Yeah, it's a smart thing to do, but technologically speaking, not exactly earth-shattering.
I don't believe anyone claimed it was a massive leap forward in technology. Just that it was a novel implementation of an existing technology.

Besides, very few people actually live in deserts. There are a lot of people that live in areas that have water but are sorely lacking drinkable water.

Well, you know how it is once people start getting something for free from somebody else...pretty soon they'll be bitching there aren't more of these and they have a right to purified drinking water.

Made me want to strap a bomb collar to his neck.

A need isn't a right...especially if that "right" is at the expense of others. Getting these people clean water may be the "right" thing to do, but that doesn't make it one...

Who gives a shit? Obviously providing this need is helping this company, or they probably wouldn't be doing it. It also doesn't seem to be fantastically expensive when weighed against the incredible benefit to the people living there. But, please, go ahead and preemptively vilify people in need. Great world view.

Shallow thinking like this is what results in the truth described by his original statement.

Feel free to add any specifics to this so I even know what you're taking issue with, thanks.

Your disregard of the distinction between needs and rights.

You don't have a right to food. You need it to survive, sure, but it's not a right. Nobody owes it to you. It's incumbent upon you to go out there and secure the means to get your own food.

For someone to point out that not all needs are rights and for you to respond "who gives a shit!?" is, in fact, extremely shallow thinking.

People whose thoughts are dominated by emotion rather than intellect are more likely to take advantage of a generous gesture like this and demand that it be provided on a large scale (by someone else, of course).

That, and his criticism of fan4ever's "world view" as if fan4ever is out to prevent people from getting drinking water or something.
