Bad-for-Africa news: - Taking over a continent

On a continent, where millions are undernourished and thousands die of starvation annually, why the hell would you need a chain of fast food restaurants that offer nothing but grease and starch? This really illustrates the greedy nature of fast food companies, the almighty buck always being the bottom line. They proudly announce their ambitious intentions, not giving a rat's ass about people or health, nor would they ever think to donate a portion of the money spent on their expansion to international efforts in the struggle to relieve some of the suffering in Africa. This story just makes my blood boil, from a human perspective. I don't even want to think about the perspective from the side of the chickens that would be needed to pull off this disgusting venture.

Good Could work? news:- Money talks

It is beyond me why reusing body parts from the dead for saving the lives of the living are such an issue with regard to beliefs and morals. Personally, I believe that once someone has died, there is nothing but a shell left; the essence of that person gone to wherever it goes after death. This ambition proposal sounds heartless on the surface but it's also true that money talks. Families need to have these discussions openly when the life of a loved one is fading away. Donating organs is not guaranteed to make the family of the dying individual feel better but it will most certainly make a difference to the family of the person whose life it saves. Closely regulated policies will need to be in place and naturally, as with all things that involve human nature, there is the room for abuse and corruption, but the paranoia that exists, I feel, is largely fueled by movie plots that center on such abusive practices.
