In response to:
Nein, Hi-Fi, do not confuse Christianity with Greed. Greed comes under the disguise of Christianity, lots of things do actually, a lot of churches also use the name of Christianity, and this confuses people .... but they have no connection whatsoever to the Original Movement.
On fact, when the Catholic Church went rampaging in the name of Christ, the True Christians hid out in the mountains, and they have even to now remained a quiet secretive organisation ... they do not attend formal churches and they never identify themselves to outsiders ... they are only recognisable by their Actions..... called "Deeds". Anyone claiming to be a Christian you should be very wary of, do not trust them. A True Christian needs never to claim themselves a Title.
I'd have guessed that hi-fi was a one-legged black lesbian lady with rather large chips on both shoulders from her posts, but it cannot be so!
Since history has been recorded there has not, to my knowledge, been a single day on this planet where a war hasn't raged somewhere.......
Africa was NOT a peaceful, wonderful, loving place before the 'evil' Europeans colonised most of the continent......... (and you believe in evolution Africa was/is the birthplace of mankind so, if you believe that, then Europeans were merely going back to their roots).
Look at Africa both before and after colonisation - a total bloodbath almost everywhere where Africans mutilate and rape and murder and even eat their fellow Africans (quite like nice Europeans really).
What brain-washed, ideological claptrap you post, hi-fi! I am as much an African as wedward is a nobleman...... I was born and bred in Africa and I have lived in several African countries.
An African country that was going to be an African showcase was Ghana. Ghana became independent the same time as an asian country (Malaysia or Indonesia or whatever). There was a comparison made recently. Both coutries had similar populations and GDP and natural resources............the asian country has since done fantastically well while Ghana is an example of how things can go wrong.
There is no use in bleating about the past and blaming whole nations for one's inability to make progress.
Give a man with a slight limp a wheelchair and, if you insist, he'll use it and complain he can't walk.......... (at least wedward is man enough not to want sympathy), but people like you foster the victim mentality that keeps poor people poor because they are supported in the belief that everything is somebody else's fault.
If you believe the claptrap you write, why don't you go out to Africa and give your life in service to pay for the misdeeds of your fathers?
Oh, and don't knock my religion, please......... there have been many evil things done in the name of religion, but most of the main religions (Christianity, Islam, hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism etc) preach peace - even if some of their evil leaders twist a religion for their own political aims and desire for power over others.
Religions are mostly good, not evil - it's just that religions get perverted by asshole megalomaniacs!
