Default Re: Why not steal money and give it to Africans?

[ QUOTE ]
I completely agree with this. If 100 starving african children that I didn't know had to be pushed off a cliff to save my little brother's life, I'd toss them in a second.

I agree completely. To re-cast the problem a bit, suppose 10 starving Africans plan to kill my little brother in order to take his money in order to buy food for themselves so they can survive until the famine is over... The problem is identical -- one life vs. many lives. But there is absolutely no question about it -- if I am there, I shoot all 10 Africans right in the head (or as many as required to save the life of my little brother), and I'd look with contempt on anyone who would not be willing to do the same.
