There's a place and subject to joke about, and pointing out the obvious . . this isn't one of them.

I realised that, I was just pointing it out.

Yeah, but it's OK, because they're all dirty backward ****** savages over there. Who cares, so long as we can get cheap beer and pizza and watch Big Brother.

At the risk of bumping this, I'm not being in the least bit serious. It's just that there's no point discussing stuff like this in GD.

The owner said they got 5 hours shool each week, fat chance!

It sucks but it is just the way the world is, not so long ago the UK was in a similar position, it will change as the countrys develop, we cannot do this for them.

I think vonhelmet was joking.

This guy speaks the truth, when we do get involved in preventing this kind of bad thing it backfires, i mean, look at the Iraq war, all these damn liberals complaining about things like this, we go sort out a country that does not only this kind of thing, but a lot worse, and suddenly were evil :confused:

So you believe the Iraq war was about liberating the people and regime change? Well, fair enough.

To be honest, that's quite the non-sequitor.
