wonder how that came about

What’s your point?
my point is, what makes you think Africa’s trajectory would be significantly different if Europe hadn’t raided their natural resources

its not like they had taken advantage of those resources in the previous centuries, relative to what Europe accomplished without them

If Africa hadn’t been raided by Europeans things look a lot different today.
no doubt this is an accurate statement, but answer this:

what were the relative technological and societal differences between the two continents at the time the Europeans began raiding the Africans?

You should read up on what europeans and the UK have done to Africa. Congo, Angola, South Africa to start, but basically the entire continent was pushed into poverty. It’s no surprise they are dangerous places, their resources have been stolen and there’s little to no opportunity for their citizens.

15 years ago i loaded up my family and one of my kids’ friend into our 2006 Ford Escape to go camping at Coleman State Park outside of Iuka, MS

i will never travel by car without first thoroughly checking weather conditions again

almost every town we passed through on that trip either had just been hit by a tornado or was about to be hit by one

the desire of our then political leaders to “diversify” our society starting with Hart-Cellar in 1965 (which we were specifically told would NOT significantly increase the percentage of peoples of non-European ancestry) eventually led to the legal entry into the US of these individuals:



i am of the position that their actions negated any and all societal advantages “diversity” has given the US, either before or since that fateful day

the thread on The Birds got me to thinking of other short pieces of fiction that would make good horror films

i’ve always been a big fan of James Thurber, who’s usual output was mostly comic with the occasional forays into romantic melancholia - but in the August 2nd 1941 edition of The New Yorker he published the following story, which was so disturbing to his pre-war readers that many were genuinely concerned for his mental wellbeing:

The Whip-Poor-Will

i believe this could make a great horror short subject

can you think of any others

Cignetti is a good coach but spending $15-20 million absolutely contributed to their run last year.
which was still considerably less than any other P4 team in the CFP last year, and even less than a bunch of teams that didn’t even have a winning season (*cough* Freezus *cough*)

thinking the Hoosiers’ record over the last two seasons is primarily due to the amount of money they paid their players is the real reason so many “bluebloods” are struggling with the new realities of CFB

at the condemned man’s request, Sheriff Gillespie (Caroll O’Connor) travels to Parchman to witness the execution of an accomplice to a deadly bank robbery that he had arrested years earlier

O’Connor’s final lines in this, delivered straightforwardly with no background music, are unexpectedly devastating

as an aside, O’Connor absolutely nails his portrayal of a world-weary Mississippi lawman throughout this series - he’s the very image of my grandfather, who was a police chief in Alabama
