[QUOTE=hypno-toad;19570266]I'm not going to cite shit for you, just that from the people that I know and that I've talked to over the internet have described things there, and it doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as the rest of Africa.
The best I can give you is that their Human development rate is somewhere around .700 whereas most other countries in Africa are around .500 to .350 and below.
It's not great (or very good for that matter) but it's a lot better than most other countries in Africa, especially when compared to some armpit like Sudan or Ethiopia.[/QUOTE]
i've seen several people take vacation in Africa god know reasons why. Locals hate them, camera confiscated by the cops, and in general, it was shit. See, i can do that too.

Are you a troll, or are you just stupid?
That had so little to do with what I posted I can't even laugh at it.

If you can't laugh at that, I recommend you get a sense of humor, son.

Better say you did know that, then cover your tracks.

[QUOTE=Killuah;19570104]I can't even understand what you are saying here.
And why are you calling me son?
What?[/QUOTE]
He's calling you "son" in an attempt to establish a sort of dominance. He's basically referring to you as his subordinate, and he is your dominant, more powerful and smarter master...much like a father.

South Africa that is.

A superior intellect that thinks Africa is a country
[QUOTE=James*;19570709]A superior intellect that thinks Africa is a country[/QUOTE]
He's trolling...
I think he might genuinely be an idiot who for some reason or other thinks he's intelligent
This is making my head hurt. It's so much harder to make a point when you need to disprove every single sentence the other person says.
[QUOTE=James*;19570755]I think he might genuinely be an idiot who for some reason or other thinks he's intelligent[/QUOTE]
I don't think so.
Short: He was eighter a troll, or that was what he believed (Republican) and in that case he's just really stupid.

Time magazine does that for some reason. Sorta like how you get next month's magazine this month.

In 1950 we left them for dead when the colonies stopped making profit and let our industry take that role.[/QUOTE]
Not to agree with lolwatdude, but South Africa was one of the few countries we left better than we found.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;19569927]are you saying that south africa is a wonderful [b]country[/b] in which our aides are definitely getting through?[/QUOTE]

They can do that, they are called [B]Time[/B] magazine for a reason.

Providing you are white.
lolwutdude is what makes America looks like shit, therefore is America's issue and should be whipped off of the countries ass.
But yes, Africa is quite shitty, but there actually are cities and towns that are doing exceptionally well for themselves, you know, since the entire country isn't filled with spear chuckers who don't even know what the "wheel" is. If it wasn't for countries ran by whitey, Africa wouldn't be such a shit hole.

Paradox.
So who wants to go to South Africa and tear some slave-trader dick?
[QUOTE=Killuah;19569813]I'd call the immigrant workers in Italy and spain similar.
They get around 15€ per day for the hardest field work you could imagine.
It was just in the news because of people in south italy gathering mobs. The police had to evacuate over thousand workers out of an old factorie where they and their families shared 8 chemical toilets.
It#s a pretty big scandal in Italy right now.[/QUOTE]
What's different here however is that the people are more or less forced into the situation. The girl they are describing in the article was sold along with her friend to a human-trafficer. The majority of them are the same- poor young women getting lured out by agents of crime syndicates to be used as sex slaves.
[quote]Aid groups estimate that some 38,000 children are trapped in the sex trade there. More than 500 mostly small-scale trafficking syndicates — Nigerian, Chinese, Indian and Russian, among others — collude with South African partners, including recruiters and corrupt police officials, to enslave local victims. The country's estimated 1.4 million AIDS orphans are especially vulnerable. South Africa has more HIV cases than any other nation, and a child sold into its sex industry will often face an early grave.
