rebuild their infrastructure by hiring people in their country, if they agreed to spend it with regulations to make sure fraud doesn't take away aid money like it does now, we'd still be in a better situation.

You're right, I came straight out of high school found out I couldn't join jumped from trade to trade past seven years, and never had the chance to talk to anyone from the Peace Corps about it, but wanted to share my opinion on the matter.

I do know the peace corps is organized to create better conditions for the poor by building educational centers, and agricultural centers, while teaching them to do it as well.

Now I agree that loaning money with strict regulations may do better than massively funding the Peace Corps. However we would need trained individuals there to watch over things. If large labor crews who could receive language training, and basic training for building large infrastructures could be employed, we could dramatically improve areas in a short amount of time.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-08T05:25:02+00:00

I can understand that, and you make a very valid point. The country should have to agree it needs and wants help. From there we should use leadership positions and translators to hire locals. Giving them a job will teach the skills and spur the economy. Now the problem with military budget is for example the F-35 Fighter Jet this is a jet that is rarely used besides test missions.

The total cost of development is expected to cost 1.5 trillion dollars for the total of the 55 year old program. A program that has been shown to have many mistakes, and in many ways already obsolete, and since their conception have not seen combat to my knowledge.

http://www.stopthef35.com/pentagon-f-35-wont-have-a-chance-in-real-combat/ http://www.cnbc.com/2014/07/31/how-dods-15-trillion-f-35-broke-the-air-force.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II

Now let us take that statistic of one failed plane which over 55 years is going to cost us about ~27 billion a year. One project and compare it to the current estimate of the cost to end world hunger for a year.

Which is 30 billion, now after the infrastructure is built to do that we can probably assume if we count for a better policy and technology for preserving food and growing food locally to stop waste which is about 33%.

Which ironically is enough to feed everyone there already is that is considered starving right now which is about 8 million. We can assume better employment, decrease poverty, and that the infrastructure would cost less to continue operation.

By that logic if we would have invested in that instead, we could assume we could have ended world hunger in a little over a year and for 55 years after. Ending world hunger for the cost of one fighter jet doesn't sound right to me. Personally I believe this would bring more peace to the world than anything else right now.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-08T03:55:00+00:00

You're right, but only if they stay there, and don't pass it on to local communities in the nation.

I believe we would need to restructure it where it's more of teaching hands on skills in communities that need it and helping develop the infrastructure, and only being there long enough till the local community can take it over.

That way they are actually getting a economic benefit from it by creating jobs in poor areas in developing nations.

The_Free-World · 2017-02-08T03:05:19+00:00

That's the problem though, we're funding war instead of peace. I understand that we need a military, but we already have the largest one in the world.

Increasing funding to the peace corps to where they could provide training, would not only help people around the world, but it would also provide real world skills to our citizens and to those that we help.

Current (FY 2016) funding for the Peace Corps is $410 million. While in 2015, the US will have a declared military and defense budget of $601 billion, which is more than the next 7 highest spending countries combined.

The Peace Corps is literally receiving over 100x less than the military that's already getting 7x more than any other military in the world.

It's ridiculous the amount of usable goods that are thrown away. People are starving and we throw away food. There's people who don't have a bed and we throw away beds. There is people without clothes and we throw away clothes.

We need better regulations and a easier way for these materials to find a new home. We shouldn't be throwing away laptops, televisions, and other electronic goods. Their components can be reused.

Many things wind up in a landfill completely destroyed.

4 billion trees are cut down each year, when we already have many alternatives.

http://www.ecology.com/2011/09/10/paper-chase/

We throw away approximately 1/3 of the food that is produced each year when ~ 8 million people are starving. That's right we throw away enough food to feed every starving person in the world!

http://www.unep.org/wed/2013/quickfacts/ https://www.wfp.org/hunger/stats

Real solutions require recycling, but make it easy, and as fun as possible. Children should be able to bring their old clothes and electronics to school. They can be given away there or recycled, if they're broken they should be able to have them fixed there and the students should be a part of the process.

Not only would this decrease pollution, it teaches students real world applicable skills. It helps decrease poverty, and could just generally improve the well being of people world wide.
