You have to be some special kind of prick to make/sell fake drugs, every person involved in the process and production of doing this, from making the drugs, to transporting them, to selling them, deserves life imprisonment. Unbelievably disgusting practice.

religion is a set of belief, any kind of belief even if you belief theres no God.

so that also makes you a member of a cult too for ur belief.

[TheProphetMo]

There is no doubt that islam is slowly destroying Africa.

This death cult political dogma is an abomination on the whole world but it is in Africa where it will eventually die.

When Africa rises again and kicks the ass of islam, it will show its true spirituality, culture and power, and the whole continent will

flourish and eventually give birth to a new democracy that will spread across the whole world.

Islam is mental slavery - let us stone it to death.

Belief in God as a supreme being, or worse a supreme human being writ large across the heavens is a form of primitivism. God is unknowable, but exists.

i'm really sad that my loved country mauritania is based on corruption and unjustice....every where u go you're a target of your own country's laws, i mean we "the population" are tired of been the victims of our own damn goverenemt...what type of country that can't build a damn hospital for its civilians, man i get sad when i think of the poor people who can't afford to pay the charges of a private cliniques, schools, and so on... it's the time that we build our country mauritania, God bless

muhammadalattas: Incorrect. Atheism is not a set of beliefs, it is the *rejection* of a set of beliefs, due to lack of proof in support of those beliefs.

[dimitribeta]

absolutely. its a different level of corruption.

But why the hell would they put just a little dosage of the ingredient in the drug? The patients are gonna be taking the drug cause they have a medical problem, and medical problems if not treated are lethal down there, so don't these con artists at least think about the repercussions of using partially fake medication?

[powa2life]

This problem is more widespread than we know. Multi-drug resistance is a huge issue in 3rd world countries and developing countries like the subcontinent, partially due to patient non-compliance and also due to illegal fake drug distribution by so called pharmaceuticals

[TheBigHo111]

that is twisted logic.

Religion requires faith. (belief without evidence)

Also religion requires teaching from a spiritual teacher.

religion: belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
