Free will, tell me whats free will about half the world being in poverty. 15 percent of the world being in hell on earth, and 25 percent of the world starving. These people don't have a choice, there is nothing free will about not having a choice. Its the complete opposite of free will.

These people were so far in debt that they were going to die from their own hands or by starving to death, thats not free will either.

uhh your talking about opportunities not free will, free will means you can do whatever you want not have whatever you want, maybe you're talking about free market but still doesn't make much sense in context

their crops died cause of a drought a fairly common occurance theirs really nothing anybody can do to make crops grow in a drought in a arid climate

poverty is caused by a number of things, in india is main cause is overpopulation china managed to bring like 1/3 to 2/3 of their country out poverty cause of population control and other measures but india hasn't taken major steps, in other 3rd world counties the cause of poverty and starvation are mainly cause of a lack of farming & manufacturing. a country is going to continue to be broke and starving unless they can produce their own food and goods which is why the millions in aid thats given out every year to fight starvation always accomplishes nothing, these places need irigation systems and water filters rather than just food or money to their corrupt governments

Opportunities makes sense but so does free will because how can you have free will, the ability to make your own decisions without the limitations of physical or divine forces when you can't make your own decisions because you were born into an impossible situation. That is like saying that you have free will being born brain dead.

So, basically, the only way to get out them circumstances is by a miracle like the China government turning their country around. You can't do anything about it.

These guys just didn't want food, they needed it, it was a requirement for them to live.

Either way it makes you appreciative to be born in the USA.

A lot of the crop failure has to do with the farmers inability to grow genetically altered crops, as well.
