[QUOTE=Uberman77883;27979736]Nice rebuttal. A picture of a man doing a cartwheel through some water really showed me![/QUOTE] Well done, that post didn't have anything to do with your stupid little argument :downs: On topic: I'd say Mozambique would be a pretty interesting place to go. Is there any specific reason you're going OP?

[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;27979541]It's your country's fault Africa is such a shithole.[/QUOTE] Just to say it again Europeans ruined Africa.
[QUOTE=Uberman77883;27980279]Just to say it again Europeans ruined Africa.[/QUOTE] To be fair, European colonization had both positive and negative effects on Africa.
Go there and learn about the politics for me. I think the political party is the Liberation Front or something, they're social democratic. Report back with results, I want to know if they're corrupt.
[QUOTE=Uberman77883;27980279]Just to say it again Europeans ruined Africa.[/QUOTE] What exactly did they ruin? Last time I recall, it wasn't a thriving capital of commerce and industry. Till you know, the europeans came in and exploited its luxury resources for their capitals of commerce and industry.

While there was poverty and sickness, it had some of the most friendly and cultured people I have ever met. We literally held a conversation with a complete stranger on the street, any passer-by in our "civilized utopias" will give less then a glance to anyone. I find myself offended that you would encourage the killing of millions of people that you haven't even met.

[QUOTE=RebeccaChambers;27980420]If I go there, I'll definitely keep up on politics there. There's more than one political party you know?[/QUOTE] Yeah, but the Liberation Front was the ruling party for a long time.
[QUOTE=RebeccaChambers;27980316]To be fair, European colonization had both positive and negative effects on Africa.[/QUOTE] Name a single positive effect, I dare you.
Africa was a shithole before European colonization but became more of a shithole after it.
[QUOTE=RBM11;27980481]Africa was a shithole before European colonization but became more of a shithole after it.[/QUOTE] I don't know much about Central Africa, but Northern Africa was part of the Muslim world and therefore quite advanced during the Middle Ages and before that Rome.
[QUOTE=marlkarxv3;27980515]I don't know much about Central Africa, but Northern Africa was part of the Muslim world and therefore quite advanced during the Middle Ages and before that Rome.[/QUOTE] Northern is also better today I know this. But I'm not talking about the 9th century I'm talking about the 21st.
[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;27980476]Name a single positive effect, I dare you.[/QUOTE] * Industrialization * Economic growth * Military growth * Provides jobs * Spread of capitalism, secularism, and democracy
[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;27980476]Name a single positive effect, I dare you.[/QUOTE] Resource Exploitation. That has been a huge positive effect on my life. I got a ivory fuckin piano.

Till you know, the europeans came in and exploited its luxury resources for their capitals of commerce and industry.[/QUOTE] Wow, you know nothing of African history. In Mali, king Mansa Musa literally distributed so much gold on his pilgrimage to Mecca it caused severe inflation. In Congo, gold flowed through the streets because of the slave trade. Sudan and Chad were economic hubs of trade as millions of traders passed through the Sahara. Zanzibar was THE hub of trade in all of Africa, trading literally every good on the planet to everywhere on the planet. Then, Europe came. Belgium enslaved Congo and killed 10 million people by using them as slaves to harvest rubber. South Africa experienced decades of racism and segregation because of colonial rule. Ethiopia, a once proud nation, was colonized and left economically ruined by Italy. Egyptians were massacred by British. Kenyans the same. Europeans left Africa, once an economic hub of trade and culture, as a desolate wasteland. They caused decades of civil war and genocide by writing borders arbitrarily on a map, with no respect to cultural barriers. This caused tribes who have hated eachother for centuries to mingle. This is how the Tootsie and Hutu genocide in Rwanda started.

Saying that the way Africa is today is it's own fault nowadays instantly makes you a troll. Because a continent that has had it's people enslaved and humiliated for over 500 years can't be blamed for that.
Wow Uberman, you are possibly the most angry person I've ever witnessed on the internet! And as for Mozambique, there really is just wild animals. Could go poaching I guess.
I'm in the angry mood tonight.
Uberman77883 vs. RebeccaChambers who can say the most ignorant things in the shortest time span, this is gonna be a close one folks
I would win but I would get banned for racism.
Did you know that Mozambique is one of the primary transit points for hash and heroin coming from Asia and Cocaine coming from South America to make it's way to Europe and South Africa? Also, supposedly in places like Tofo you can get Marijuana $30 to the kilo. So, if you can avoid getting arrested and jabbed for bribes, or ripped off by tricky locals you can get so stoned you'll forget you're in Mozambique.
See de löveli lakes. De majestic wild mööse. Or enjoy the culture. Go to the beach, witness nature, learn about African and Portuguese history.
