people chose to live in a shitty place where the average person is making shit for money and has no education where even shit like germ theory is incredibly above the average person

yeah
totally self inflicted dude

Yeah dude they totally chose to be born in Africa with probably less than a 10% chance of ever becoming wealthy enough to leave. Terrible decision. You, on the other hand, choosing to live in America, made a great decision!

Yeah dude they totally chose to have civil wars every 5 years and choose to not work and have sex with 8 different women every week so that they get aids and aren't able to work. If you take it from that angle a lot of it is self inflicted. People get aids they can't work countries get poorer and poorer and then ebola spreads and they kiss the dead people that died from it spreading it further and so on and so forth. That's just my view on it so it's debatable as everything is when it's someones thoughts.

ayy bless

ur fucking ignorant about history man

Red, just stop while you're behind.

disgusting

We are involved in many many conflicts as well. However, we don't actually suffer from them (or even seem to care about the lives we're taking) because of where we're born. I'm not even sure what the fuck you're talking about with "they don't work". If the majority of third world country Africans didn't work (or hadn't worked) in some capacity they wouldn't be alive, unlike here, so I'm not sure what your point is. Yeah you're right the fact that they don't have access to education about aids and its causes and they enjoy having sex (seriously wtf is this argument) means they deserve to die. I'm also in total agreement that they should stop embracing their deceased and beloved family members when the only people telling them to stop are associated with the governments that have been slaughtering and raping them for generations. Makes total sense. I'm sure if you'd been born in Africa you'd know all this and would make completely different choices.

I agree most things are debatable but your argument is also just plain moronic and callous and deserves to be called out as such.

It's not their fault masses of christian missionaries come to their country and tell them that abortion is the devil, gays are the spawn of the devil, and birth control(i.e. condoms) is the work of satan.
It's not their fault that due to the Berlin Conference and colonization of Africa that pretty much the entire continent was stripped dry and then left to fend for itself.

When people don't have education, they turn to religion. I really hate to bash religion excessively, but this disregard for science and birth control in African countries are problems mostly of the spread of Christianity and other fundamentalist religions in these places.

Wait I read your comment again, and you said that AIDS-->No Work-->Poor Country = Ebola?
You should stop now before it's too late.

Red, you are one of the people who give America a bad name. Please stop.

I very rarely ever post here but this really caught my attention, because this sort of reasoning is reminiscent of the reasoning certain people used when conflicts in Rwanda were starting to emerge prior to the atrocities that now make residents of first-world countries cringe and regret never doing anything, and was Clinton's self-admitted biggest mistake he ever made as a president. No, this isn't the same type of issue, and I don't advocate U.S. intervention in every foreign issue, but this isolationist reasoning with regard to Africa is really dangerous. Also, going on a tirade like that also makes you look ignorant in the first place and only perpetuates the stereotype that Americans are blissfully unaware of foreign affairs.

Nope. Africa definitely has an unfounded fear of western medicine, but it has little to do with religion.

Actually more to do with this bopper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_experimentation_in_Africa

The other issue, particularly in Liberia where the outbreak is at its worst, it was initially believed that the whole thing was just a conspiracy from the super corrupt government to get money from the West. That's partially why the aid response has been complicated, because you can't just drop money all over the problem (which is the preferred method for dealing with this kinda stuff) because the money would just end up in somebody's closet.

Guys trust me the people in third world countries don't have it hard, man up!
