you'd have thought so but that never seems to be the case in africa. i really don't understand why though. maybe it's the way their tribal communities have evolved over time but the whole mindset seems so very different over there. much like iraq tbh. in the west we seem able to get over past grievances and move on but in africa it just seems to escalate into vengeance.kins83 wrote:With regards to your previous post, it's a great shame, but that really does seem to be the case (with leaders and opposition being as bad as each other). But surely there must come a point when enough people are tired of the shit that they've been through, and and so eventually some good must come out of the situation? Maybe I'm being an optimist and not much of a realist, but there has to come a time for revolution?
Right. Lunch time.
this is in no way a racist comment btw and i'm not going to start call them "savages" or anything like that because they clearly aren't. certain cultures just have very different ways of doing things because that's what has worked for them in the past. and a lot of the time different cultures don't seem very compatible - just look at attempts to bring democracy to places like iraq and afghanistan. without a complete shift in collective cultural identity it just doesn't seem to work
