h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Intolerance, bigotry, racism, these are my enemies. Not people but how they behave towards me.

So do I really need to give people in poor countries help and money, if on the other hand they consider me to be an infidel who should be brought under whatever holy law(Sharia, Thora, whatever) they believe in and, if this is not possible, should be destroyed ? If I can help a poor kid in Mexico who has lost his/her mother, do I really need to help the Nigerians whose government actually condemns people to death for having a baby outside of marriage ? Who lets the man involved go as long as 'he swears that he did not have sex with her'? A country with a government that doesn't even live by the Sharia but rather by a twisted perverted version of it ?

Do I really need to help people in Zimbabwe just because their deranged and insane leader has decided that white farmers have to lose their property ? The same white farmers that made the population of Zimbabwe one of the best fed nations in Africa ? Do I need to help Zimbabwe because they chased away their chicken with the golden eggs ?

These governments advocate bigotry and intolerance. If I help the people of these countries - and thereby help their leaders too - will I not just make my enemies stronger so they will have the ability to strike back and try to put their rules upon me?

The world is complex. Perhaps it is sometimes better to look at it through simple eyes. All else seems to lead to madness.

Just thinking out loud. It's finally allowed again in the Netherlands, after years of "political correctness".
