Yeah...this power struggle thing really gets to me too...Unfortunately we as a species have not yet reached a higher conciseness...although some of us are well on our way(including you by the sound of things) and struggle over this territory or that one has been going on since man kind stopped nomadic migration and started up with agriculture and ,,,this plot of land belongs to me and that plot of land belongs to you,...until we find a way to rise above this as a species, I do not see any real hope of improvement!

I don't see the sense in preaching at all.  Instead of buying a plane ticket send them the money.  Do you have any idea how far $1000 US would go in most countries in Africa?  Africa doesn't need any more outsiders going in there and creating more division between the people.  The French did it, the Belgians, Germans, British, etc. People need to realize when to stop *trying to* help.\n\n\n*Forcing*

Your theory sounds perfectly reasonable. It's the sensible thing to do. But it's so much more difficult to pass judgement, once you have met a family in this situation. Nothing is ever black & white. I DO believe however, that the parents should have a huge say in how the doctors deal with resasitation, etc., especially if they want it all to stop.\n\nI also think, that the aid in Africa should be controlled, because an increase in population completely destroys the nature there and the consequence is that the Africans speed up the growth of the deserts and eliminate their food supplies for the future. So it's the logical thing to do, but hey, letting thousands of cute African babies die...? Catch 22 again.

Why can't Africa help itself? Last I checked we have a COUPLE of problems over here.

First, "the West" doesn't care or not care about anything.  Individual people in the West make individual decisions about what they care about.  I can't speak for the West.  I can only speak for myself.\n\nAs a human being, I am limited in my ability to understand all of the horrible things going on in the world.  Many people worldwide are being tortured and killed.  Yet I am not strong enough emotionally to invest myself in caring about all of them at once.  I could also ask you why you don't care about the people in North Korea or Zimbabwe, but I understand that you can't solve all the world's problems either.\n\nThe situation in Darfur is FAR more devastating than any other in the world today.  And, if something doesn't change soon, the entire population may be killed.  The situation in Palestine may be bad, but it is nowhere near as bad as Darfur today.\n\nI'm not as aware of the situation in Ogaden today, because our press isn't reporting on it, but I will say that Americans were very concerned about that area in the past.  Another limitation of humanity is that we can't deal with the idea of a problem that is never solved.  Thus, many people have deceived themselves into believing that the situations in Ethiopia and Somalia are somewhat resolved.  It's sad but true.\n\nThe simple reality is that people are not perfect, and we can't solve all the problems of the world.  The problem in Darfur, however, is such a simple one for us to understand, and to know who is wrong, that it is much easier to support efforts at reform there.  Palestine is complicated, and most of us can see both sides a little, and don't know how to solve it.  So we prefer to focus on the problem we believe we CAN solve.

Heck NO...can you imagine 180 different cultures wanting different things. Like in\nMuslims countries it's common to put in JAIL anyone\nwho doesn't agree with their religion.\nMany African nations have crazy laws like this\nthat we coundn't agree to...and they out number us!\n\nJust think about what your asking a little bit

black people should not be in London or New York. They talk about repatriation is a must well why do they invade first rate nations then call them a problem. AFRICA for the africans and I firmly believe that. The only problem is blacks will talk about going to Africa but some how they never Leave. In my country of Tibet they are not welcome.

Too True. Why not? the 'West' continue to enjoy the fruits of exploitation whilst turning a blind eye to the exploited. In having it in your face you will at least not claim not to know. Africa frnakly needs to take it's own affairs in hand and kick out the exploiters.

AIDS is contributing to the underdevelopment of the entire African continent.  There is no good reason for the US to withdrawl funding to fight it.  It is morally reprehensible to ignore the problem and from a more pragmatic view the problems in Africa will hurt America in the long run.  Disease has destabilized much of Africa and led to wars, racial tension, and genocide.  This is a world problem, not just Africa's.

All the african nations recently have made an impact on the world stage - Nigeria, Cameroon and Senegal especially. To be honest I think Togo and Angola might not create too many shocks, they are in tough groups with seasoned campaigners but I would be very wary of the Ivory Coast

Your idea is great. I would love it. You can practically go anywhere in your own country !! Cool. Plus think of it, no cross border terrorism, no wars, no nothing. We wolud be living in a peaceful world. Most of the evils in this world are due to difference in any two countries. One is more developed then other this and that. Though your idea is pretty good, I am afraid that what you say beholds true! Indeed, Human greed for power and wealth will not make it possible in first place cause everyone in the political field today, atleast the president's of today's countries will want to be the supreme of this new country and there will be conflicts. And Secondly, even if it takes place, the developed will develop more while poor will become poorer as the competetio will increase far more than ever. That is a brilliant idea. But do no feel sad, you can still dream about it tonight because I know, I will. I definately will.\nSo Long. Keep thinkin of more of such ideas. Bye

B-definitely\nBy the end of th 19th century almost all of Africa and Asia were control ed by both Britain and French hands, and the Caribbean has been a European possession for hundreds of years.  The control of Asia and Africa by the French and British was one of the main causes of the first world war, as Germany was forced to take possession of the most undesirable locations.  This was a root cause of the rivalry that lead to WWI.

Seeing that God Save The Queen is the national anthem of the United Kingdom as a whole, it would perhaps be good if each of the constituent nations adopt a song as a "national" anthem when they play internationals since they play as seperate countries anyway. I think Land of Hope and Glory would be a perfect choice for England.

I think facilities should be put into consideration. I can imagine Togo a poor country in Africa being put to compete under same circumstances as US which has all the money and resources in the world. Its simply unfair. I guess everyone else can see this!

I think a global opinion does matter, Your country represents you and i do care how others in other countrys veiw me.(I however dont care how my country citzens veiw me).And I do think our presidents actions determine how the world sees us, hes our representitve for us. If we are running around blowing up things and killing people no matter what the cause, thats got to look bad. If we are seen as a agressive country (to the world) we could be biting off more than we can chew. I know if other people in other countries or country was over here for any reason blowing up my family and friends (even if they say they had a just cause) it wouldnt fly over to well with me.If we were arrogant and didnt care what was thought of us, we might make more mistakes than we would if we cared. Constuctive critisism is a good thing, and we should be aware of what everyones doing and thinkin and why  there doing it. Its not a good thing to be biased,like history often is,and it makes you miss out on half of perspective.If we dont care,we are just like (in a sense) the bad guys. i know i like to see the whole picture, shouldnt everyone else too?

zafrumi666 I would be most happy to return to the tropical paradise from which I originate if your western countries returned the wealth they stole from it and also stopped exploiting non-western countries for cheap primary resources (crops, minerals, oil, etc).\n\nBlond dyslexic I fully agree with you. Whether or not you believe in Karma most people would agree that at some time what you put around finally comes around. As those white oppressive colonialist farmers sowed, so they are now reaping!

Good Questions. \n\nI think that if countries are willing to force "advice" upon other countries..they should at least practice what they preach.\n\n\nHope that helps Moe.
