Africa, as a continent, is poor because most of the countries within it are corrupt and do not use their money the right way. We give it enough money. *waits for the ghost of Cloud No. 9*
Someone post that article about this that was on FG a few months ago.
I believe the second person to say hat Africa is not a country gets the cookie crumbs...AFRICA IS NOT A COUNTRY!
And everyone is basically repeating what other people had already mentioned. That is why I suggest we turn this thread into one that talks about how Canada actually does exist. :mad2: @ Psy!
Pfft, Canada doesn't exist.
Way to generalise a whole friggin' continent, good job. :p
I don't know; I think Africa's past colonisation has a lot to do with where it is today. Someone told me that when lands were conquered for the many wonderful Empires popping up like moles from a ground, it was easiest to do it with the 'divide and conquer' method. Play the people against themselves. Maybe it was foolish of people to fall for that trick, but whatever. They were played against themselves, and now they're stuck with what...remember Rwanda?
And Sudan. Sudan's a huge problem in Africa. Yes, people did smurf up there. Civil war on and off for twenty years, and aid gets there far too late. I spoke to a man from Medecins Sans Frontier, and he said it was ages before people even attempted to get aid in, never mind any blockades. Air lifts? Seriously. I'm glad the problems in Sudan have died down now, though. I really really felt sorry for those poor people. Imagine living in a land with a raging civil war almost amounting to genocide for 20 bloody years. Now, I'm not sure if Sudan was a former colony or not. Can anyone clear this up?
South Africa is cool. I love the place, used to live there! :D It's beautiful; seriously beautiful. And the African cultures are so diverse and beautiful.
The King of Swaziland is an idiot and should be forcibly dethroned for the good of his poor people. :)
Edit: Also, what is Canada? :confused:
World Map
You're lucky we Canadians are really calm. Otherwise you would have a hockey stick up your asses. :) IT IS RIGHT ABOVE YOU. WE ARE NOT LIKE UNICORNS OR FAIRIES OR ESKIMOS! WE ARE REAL PEOPLE!
Oh okay. I thought Canadians were extinct already. Sorry! :(
BUT THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
Africans are poor because they are black.
And there isn't enough white people in Africa for them to mug.
Hockey stick in the butt?Quote:
