Re: bolivia socializes thier oil....................
[quote=KinKyJ]Why do we want to get Africa on the same level as we are anyway? Another continent sucking our oil reserves dry? Fucking up the Kyoto norm even more? Damnit, it's already bad enough that the Chinese are stealing employment from us as it is.
And apart from that, where are we going to sell our obsolete weapons and dump our chemical waste when Africa gets civilised?
God, it's been decades since we've brought civilisation and christianity to the bush, we've taught them how to dig up raw materials and plant banana's, we've built roads, ports airstrips to export it all to civilisation. Then the fuckers thaught they could do better and demanded independence. We gave it to them and what do they have to show for 50 years later? Nada, nothing, niente.
Columbus and the Conquistadores burned, looted, raped and killed throughout the Americas. Now do you hear the Latino's bitchin'? No, they got their shit together and started planting poppys and coca.
It's all Darwin to me. Like Sean said: survival of the fittest.[/quote]
About Africa....
It's fucked up because of incompetent leaders that came after the independence and the way charity organisations organise their things down there.Basically how to help africa is to send zero to none money to any of those charities. That would surely make things better or it would make africa be the way it wants to be and not as we western countries want to see it.
It's just like those fucking missionairs from the christian church everwhere they go to offer help they preach the people there that they have lived their life as sinners, doing it all wrong. Most christian missionairs are like a cancer swelling down that place. Would you listen to fuckers that come at your door and say you live the wrong way. Hell no!!! so kick them the hell outta there and please respect their lifestyle. They cost a shitload of money and they do nothing what truly helps down there.
Then dont take over complete governmental departments like education. Nowadays donorcountries are funding pretty much everything which makes things easy for the sitting government. "They send us money for that and they want to operate this...okay then let them do that." The result is that once the funding stops there's nothing changed. The country itself is not used to invest in education and the donorcountries/organisations have run the whole show including its own teachers and with too high wages. So once they leave the teachers leave as well or the very few african teachers they trained are not willing to work for the shitty wage their own government has to offer them. School stops and no education anymore, buildings are not maintained and collapse and things are back to how they were before. Which will ultimately lead to a few videos with kids doing nothing and a soppy story that they cant go to school...which makes another donororganisation come again for a period of time. That just a vicious circle.
