They are small houses made from dried mud. mud huts are houses made of cow dung(poo) and dirt.

That's how some people in the 21st century are still living.

I'm just trying to give you something to be grateful for is all.

In the first world, we sometimes forget that hundreds of millions of people face water scarcity, often damaging their skeleton hauling heavy jugs of water for hours each day (till the peace core shows up and drills them a well.).

It's good to sometimes see how others live these days.

Guaranteed they have a very low suicide rate.

I wonder who the police are in a village of mud huts, and where they put their prisoners?

Let me get this straight. The 2500 (local Catholic charities estimate) or so homeless people living in my town ought to be joyous because they're not living in mud huts yet. Fascinating! And it ties in so well with the fact that, on any given evening, you can go to the homeless camps here in town and observe the happy and grateful natives dressed in their quaint and colorful army clothing joyfully dancing around their campfires to express their delight they are not living in a developing country.

Please don't misunderstand me. I am grateful to live in America in part because -- though we are obviously, many of us, headed towards Third World living standards -- the economic surplus in the country, along with a few public and private social programs, has allowed for some amelioration of dire poverty. But to be told to be content with that -- in the richest nation in history -- that's another matter.

Not sure if joyous is the word... nothing wrong with counting your blessings, by seeing what others have, I suppose... plus I honestly find mud Huts interesting myself... no need for a broom or vacuum cleaner.

...no need for a broom or vacuum cleaner.

Um..it's just a fact that people sweep out their mud huts. At least, that's what I've read.

What have the great and wealthy churches of the world done to help? Ban birth control so more and more children are born into poverty with little chance of getting out?

Here's a fascinating question: Why on earth is there even a single person in the United States -- the richest nation in the history of the earth -- who lives in involuntary poverty?

Drug addiction and mental illness are two huge factors

Drug addiction and mental illness are two huge factors

Do you (1) see any other "huge factors" besides those two, and (2) do you think more could be done to ameliorate those two factors?

Around 700 million people in 43 countries suffer today from water scarcity. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world's population could be living under water stressed conditions.

2/3rds is most of us... suffering over something so basic as water

You know, I don't know what most of America is like, but in my city there are many resources...so many so, that there really has to be something wrong with you, I think, to wind up homeless, and that's coming from a guy who's been homeless a lot.

I would say having really poor parents, low wages, and unemployment are huge factors.

What area of the city you're born into is a huge Factor.

Physical disabilities is another huge Factor.

But for most people, it seems to be something is psychologically off with them

 

[Spiderman]

yes, much more could be done by Americans to completely end involuntary poverty, but we are selfish Apes, so it's not going to happen.

What's wrong with living in a mud hut? Isn't it preferable to living in a tent or under a bridge?


Where would you prefer the homeless live?
I'd also take issue with the pejorative "mud hut."
How is this "adobe" dwelling not a mud hut?
