Are first world countries to blame for the bulk of third world squalor?

by tootired2care in

throughout several past threads various posters have emphatically made the point that countries like great britian, united states, france etc.

basically countries where white people exist, are to blame for the poverty in many other third world nations.

some have even went so far as to suggest that the first world is to blame for all third world conditions.. i often see excuses such as these for why a country refuses to provide clean water, some food and basic sanitation for its people:.

Depends on the country.

Ethiopia did it all by themselves when they replaced a 3000 year old monarchy with some BS Soviet Colonialism. Haiti on the other hand was a country that France, the Dominican Republic, and America have conspired to make a failure for over 200 years.

Making loans to despots that are one wrong move away from being butchered by their own people is something that we need to put an end to. Shut down our military bases and shut down the World Bank and the world will be a better place.

Vexillology was a hobby of mine before I got married. My wife says I want to fly a flag just to annoy her. I'm a guy who loves to make 'a statement,' patriotic or fashionwise which is a trait my wife HATES. I don't do it just to annoy her, I always dreamed of having a flag collection and even several flagpoles so that I can be patriotic and multicultural at the same time, flying different countries flags on Saint Patricks Day, Cinco de Mayo, Fiji Day, Juneteenth, etc. but always alongside the red white and blue so that I can teach the kids that its possible to be patriotic without being nationalistic or xenophobic. Now I have the goods so she can lose the argument and make me feel like I "win the argument, lose the relationship" until she comes around a couple days later. Bwahahahaha!

Will JW.ORG actually harm the WT Society Long Term ?

my son and i were discussing this yesterday over coffee.

since the wt society in previous years virtually demonized going on the internet at all for jw's - now wt leaders are doing a complete turn around or about face probably so as to " compete " or keep up with all the anti-jw websites that are out there to give the wt society point of view.. however- it very well may backfire on them as once people start doing google searches looking for jw.org it will bring up all the other websites dealing with any jw issues and in the privacy of their own homes out of curiosity i'm sure lots of jw's are going to want to check out some of these sites to see what all the " apostate " hoopla is all about.

i wonder how many jw's will do this and will it have an effect in opening more minds to other views ?

I think that since the Jehovah's Witnesses have repeated the bs mantra that their Bible Studies are the best education you can get, and that they are discouraging schoolchildren from preparing for college that they need to put their money where thier mouth is. I think they are secretly preparing to branch out into accredited online education in order to stem the tide of neglected disfellowshipped young people. They have painted themselves into a corner on education and are on their way to becoming like the Old Order Amish and the Boboshanti Rastafarians where young people go astray as gangsters to earn their fortune and then 'go legit' with enough ill gotten gains to raise a family.

When you say beard is that the gay meaning or the theocratese meaning? To gays a beard means a female date to hide your true Identity, to JWs I think it it means an outsider but as a bearded outsider I wouldn't know because they would never use it in that context in earshot of me, to middle easterners it means a fuddy duddy preacher of any faith.

Scottish independance in two days what do you think?

one thing i would like to say is will the union jack be changed because the scottish flag is incorpreted in it.

if the union jack is changed will we change our australian flag because the union jack is in our flag?

even hawawi has the union jack also fiji and many other commonwealth countries.. .

A vote on Scottish Independence shouldn't have happened until the whole Northern Ireland thing gets resolved. An independent Ulster would have made a lot more sense looking at it from this side of the pond.

i absolutely love the show, sorry that it offends so many people.

if i were single again i would make being able to enjoy the show a dealbreaker.

I'm talking about a show on Adult Swim with a weave-headed Jesus in Compton who turns water into cognac and knows what everyone else is thinking, who despite the best of intentions annoys his faithless followers.

Leaving the Pound for the Euro doesn't make sense. But the Scots are good with money, they'll figure it out. Who knows, maybe they will issue a new and better currency than the Pound.

I remember the atheist who kept all the commands of the Bible for a year. The best part was when an old man told him that he used to cheat on his late wife and the guy started tossing pebbles at him so that he could keep the commandment to stone the adulterer. Everyone around thought he was crazy.
