Seriously guys, we have people suggesting slavery is the answer to Africa's problems and half the forum jumping on to agree. What the hell is going on?! Why have we reached a point when this is acceptable?

Yes, there are problems with Africa. Hundreds of years of oppression and the largest drought in modern history will do that to continent just decades after liberation.

But, come on. I am trying to appeal to that little voice in your head. Surely I'm just missing on huge joke. There aren't actually people who think there is nothing wrong with one nation oppressing another?

I think we can stop calling it a drought, its more of a climate shift at this point.

Anyway, shouldnt you accuse people of being idiots in the topic where they are being idiots? As opposed to creating a NEW topic that will turn into a flamewar...

flame war! flame war!

It never left.

I would just like to point out that no-one in the thread suggested slavery, they were talking about colonization. It may seem nitpicky, but trying to equivocate the Middle Passage with British Africa is not the wisest thing to do.

AHHH! THE STRAW MAN FALLACY! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

It died for years, until the 9/11 attacks on US.

actually they did say stuff about slavery in the first post, and colonization is just as bad as slavery. Besides, it's clonized enough!
