Africia

This thread makes me miss Cloud No 9.

Me too... :(

Alright, I found the article I mentioned earlier.

I remember that guy. Good times.

This is the best thread ever witnessed by myself or anyone.

Next you'll say Middle-Earth or Narnia or Canada exist. Hahaha, you believe in Africa, oh that's classic. :laugh:

I'm glad SOMEONE else knows Canada's fake. Seems like everyone believes in that and Japan. :rolleyes2

PiP: Believe me, I'm goddamned fed up of us in the West getting blamed for all of Africa's problems. However, trade barriers need to be removed, so that at least individuals in Africa can prosper. Also because they should just be removed, period, they're an archaic measure from the era of mercantilism and the gold standard.

Anyways, I've not even blinked when people refer to Africa as a single entity. Those parts of it which are free from poverty and civil war can consider themselves excluded from this discussion.

(Of course, on the opposite side this merely proves my point that nations and states etc. as any more than geographic denominations = failure, because if not every country in Africa is the same, it stands to reason that not every city is. And not every district in every city. And not every family in a district in a district, and not every individual in a family.) So unless we want to start talking about specific people who we know in Africa, I think it's ok to speak about 'Africa' as a whole, because it's self-evident that we're not going to be worrying about the rich parts when we discuss poverty.

I've been missing Cloud as well. =/ Someone should let him back in.
