IMF is not the solution it is the problem , Africa does not need help it needs to be left alone , this paternalistic approach to Africa ruined it , leave it rise on its feet and walk , let it count on itself and find its own way , enough of this false charity and these poisonous aides

FUCK the IMF!

Halliburton and friends. It's the wolf disguised as little red riding hood again. American gov't is the latter, you know who the former is. American capitalists never invest unless they make a substantial gain in return. They're operating out of China now as they look for tax and profit havens.

I mean, how do you distinguish between the culprit and the nature (i.e. conditioning) of that culprit?

[Zigahertz]

Yes, it can be controlled, but only to a certain degree. B/c as you are aware, we've had laws for a very long time now, and even tho we keep introducing new laws, people continue to violate them.. so bringing in new laws is not solving the problem, b/c the way i see it, the problem is with the way society is conditioned.. this kind of conditioning or indoctrinating is conducive to egotistical behavior and decision making.

[Zigahertz]

But how do u make the distinction between the culprit and the culprits actions or behavior?

As far as Evolution goes...Who knows where "nature" will take humans or any other life form on this planet. However, we have already begun to change ourselves through genetics. As time rolls on we will develope new propulsion systems that will allow us to explore our solar system and beyond. Not to mention all the little advancements we see each year in terms of technology & medicine.

Look I agree "kinda" with what you have said...Those who think the way you do are not spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to prevent others from having the same rights as the majority; teaching children we humans walked the earth with dinosaurs 6000yrs ago; science is bad; etc...However, to say we are as advanced (Evolution or Technology) as we are going to get is absurd to say the least! No one really knows about Evolution but Technology is moving forward at break neck speed!

"From 1970 to 1998 when aid flowed into Africa, poverty rose from 11% to 66%.!

Well no kidding. "aid" doesn't help countries. "Aid" has never helped anyone. Do you think China grows rapidly because of foreign "aid"?

Its easy to blame human nature on our problems, but when i come home and someone broke the lamp i dont blame human nature i go for the culprits.

and that is what everyone one is doing when they blame the US.

I totally agree with you, human nature is at its very basic is selfish. But human nature can be controlled, thats why someone doesnt walk into your house and take your computer from your desk this very moment.

There are a system of laws in place to protect your private property. The system of laws in the US to federally regulate derivatives was loosened first under Clinton then Bush, and then Greedy Bankers did the rest.
