ChrisAZD says, "It's just really difficult for a country to get technologically advanced when there is so much corruption going on."
Envied says, "i cant imagine not having phones tvs any connections "
Envied says, "Deevine what did you get most out of the article"
DEEvine says, "hmmmm....... just how every civilization isnt as advanced as we are"
DEEvine says, "i knew it was bad over there but i didnt know it was THAT bad"
DEEvine says, "and the fact that the government is holding them back isnt much help either"
DEEvine asks, "what about you?"
Envied says, "but if you think about it we are still behind"
Envied says, "china is so far ahead of us"
DEEvine says, "yeah but we are still ahead of them"
DEEvine says, "africa that is"
DEEvine says, "well chinas been ahead for ages"
Envied says, "i really think that is crazy"
DEEvine says, "i dont really care about china tho"
DEEvine exclaims, "well they are SMART!!!!"
DEEvine says, "what do you expect, we are so concerned about what the media says, that we arent advancing as quick"
Envied says, "did you know that in africa if any BLACKS find any diamonds or stones they have to give it to anyone that is not black"
Envied says, "they cannot sell it because no one will buy from blacks"
DEEvine exclaims, "WHAT!!!!!! THATS CRAZY!!!!"
DEEvine says, "i'd keep it"
Envied says, "that is a fact and it still goes on today"
DEEvine says, "id but that on my finger"
Envied says, "but what would you do with it"
DEEvine says, "BLING BLING"
Envied says, "lol hahahahha"
DEEvine says, "even if i didnt have anything i'd still have my rock on my finger"
Envied says, "the other people think you shouldnt be able to afford it so you have to give it away"
DEEvine says, "and thats still a lot more then most of the population"
DEEvine says, "i dont care what they think"
Envied says, "they are rich in resources but the natives are no able to take advantage of there oun resources"
DEEvine says, "true"
DEEvine says, "all the more to keep them for myself"
DEEvine says, "why give the rich more money"
Thu Feb 24 13:02:29 2005 PST
Envied says, "wew are the only one talking does anyone else have anything to say"
ChrisAZD asks, "if they can't take advantage of their own resources then how are they supposed to flourish?"
DEEvine says, "they have enough"
Envied says, "they are the riches in the woorld"
DEEvine says, "thats the reason they are living in poverty"
DEEvine says, "the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer"
ChrisAZD says, "exactly"
Envied says, "and did you know that on a map they make it seem that africa is small when you can fit america europe and like 2 other countries in it"
DEEvine says, "if the government would just help the people out a little more then they would the same luxuries that we do"
DEEvine says, "maybe not everything, but more then they have now"
ChrisAZD says, "the government is the major problem though"
DEEvine says, "i agree"
DEEvine says, "they need to make some major political changes before they can improve as a whole"
Envied says, "the government are the people who are tryong to keep there own people supressed"
Envied says, "i agree"
DEEvine says, "i agree with you"
ChrisAZD says, "Me too"
DEEvine says, "its like they complain about poverty, but yet do nothing to fix it"
DEEvine says, "and we as americans can only do so much"
Envied says, "they dont want to do any thing because there money hugry"
DEEvine says, "damn politcal figures"
Envied says, "ther only concern is the money nit there own people"
Envied says, "but we have that problem in the us also"
ChrisAZD says, "That problem is everywhere around the world."
DEEvine says, "yeah we do, but that is only a small percetage compared to them"
Envied says, "there is over 1 million people starving here"
Envied says, "but we rather help other countries"
DEEvine says, "and they have more then that"
Envied says, "and not be concerned with the people here"
DEEvine says, "most of the peeple starving here, are starving because they made wrong decisions"
ChrisAZD says, "True "
DEEvine says, "there are options out there to help people get back on thier own feet"
Envied says, "government says we have no money to feed all of our homeless but we have money to rebuild iraq and and help ther proverty"
Envied says, "most of the people down there have mental problems"
Envied says, "have you talked to any of theem"
Envied says, "they are crazy"
DEEvine asks, "any of who?"
DEEvine asks, "homless people?"
Envied says, "the homeless"
DEEvine says, "i use to voulnteer at a soup kitchen"
Envied says, "i agree some have but i dont feel any child should starve"
DEEvine says, "i had my fair share of quality time with them"
Envied says, "lol"
DEEvine says, "but most of our homless are adults"
DEEvine says, "walking around the streets"
Envied says, "but really i dont thimk we should be sending foo any other place when we have children with no water food or anything else"
DEEvine says, "most of our homless are drunks, and drugies"
Envied says, "some"
DEEvine says, "yes some"
Envied says, "but you have to think of the ones that are living out of cars"
Envied says, "and there is alot of children starving out there"
DEEvine says, "the people in these other countries dont even have cars"
DEEvine says, "have never seen one probably"
DEEvine says, "have never experienced anything more then what they learned in their lil villiage"
Thu Feb 24 13:12:32 2005 PST
Envied says, "but you have to look at the fact that our country is a rich country so cars are every day use"
DEEvine exclaims, "dont you think they want a car someday!"
ChrisAZD asks, "that's how behind they are in technology...so why does the rest of the world expect them to "catch up" with technololgy?"
Envied says, "i agree but sometimes i have to question our governments motive for feeding all these other countries "
DEEvine exclaims, "hell, i know i do!"
DEEvine says, "is it wrong to want to help others"
DEEvine says, "yes we do have poverty, but not as such a high risk that thousands die everyday or starvation"
Envied says, "they only help people that they think that they can control there governments someday"
DEEvine says, "i dont think so"
Envied says, "iraq the only reason we are at waar is because they want power"
ChrisAZD says, "good point Envied"
DEEvine says, "most of the organizations that help these villages are non profit"
DEEvine says, "red cross"
Envied says, "the 911 people were not even fron iraq they were from saudi arabia"
DEEvine says, "feed the children"
Envied says, "well maybe your right"
ChrisAZD says, "Hmmm...Paper Topics..."
DEEvine says, "not everyone is out for power and control"
Envied says, "the main point of this article was to so us that we are lucky to be able to have all of the advancements that we have"
DEEvine exclaims, "some just want to help!"
Envied says, "were able to use cell phones tv, radio and alot of other things"
DEEvine says, "topic ideas could be government control"
Envied says, "nit in africa thay have nothing"
DEEvine says, "that is true"
Envied says, "they are not able to use phones because there government wants to keep the retes up"
ChrisAZD says, "the main point of this article was to portray how far behind Africa is in technological aspects compared to the rest of the continents."
DEEvine exclaims, "yeah 15 a min is CRAZY!"
Envied says, "Africa is being suppressed be there government and it is never going to be fixed until the government iss overthrown"
DEEvine says, "with prices like that no wonder the information is hard to come by"
DEEvine exclaims, "I AGREE!!!!"
Envied says, "ther are so many topics for essays involving this article"
DEEvine says, "yeah, just our conversation alone is a topic"
Envied says, "ther is things dealing with the direct topic why are they wireless"
DEEvine says, "government control, starvation"
ChrisAZD says, "a possible paper topic could be how important it really is for third world countries to be technologically advanced"
Envied says, "or there are things like why does the government want to keep them supressed"
DEEvine says, "having tech in these countries is def beneifical for the people but not for government"
