Morefire 65: Your vocabulary is just fine because what you say came from your heart as well as your mind and your heart gets an "A" for the love you showed. So refreshing.

Africa seems to be living...existing...under a brutal curse. I don't know if it stems from all their false deities or what but I am convinced there's few free thinking intellectuals who do not understand this even though lucrative financial considerations may well shorten their tongues to a nub on the matter. Such a pity t

Congrats South Sudan...

I am hopeful that " TAmil Eelam" will be another FREE country in the island of Srilanka.

1,40,000 TAMILS were killed in the war 2009.

United Nations, USA, UK should sent its Army to Srilanka and protect Tamil Civilians and conduct a FREE Referendum there...

Watch Channel4 ( UK ) for Srilanka's Killing Fields

I come from germany and first I stand with all people in south sudan. It's great to see a christian state which is going to develope. The Islam in the north will keep north sudan poor and full of violent.
