Lout Of Africa?
Reminds me of Michael Marin's 'Road To Hell' - where he posited the same thing - that providing 'aid' and 'relief' will lead to population explosion, which will then create a situation where the countryside cannot sustain them. Marin's example was digging wells and providing irrigation in Somalia or similar - soon the number of sheep/goats expands way beyond the wildest dreams of the nomadic herdsmen, and competition for the prime land develops in earnest.... then the sheep/goats eat out all the good grass now created, and have to go further and further to find forage, eventually going beyond the 'prudent limit of endurance' back to water.... thus everyone dies. Same with sustaining an unsustainable population - cruel as it sounds.... For my final word (this time)... we of the West and particularly Lifeboat Australia should be looking very closely at what we are doing with our population and resources....... lest we end up in the same situation of needing more to sustain an unsustainable population while resources diminish (in our case in real terms due to economic forces, which in turn are due to massive mineral etc exportation without installing solid infrastructure for THIS nation first and foremost). The warning is clear for the whole world... get with it or be without it...... Gnads - you're in Queenslund (where they do things diff'runtly... mark my words!). You're not by any chance my distant cousin whose great-grandparents were sister and brother of my great-grandparents, are you? Same kind of thinking.... |

When you have a media that preys on emotion and fear and has been pumping this crap out for decades you are eventually left with a very fkkking stupid population of people that do some very fkkking stupid things because at the time the warm fuzzy feeling was thrilling.......and they got a front page spread.
Never donated. Never will. For the exact reasons in the article above. |

We must be fast approaching the time when those countries that are able to give aid to mendicant countries will no longer have the capacity to do so. You can only go to the well so many times. It will eventually run dry.
Aid is indeed killing Africa. Dambisa Moyo and Why Western Aid is Killing Africa Take the poorest region in the world, where 70 percent of the people live in poverty, 25 million have HIV/AIDS, a child dies every 30 seconds from Malaria, more than half the countries are run by non-democratic regimes, which has had eleven civil wars and two instances of genocide in the past 15 years, and you help it by...making it poorer?? The debate over how best to help Africa pull itself out of the debilitating poverty, corruption and disease it has been mired in for decades has been dominated — in recent years, anyway — by white, middle-aged male Westerners. Most of us are familiar with Bono’s courting of world leaders in drawing attention to the crisis, Bob Geldof’s Live Aid benefit concerts, and Bill Gates’ efforts — through The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation — to eradicate malaria, which kills more Africans every year than AIDS. Celebrities like these have occupied center stage in the debate, and their argument has been simple and loud: send more aid! Commendable, to be sure, and commonsensical on the face of it: Africans have scraps; we have a cornucopia — let’s help them. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jake-whitney/dambisa-moyo-and-why-west_b_180964.html |

The countries that can will no longer be able to because they were stupid enough to sign up to some mythical global economy that is slowly destroying them all and sucking them dry to feed a relative few offshore very fat leeches.
It's a real shame that the Darwin Effect (not the heat and a few Darwin Stubbies) doesn't seem to be working with politicians.. I suppose that's because they are safely insulated from the very evils they themselves create for everyone else. Now what was I just saying elsewhere about Trump and China .. oh... and North Korea and Kim Ill Dong ...?? |

It may be the truth, but Africa was colonised for decades or even hundreds of years, unfortunately the colonisers only exploited the people and taught them nothing. What is surprising that our leaders of this world do not realise that it less than 200 years when the population of this planet reached 1 billion, and now it is more than 7 billion, while they still preach global growth, which also means population growth; what a sad world. |

Title: Re: An Irishman's insight on Africa Post by freediver on Jul 8th, 2018 at 9:58pm
The problems in Africa are not attributable to a few centuries of colonisation. They are attributable to a millennia or more of supplying slaves for the regional and global trade, and 1400 years or Muslim rule across the north. The social and political institutions they have today were shaped during that era and are not going to change in a hurry.

Well - principally they turned inward and do not permit foreign investment unhampered... unlike this colonised failed state of San Austrador, they sought Sinn Fein after decades and even centuries of being ruled and dominated by foreign powers. Ourselves Alone is not just an Irish concept... it's a nation concept on an international stage - and only those foolish enough to not protect and preserve their own go down in a welter of immigration and resources and job loss... |

I totally agree with the above extracts from the Irish Writer.
I mean - he comes from a country that takes pride in being the 'foolish' drunk butt of jokes that 'sponges' off the EEC for want of getting sober with England, Wales & Scotland. Africans? Shall the world stop feeding their 'Western' ways? Because we all know that a Black Man in North America is a Labourer and nothing more than a Wanker. While the Black Man of Asia is an 'Academic' ...which is why Obama kept trying to be President of Asia, more than America. ::) So Mr 'Western' Irish Writer - its YOUR Western ways that have 'dominated' Africa to be as YOU want them to be. If you suddenly change your ways and stop feeding their 'Failings' for your culture... ...then you might as well stop feeding the poor downtrodden Convicts of Australia that are living the high life as one of the most wealthiest and expensive nations on the planet. A nation of over-indulgent Gays of near minimal hetero-breeding capability, for want of preference to have little white fluffy dogs as pets to can 'afford' to go to expensive VETS. Yes - the HYPOCRISY is evident. Me thinks the Irish Writer needs to point the blame at the USA/UK/Eire and WESTERN (North America & Western Europe) ways that made Africa in its own image. ...now one day, Mr Fred Hollows paid Eritrea a visit and his 'influence' there sparked a disciplined, self-sufficient, independent, honourable 'culture' of pride and progression. Eritrea 'sparkled' and grew as if seeing the light for the first time. ...of course, after Mr Hollows passed on. Eritrea was to find itself 'bullied' by the much larger Ethiopia and turn back into that lazy AFRICAN-AMERICAN style of being lazy, based on lust and living in a card-board box with a glory hole. Yep - YOU WESTERNERS used your 'domination' via POWER to make Africa what it is today. ...but hey, this is where the 'real' Australia will come into it and I'm not talking about the 'Western' version either ;) |

The problem is not only in Africa, it is in Asia, South America, the Middle East where the population is increasing at an alarming rate, and if this is not stopped there will hardly enough room for people to lay down. So rather than support people to keep on breeding, they should be provided with contraceptives and forced to stop breeding excessively; but for that to happen the world leaders have to become more honest and speak openly. Unfortunately in a Democracy that cannot happen, because the electors cannot stand the truth and will always vote for candidate who promises them what they aspire to, be it good or bad. There is a lot of talk about civilizations and humanity, yet so far no such thing has ever existed on planet earth. |

Title: Re: An Irishman's insight on Africa Post by UnSubRocky on Jul 11th, 2018 at 1:07am
We don't hold Africans in high esteem because they show no evidence of having created a society of any value. Western men and women hold their standards higher than African men and women. Africans are not going to do well when the West stops funding their meals and any semblance of a better standard of living.

Stop feeding them and see how many survive to 'out-breed' us in any meaningful way other than short, nasty life spans... best thing we could do for them..... they could breed to their heart's content in Africa and Asia...... shut the gates and lock them ...... We're busy building a better life and society so we can feed and arm them so they can kill one another with greater efficiency .... Footnote:- I have enormous sympathy and empathy with starving kids etc, and would be happy to do aid work - but being part of that industry is a waste of time and energy that could be better put to use saving Australia and the West from itself........ now ... to real issues ... we've 'Lima Declaration'ed' China - not put it back in the Dark Ages and let's get on with solving our own problems at home.... all building it up as an 'industrial giant' has done is to create the same problems as the West.... one mega-fat cat for every billion poor cats.... |

Their current leadership will lead them down the road of famine, mass killings, wars and a return to the ancient tribal feuds... if the Whites had any sense they'd be signing up as refugees now... before it's too late.

I have heard the song. Africa for the Africans. Asia for the Asians. White countries... for everyone. Economic aid does not include the economic development brought about by foreign industry requiring low paid workers. Though, those industries would probably want to continue to need humanitarian aid in order to continue their industry in those low-paid worker countries. |

The introduction of aid and the Lima Agreement have not materially improved the lot of the majority in any of the 'newly industrialised nations' - the ages-old social and economic divisions remain the same... even in that 'emerging industrial giant' China, the AWE is $7000 while the Big Party Boys, in true socialist democratic style, reap billions... and even the CHIMP (Chinese Industrial Manufacturing Person) has an AWE of around $56,000 ... No wonder the joint is straining for democracy... another clear example of a deep and underlying malaise that few can effectively articulate, but which the many feel in their water.... i.e. that something is rotten in the State of Denmark... |
