Report abusive post | Aid to Africa just makes it worse...
| Quote |
Money is, for the Europeans, the solution to all of Africa's problems. But despite yearly payments of, at last count, some $26 billion, the majority of the continent resembles something approaching one big emergency military hospital.
Already today there are increasing numbers of Africans who call for an end to this sort of support. They believe that it simply benefits a paternalistic economy, supports corruption, weakens trade and places Africans into the degrading position of having to accept charity. "Just stop this terrible aid," says the Kenyan economic expert James Shikwati.

It's about time we cut off all aid to Africa.
Then they have a choice - get off their asses and improve their countries or do nothing and continue living like medieval peasants.
The choice is theirs. |

Was it money or loans?
Read - for thy sustainer is the most bountiful one, who has taught the use of the pen, taught man what he did not know!
Nay verily man becomes grossly overweening, whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient: for behold unto thy sustainer all must return.

The problem with the money is the corruption within the countries. So little of any funds given either by the USA or the EU actually goes to the people it is intended to benefit. Most of it ends up in the hands of corrupt officials.
Better they should send food, medicine, household items, shoes, clothing, schoolbooks & supplies, even seeds and farm animals and simple farming tools than money. Sure some of it will end up on the black market with profiteers but not most of it.
Also send in teams of people to help them re-learn their farming skills so they can at least grow enough food. |

Cut it all off now - not another penny.

Sending aid to Africa is like pouring money in a black hole. Countries in Africa do not allow abortions and their people breed like rabbits. By 2040 Africa's population will double, reaching 1.4 billion. The US/EU has no obligation to feed other people's children. |

Tens of Thousands of Whites prepare to flee South Africa
Date Posted: Thursday 24-Jul-2008
One of my Afrikaans friends who is planning to leave South Africa told me the following story. She and her husband want to go to Australia or New Zealand.
Recently at Midrand (between Johannesburg and Pretoria), there was an exhibition of companies who can assist people to leave the country to go to New Zealand. Various companies like removals companies and agents who can help you to leave the country exhibited at this show. My friend and her husband attended and she said there were thousands of people attending. She told me that almost all of them were white. She saw the odd coloured (no blacks), here and there, but the overwhelming majority of people leaving were white. She said there were thousands of people attending the show.
Some weeks/months prior to that, at the same place they had a show for people wanting to go to Australia. She attended that too and the place was even MORE PACKED. She said you could hardly move and queues were so long that you could easily stand for an hour or two just to get a chance to speak to one of the representatives of the companies at the show. She said the place was so packed you could barely move.
So clearly, the great white exodus of 2008/2009 continues.
This is reminiscent of the late 1970's, early 1980's in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe - only on a larger scale since there are more whites in South Africa.
I must admit, I never thought I'd see so many whites leaving. What is different though is that this time it is the most AFRIKANERS I have ever seen going.

The choice is theirs.
Also......If we send food it will enable them to have even more children that they won't be able to feed unless we send even more food.
The only thing they need is education to stimulate their curiousity to visualize what it would be like if they did change.
Of course they are also plagued with a variation of what inflicts the entire human race....... Human nature, Which has always seemed to lack the single most important attribute....... Moderation of Greed.
Obviously I'm rambling........ Although perhaps you will recognize my point......Or not.
One Truth.... many realities |

They're a bunch of morons. Just like in this country, their counterparts make up a mere 13% of the population, but commits 90% of the crime (this from a cop), and have more AIDS, and more problems, than the rest of the country put together. Why are they so messed up? |
