Starcom826 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Those famine photos are shocking. The West belongs in Africa not the bloody Middle East. 586227243[/snapback] A little harder to argue when Africa has so much aid sunk into it that it amounts to about $5000 per person. Thats a TON of aid. Where did it all go? It's about time to think of better ways of dealing with africa than just carting off more aid to it. Honestly, Africa has virtually nothing the West needs. The Middle East does, and no matter how people try to marginalize it, oil is ESSENTIAL to the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay_ Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Those are very powerful and shocking images. I have to appreciate this guy's effort for trying to spread awareness of what has become of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5N Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Those are shocking images. Sadly, not many people are exposed to these types of realities. I, too, have to appreciate this guy's effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pathetic. What you need some more luxeries so you can thrash around in your SUV? Your exactly right about Africa, we need to do more than ship off money because we don't know where it goes. We need to go over ourselves and rebuild. How would that affect the Western economy? Well let me put it this way, it cost alot less to feed people and build them homes than stock up on uranium tipped shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty pathetic that you can determine what I say for me. And for the record, I don't have an SUV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
