I have no words to adequately describe your pompous liberal-like ego. You really are NOT a conservative. And you have a reading comprehension problem.

I have read numerous accounts of Western do-gooders building wells for various African villages. Hand pumps, easy to maintain, designed exactly for the conditions. Problem is, within a short time, some men will cut up every bit of metal from the well head and well to sell for scrap to buy beer. Sigh. What can you do, when the concept of “enlightened self interest” (ie “don’t tear up the new village well for beer money”) simply doesn’t exist?

"Yes, we were lucky just to be born here! All to easy to take for granted."

Some were lucky to be born here. Others were men who invented and built many things here. Enjoy the benefits of that globalism and socialism to some, because it's going to be gone before long.

There are more than enough inventive, hard working Americans living rough lives, but they don't whine as much as globalist/government thieves and their global friends. And yes, I'm qualified by enough with experiences to make that statement.

And Americans who own small properties and would build and maintain their own infrastructure necessities and businesses are obstructed by frivolous regulations, HOAs and other rackets from doing so—regulations and rackets devised by effete and worldly residents to keep the redneck riff-raff from becoming neighbors. Currently, foreclosures are on hold all over the country in an effort to continue the anti-development regime. After those foreclosures go through, its all over for the local regulators (big decreases in property values, taxes and other revenues).

‘Penis shrinking’ and masturbation are two different things. Nobody has a monopoly on sexual perversion.

What you claimed those African men did is not fundamentally different from what Anthony Wiener was caught doing. Hundreds of thousands of Westerners do that sort of thing. The only difference is technology. Your tabloid media is full of Westerners caught doing that sort of thing.

Nobody claims that all Westerners are like Anthony Wiener, so stop claiming that all African men are like that.

Senegal and Gambia are full of European women looking for young black men. Thailand, Cambodia and Laos has their fair share of horny, despicable Westerners yet nobody says “that’s the West for you”.

The reasons why Africa, with all it’s great natural resources, has not progressed is an interesting subject for me.

Think it has to be the culture, ultimately. White farmers made Zimbabwe fertile and now the locals are destroying that. Something about the mentality of the local people that is so difficult for us to understand and I think their religion has a ton to do with it.

Antony Weiner and a phalanx of his buddies were following you, masturbating? My word!

many of them considered this role as part of her job, if not the most important part.

Sorry, that was inadvertently funny

please don’t assume all of us think that way of all Africans.
