It's only gonna get worse, North Africa has serious problems with arable land...there just isn't enough rainfall to grow enough crops to feed everyone...I remember reading some time back that the reason north africa is now mostly desert is due to deforestation caused by the Romans, now how much of that is true I don't know, they must've cut down a load of trees...but ever since then the desert has grown...with Global warming increasing the chances of Africa getting warmer and drier increases too, this is gonna be the next big factor to hurt the area... If a cure for AIDS was found, that would be great, but then you have the downside for the arfricans, more people would be living, and therefore breeding, and then you'll have even more mouths to feed with less food available...it's a nasty situation that will self perpetuate... You used the "Teach them how to fish" line..that was and is the line used a lot on MTV adverts trying to appeal to the youth of today..."Give the man a fish and he can feed his family for a day, but give him the means to catch his own fish and he will be able to provide for a lifetime." This sounds great, until you remember how many there are to feed. There are 3 ways I can see to go about this...1) Keep sending food aid, and make them reliant on hand outs for ever...2) Make the governments of the countries in trouble responsible for what they do..but how much are they to blame? It's not their fault it never rains...3) Cut/Abolish 3rd world debt (as voiced by Bono). 3rd world countries owe over $20bn to 1st world nations $1.2bn to the UK alone..if that debt was removed, then maybe the governments of the countries could find some extra cash to plough into infrastructure, for towns, farming, water replenishment etc....we'll never know until it happens..but will it happen? that's my take on africa atm. Go buy Band Aid 20 single :D

I need HL2 as well, cos i cant nick Hicksy's copy cos he downloaded it from steam so I need my own one :angry:

all im trying to say is don't get so annoyed at David for posting something he found funny...overreaction is bad mmkay :) As Fran Healy would say "Peace the fuck out"

the thing with philosophy and religion is that each person takes their own view on a phrase or statement, look how many different christianity religions all sprung up from 1 bible purely down to different opinions on what God actually meant when he said "blah blah"... I have tried to understand your last paragraph but i think your meaning got lost in translation :( Still prefer my idea to it tho...but then that's personal choice...the equivalent english saying is "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill"

:lol:

Channel 5 in UK isn't the same at night...I miss NHL...instead they're showing over 50s golf from florida and places like that...omg it SUCKS!!!

applied :)

lol best post evah!!!

Confusious he say "No point looking for a cat in a darkened room, especially when the cat isn't there" Think those words of wisdom can sum up this thread :) PS for those with no clue (ie blond girls) it means "Don't go looking for problems, especially those that don't exist"

rofl, old ones are the best :)

i thought the original joke was funny :huh:

amazing what you walk in on when you prowl the CP boards at night :P

paint it black?

I built a snowman in germany early in the year while Jessy was at uni...a 26 year old guy pushing a ball of snow around...mustve hought i was mad...but the fact is, where i grew up in Gloucester UK..i saw like 3 snowstorms in 19 years...it sucked..Wales and Birmingham got all our snow..by the time it got to us it melted.

I'll do a quick version...."Stop using up all the worlds natural resources else you'll have no idea what to do when it all runs out, and because you were so dependent on it, you get fucked over royally"

Whether americans like it or not, this type of thing will always happen...the rest of the world has an opinion on the US because whatever the US does affects the rest of the world...you gotta take the rough with the smoothe. It's the price of being the last world superpower.

Keanu likes toes

dick bum dick

lol there needs to be a Bush to English dictionary so we know what he's trying to say...wonder if babelfish will provide one soon.

So thats how Kevin Costner ended up where he did in the beginning of "The Postman" I had always wondered.

worried i had tetanus for a while, still not sure, got a doctors appointment tomorrow to get my booster injection..not had one it turns out for 13 years, supposed to get one every 10...and my jaw is sore...

Devestating (btw only just checked this forum)...Ol' Crazy Horse was everything that Liverpool stood for...was a legend...RIP Emlyn, enjoy the big football pitch in the sky. YNWA

This can go 1 of two ways now he's dead...either the new leader will listen and be communicative with the Jews and maybe some concessions will be reached, or he will be just like Arafat and we don't get anywhere and everything gets worse.
