The long and ugly tradition of treating water as wet in its liquid form.
“Africa is a dirty diseased place”
Why yes it is.
Well, at least they chose the appropriate photo.
That’s flat offensive. Water can, if it chooses be one of 52 states of being. Call it “Purple Penguins” or something so it doesn’t feel bad about it’s properties at a given time.
Freaking hater....
What wasn't sold to be eaten was left in the street in any kind of weather. But at least an old man with a cart, broom, rake, shovel and hand-pulled cart would show up a day or so later to clean up and haul the refuse away.
If the Chinese were permitted to colonize them, they could potentially reach that level of civilization.
Selling dried monkeys in an open marketplace is a sure sign of an advanced society that we would do well to make part of the American culture.
We have a president who denies the reality of evil and calls it good. Until that injustice is rectified there will be no hope of overcoming human tragedy.
Dude, look...all cultures are equal. Read the memo. Dried monkeys are totally on par with space flight and quantum thermodynamics.
Freaking haters....
When I was in Africa and you looked in the frozen section of what we would call a grocery store, the paws were still on the selection so you would know exactly what it was.
When we lived there 40+ years ago we never ate any meat except what came in cans from Europe. Canned hams from Denmark were most of our meat consumption. It was just too risky to buy meat in a meat market. Even in a grocery store (they had several, run by Greeks). You just never knew what it had done in its previous life...hop, crawl, fly, slither, pull a cart, swing from trees...
“I cannot believe that liberalism is so far gone mentally that they cannot allow themselves to acknowledge reality.”
Liberalism is a mental disease that prevents them from acknowledging reality.
Believe it - this is the same crew that decries any mention of American exceptionalism and pulls the race card out to trump any reasoned argument. This is no different.
It's called "accurate reporting".
“You just never knew what it had done in its previous life...hop, crawl, fly, slither, pull a cart, swing from trees...”
Got elected twice...
Libtards believe in cultural relativism and cultural equivalence.That is the way they can deny American superiority and consider it politically incorrect.If America is not objectively superior to other cultures, then their idea of submerging American sovereignty into a one world government becomes one step closer to realization.
20 ¶Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
They say Isaiah was prophesying about our day.
Remember Richard Burton, the British explorer, not the actor. He had the same comments about Africa as you do. He talked about the despots who became kings, emperors and rulers who ruled with a heavy, cruel hand.
Reading about it was eye opening.
All completely true. But I believe that they also believe to their core that visualization = Reality. thats why think songs can stop wars and get combatants to haZ huggies.
they picture it in their minds ergo their wish becomes manifest. If it does not, it is only because some purist right winger messed something up and it as almost there until that happened.
Just look at their belief in AGW and the real. They believe a thing is real ergo it is.
Bush's Fault!
