Exactly. Do you know how many of these dictators went to an IVy league school or Cambridge/Oxford/good western school? The people in charge over there know exactly what they're doing when they're keeping their countries fricked up and their people in ignorance

Yeah, that first part is unrealistic, but the point was just how far behind the people of Africa are. Congrats on letting that go over your head.
God the amount of stupid in these two posts.

Witchcraft is also believed in some parts of just about everywhere in the world. Just sayin.
Africa is a huge place. I don't think there's enough appreciation here for the variety of people and beliefs.

Eh, there's a gaining movement in S Africa to put witchcraft on the same level as nuclear physics. It's pretty ridiculous.

From a scientific standpoint is it any more ridiculous than the many movements in the US to teach creationism?

Give you cajuns a case of beer and every one of you will be swimming and trying to catch it.

You're really reaching in this thread, brah . . . Africa was, is, and will remain a perpetual cesspool of ignorance and self-destruction. Those people are doomed.

Creationism isn't a science. Neither is witchcraft.
Both have no place in school and putting either on the same pedestal as science is stupid.
But, last I saw, there hasn't been a movement by creationist proponents to reject all forms of science.

Yeah, but we can swim. And have developed tools to even the odds.
Adapting to your environment is an hallmark of evolution.

I knew a grad student from Bangaledesh who drowned in a 6-foot pool a couple years ago.
Hard for me to wrapy head around able-bodied adults having a lethal inability not to tread water.

Especially considering Bangladesh is like halfway underwater already. Sad and perturbing.

I've been the area a number of times on the Kenya side, Uganda side, Tanzania side.
In many ways I would be flattering myself if I considered myself their equal. And no lack of intelligence there.
In some other ways they are not my (our) equal. But we are deluding ourselves if we think we're going to waltz in and teach them a thing a two. That just reveals ignorance of life there and our own arrogance.

I have a family friend that goes there regularly. She says most of Johannesburg is pretty dangerous for white folks.

Bank on it. The next five years will see ZA become Zimbabwe. Sad, too, because the country is loaded with resources and had a good infrastructure until the ANC went the way of all other warlording dictatorships.

I thought they gave up the actual WMD's . . . could be wrong though. They still have nuclear technology capable of manufacturing the actual bombs iirc.
