Hello all,
I'd like to offer my thoughts for discussion:
principally talking about sustainable development, I believe that the key to a more sustainable future for all countries lies in our hands: we have the power as consumers.
We! decide whether or not we buy from multinationals that do not respect
human rights nor environmental concerns;
We! decide whether or not we buy products that contain GMO;
We! decide whether or not we buy products that were produced
- by child labor
- under inhuman conditions
- torturing animals;
We! decide whether "Just be" is only possible when you own a Calvin Klein product or whether our liberty and happiness depends on a certain trademark;
We! decide
every day, every hour, every moment.
That's how we change (or not) the current paradigm.
What do you think?
what's GMO?

Mariel,
GMO are Genetically Modified Organisms. No natural food, but manipulated at Monsanto's and other laboratories. Many are manipulated with other organisms' genes so they last longer or have a brighter color or grow bigger and more resistant to plagues.
Nobody knows the effects of GMO consumption on the human body or the environment.
More on GMO: http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaigns/genetic-engineering

wel that is not d issus. the issus is that we are being directy or indirectly exploited by the companies with the help of the NGO's who claim to be helping us. that is exactly the peoblem and that is why i dont beieve the MDG is not possible and it is unrealistic, the MDG is just to make people feel like tomorrow can be better

Tell them my African brother. These people need to know the truth. Mariel has just mentioned that we have the power to change the world. I agree with her to a certain degree, but one facet of this discussion that she isn't taking note of is the fickleness of the average consumer.
Let me give you an example of what I mean;
A 26 year old American male about to propose to his high school sweetheart is pondering on which diamond ring to buy for the wedding. Lets call the stud Mark. Since the US is in a recession, the savvy thing to do would be to try spend less or reduce costs. Going to the local jeweler,Mark has two options .
1. Buy a diamond ring produced, polished and cut in a conflict free country that doesn't use its mineral wealth to exploit citizens (Botswana).
OR
2. Buy a stunning pink diamond at a 70% discount from Sierra Leone (war, death and hunger are treated as second class entertainment).His lovely wife Megan would be thrilled to have the same King size ring as Angeline Jolie.
Which diamond ring do you think hunky Mark would buy?? I could bet you $20 (I'm cheap) that Mark would opt for the cheaper diamond from Sierra Leone. The same can be said for the billions of people who inhabit planet earth. We love buying high quality products at a competitively cheap price. That's why MNC's will continue to exploit the poor and uneducated. Where there is demand, there has to be supply.

problematic with GMO
usefull by start saying, taht the will still be for a long time a heated discussion about GMO.
some say it`s undeniable to feed the expected population in 2050.
and it´S tue, on the one side. it can help to producuce in higher quantity.
the others, like me, say, that there could come main problems with GMO, that are still not developed.
furthermore, GMO brakes down nature.
and how could we responsibil to chance life and create the world and unique biodiversity?
a won`t be part of that! so stop buing GMO!

*All eight goals of Millenuim development goals are interrelated. It means the first one has direct impact on last one. The root cause for every problem is poverty, so I think we should focus on eradicating,at least eliminating, the poverty, so that it would be easier to accomplish other goals by 2015.*

so, and how do you think could poverty be fighted against?
it seems unpossible without the help of the developed countries.
unfortunately, these countries sell their weapons the nations, witch shoud need everything, but no weapons. what do you think why medicaments for HIV are such expensive on people who cannot pay ?
must be the fu.cked.up tactic of the developed

Hi Alex,
Eliminating poverty needs a multisectoral approach. I dont think that poorer country needs help from rich ones. We have to think that the rich countries were also once struggling and striving, lets analyze their strategies for development. Infact the poor countries are the best venue for the sales of warfares, because it has few rich people who buy them to reign. The rich people of poor countries are being richer day by day and the poor ones being poorer day by day. For it,the political situation of any country should be the strongest part, others being supportive.
"The expense of medicaments of HIV to poor countries is expensive", I think, it is also one of the strategies to get a control over 'em because no one feeds anyone for free. If any poor wants help then they should pay the rich ones in any form, may it be the import of youths and resources.The daring truth is that the development of developed countries is due to the import of poor ones by showing 'em beneficiaries. Who knows the ARVs that are discovered in developed countries may be the hard work of people that are from poor countries.
What do you think Should poor countries depend on rich countries????????

hi jashoda.
well shure, you`re right thinking about facts of weapons and poverty in third world country. during the rich ones become more and more rich, i holp they also get less and less. seems, that you cannot stop the "earning" of capital itsself.
there`s a main point on the HIVmedis i want you to think about: i expect, the main reason, is to control the birth rate and the life expectancy of third world countroes.
otherwise, they could ovverroll in developed countries living people within a few years. if the population in afriva, for example, had have a life expectancy of more than 50 years, instead of , i think about 30/40 years it is today, there would me some more peolple to fight for their rights! especially the popuklation in euro is shrinking.
that the un is not willing to provide drugs against hiv is a crime of the un.
that`s what i`m thinking. so we make us all together to murders, everyday.
of course , poor countries shoul`d depend on the richs. and maybe, they could develop without the help of the un.(that`s difficult to say i think;imagine the actually civil wars,f.e.).
but the rich countries should not act the way, they do today. if they`d mentioned their held squarely, i`d would be ok!

HI ALEX
Yeap, the rich countries should be concerned about providing HIVmedis to the Africam coutries.....there is no solidarity of the rich countries to help the poors, they just think that they are giving some left overs to the poor....what do you think how can we encourage or get positive attitude from the rich coutries......I too think the only way to minimise the devastating situation is by control the births and HIV infection by the use of condoms...what do you think Alex?

hi yashoda,
of course i think you`re right thinking. evrebody who can think in a ration way should be that opinion....but, why the hell is the church, especially the past telling the people that it could be wrong??? thats a f.ucking desaster, that the church has still got that rate of influence
what do you want me to tell you? that there are some facs in developed countries that are good enought to say: follow the same way, and you`re getting well"?? cant do do!
i`m not proud of living in germany, having much more chances to develop my self than most of the people in the world....of course social stability is a matter of fact, that is good made in germany, for anybody who becomes out of work or ill ......but, i would have to lie, to say, that people in india, brazil or madagarkar are "the better people" , im not in position to say something like that,
but I BELIEVE, that there are some characters in us, witch make us being more bad...for example that we live our affluence on YOUR costs^^ in anyway, because of the trading system and the capitalism.....you`re not living in a region that invented those bullshit...

some more words i want tp say
i studied the millenium developmnt goals about two years ago...at that time the result of my studies were very clear:
the positive affects, witch happened in 3.world countries, was mostly lead back on normal develops....you know the HDI-rankinglinst of the world?
if thereS not a very bad happening like civilwar, for example, the country always comes in better position about health, lifeexpactancy....
but the main point, i realized, that there was no positive develop to lead back on special help of the un or other NGO`S !

yours sincerely
