I've read books longer than you've been alive. But that wasn't what I meant. I meant I'll take wikipedia over the articles Surf linked.

/e And no, it wasn't convenient. It was like 25x longer. I did read Surf's articles as well.


That's exactly what I was criticizing. You're taking a reference that be altered by literally anyone.

Here's some cause and effect: the toxic and nuclear waste had to be in the ocean before or after the 2004 tsunami, for the tsunami to wash it ashore?

Do you have a point here?

/e People black and white, need to realize that this pity party BS we've been handing out to the blacks... is hurting, not helping, the blacks. I lived through the 60's bro, I was alive and coherent when civil rights happened.

I saw this prior to your edit. Surf's link wasn't MSM.

What did you mean they "had to KNOW" waste was in the ocean? You mean like how people and fish were mysteriously dying? That kind of knowing? Or were you trying to imply that without proof, no one should care?

From what I've read, the toxic waste lay undisturbed in it's containers, until the tsunami.. The tsunami tore open the containers. This was in 2004.
W/o pissing off our neighbors across the pond... their country was destroyed long before then. It was even destroyed before our neighbors got there. They've had a truly blood soaked history... for practically.... millennia.

I did check out the book you linked and the author. He's good... maybe too good for use in the world... yet.

It's interesting that Somali pirates have managed to hijack this thread.

Well, there IS a Somalia pirate who happens to be the congress woman for the 5th Minnesota district, aka... Minneapolis.
She and the city council have decided that the best solution is to dismantle the city police force.

Arguing about the Somalia pirates is easier than thinking about what will probably happen to Minneapolis.

Amazing how one person can mentally decline this much. Someone should make a case study of it, maybe even check for CTE after you're deceased.

Knowing people like you exist, makes the possibility of early death... attractive.

It's almost like those first world countries colonized them, extracted their resources with no compensation to the locals, violently suppressed uprisings and killed their leaders, and then used them as a dumping ground when colonialism stopped being viable.


Strange how East and South East Asian countries started doing so much better than African or Middle Eastern countries once colonialism ended. The Brits literally turned China into a people of drug addicts, and when their leadership tried to resist, they sent troops and violently subdued the Chinese insurrection so they could continue to sell their opium to them. By 1950, after Mao's Long March, China was in shambles, mass starvations were the norm. It was one of the very poorest countries on the whole planet, poorer than half of africa - and look where they're now.

There's also a glaring disparity between Somalia and its immediate geographic neighbors. Ethopia, Kenia and Tanzania have all made huge strides over the last 10-20 years and rank among the most improved African countries. Meanwhile, Somalia keeps being a desolate shithole. Maybe, just mayyyyybe, this disparity has more to do with Al-Shabaab islamists operating in Somalia today than with colonialism from 60 years ago.
