I find it funny how the west tries to teach people proper justice, and not eye for an eye.
Yet the vast majority of the poeple who voted in this poll said yes.

This is why we can't have nice things..
African American history IS American history
This is I'm losing faith in our education..

No it's not.
If you take a history course on America, you don't learn about the politics, problems and people of in Africa, you just learn that they were taken into slavery and brought to the colonies. To most Americans that's all that matters, so that's all that's taught.

What?
It's not African history..
It's American history and in my experience we learned plenty about the struggle of African Americans.

It's all good.
I think Badunkadunk is lying anyways..
I would never allow an African American History required class in my education and I don't think many would either.
There's no way that can be a required class and if it is I'm heavily disappointed.
Recolonize it, or just quarantine the whole country.
The best solution I see is to take down the sharia law somehow. If we'd manage to remove that things would be more civil, wouldn't stop the psychopaths, but atleast wouldn't give them the excuse and power to do this crap.
Is it safe to say that nothing good has ever come out of Africa yet? Except Diamonds?

What a useless shithole, no wonder the first humans [b]left[/b] Africa.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;25756011]The situation in africa is too far gone. We've known this for a while now. Aid is taken up by warlords, and not distributed at all. A full military force would have to go in, and that would cause so many more problems than just stepping back and ignoring it for a while would do.[/QUOTE]
First we tried nothing, that didn't work.
Then we engaged in several small wars with some of the governments in Africa, and that didn't work.
Then we went back to trying nothing, and it still hasn't worked.
There is only one real solution to solve Africa's problems, but I doubt anyone would want to follow through with it due to the huge human and environmental costs.

What? Building a wall around all of Africa?
Shame, I used to like the Mujahedeen.

We can't just mind our own business? Africa, the Middle East, it's none of our business if some warlord decides to throw artillery at his neighbor. When they start lobbing it our way then we can go in there and stomp all over them, [b]then leave.[/b]

[QUOTE=Jim_Riley;25756266][b]And yet we in the "civilized" world of luxury and excess continue to waste money into African aid. Just so we can pat ourselves on the back thinking we're doing something good when it's all a waste of time and effort.[/b]
It's a damn shame really because I've never donated for any aid and I [b]know[/b] there are a majority that really do need it. I'd like to know what I do makes a difference, you know?
Makes me rage to listen to that hippie crap of peace, love and equality for all regarding these things as well.[/QUOTE]
THIS!!
We don't give aid to fucking help anyone, it's so the fucking public can feel good about themselves and justify their own misplaced self righteousness.
We just need to stop, the entire continent is beyond saving.

How?
We give aid to the fucking country and it rarely if ever gets to the people and makes a difference, there are countries constantly embroiled in dictatorships, rebellions from dictatorships, genocides and war crimes of proportions unseen since the Third Reich.
Tell me, how would this all be fixed by anything short of a full scale, first world military war?

And when there is a crowd of hundreds if they actually collectively attacked them they could have won.
And fuck I can't imagine that the average somalian has a fantastic life expectancy it's not like they were gonna live long anyway.[/QUOTE]
If an Ak has 30 bullets in a mag, one of those dudes with a gun could have killed 30 people by just spraying the gun into the crowd. You think it's worth losing 30+ people to save 2 girls?
[QUOTE=bravehat;25761961]How?
We give aid to the fucking country and..[/QUOTE]So the solution is to kill all of them? Why do you even care then? I mean judging by your responses you never aided them, so this does not involve you. You don't give a fuck about the people really. You're just an anti racial hypocrite, too ignorant to even look for alternatives.
Actually when I was a kid I gave money to unicef pretty much daily :smile:
But the only thing that will help africa is a full scale military campaign to remove all the corrupt fucking warlords and rebels but frankly no one cares enough to throw our people into the fray to help them in any substantial way.
Oh and I would feel the exact same if they were white, so don't pull the racist card, its the mark of someone with no other argument.

Atleast for this thread the main reason is the sharia law, if you could eliminate them from using it, things would improve allot.
I love how when something like this happens, everyone is like "I lost faith in humanity.", or, "I don't want to live here anymore." When the funny thing is, things like this have happened for centuries, and it's not like [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials]the Middle Eastern countries are the only ones who ever executed someone for being something they aren't.[/url]
